Dear Friends,

When things get tough, the tough get going. We have experienced this yet again during the last three years when the ripples of war and fighting on our doorstep at Inhaminga began to rock our ministry boat in the Central provinces. We learned to move with the rocking, determined not to go backwards or let go of our dream and calling. With courage and passion our team pulled together with us and we have seen amazing things happen. 

With an acceleration of fighting at the end of 2016, we realised we could not run our New Generation Leadership School in Inhaminga, due to the dangers we would be exposing our visiting ministers to. We were also not sure if we would be able to have Bible School at all in Inhaminga. We decided to move New Generation Leadership School to the safe zone of Nacala. God superseded us in all our plans. Not only do we have 72 students at Nacala, but we also have 70 regular bible School students at Inhaminga. We (Rod & Ellie) and some of our key teachers are taking the long African road between our two schools and covering both while the rest of the team stays full time at one or the other. 

We have stretched ourselves, strengthened our stakes and are covering all, and loving it. We are experiencing the love and power of God in a very tangible way. 

More good news is, we have peace in Mozambique while peace talks are under way, and we believe this is the breakthrough that will see no return to war.

Without you, our friends, prayer warriors and supporters, the amazing things that are happening would not be possible. Thank you for your faithfulness to us, we are grateful beyond words,

Rodney & Ellie

and the Afrika Wa Yesu Team
