Another 30 plus hour bus ride but this time leaving Cape Town to travel to Maputo, Mozambique. Where we were blessed with a place to stay for the night because a couple on our squad knew a missionary family in Maputo. Where they allowed us to spend the night in their home, but also fed us incredibly well and simply blessed us with a haven for the night.
In the morning we hoped on another bus where Siloam spent only four hours on the bus travelling to a town called Incaia. Which is somewhere in the bush. The roadside we were dropped off on consists of about 16 shops, which I can garauntee are not the kind of shops you are thinking. Next we climbed into the back of a toyota truck and drove a little ways away. By that I mean it was literally about three minutes from where we were dropped off.
From there we began to figure out what our ministry, housing, travelling and basically trying to gain knowledge as to how everything would look this month.
Getting settled in our tents, inside a building is where we will be sleeping this next month. What ministry looks like is still somewhat uncertain, but slowly becoming clearer. Our contact Antonio was under the assumption that we would be bringing thousands of dollars to build buildings. Of which we do not have the finances to do.
Instead we have been visiting families in the bush bush praying, praying, visiting and we have done a church service. Francis and I came together and established music and Dusty had been in charge of doing the sermon for the morning.
This week looks to have more for us to do, unless circumstances change but we will not get to that just now. Tomorrow we will be doing some visitations, and to be honest I am not sure what looks like exactly. Wednesday and Thursday we will be doing childrens program and the weekend we will be teaching men and women. What we will be teaching them we don't know, but thankfully we have about 5 days to find out.
