May 2020

We started with deforestation of a piece of land at Mwala Madzi to make space for new plantings. 5 May We started off with 200 broiler chicks and we plan to buy 200 every second week. On six weeks we can start selling live stock. 18 May We hired a threshing and harvesting machine from a group of the local people. Jannie had to do a lot of work and had to almost rebuild the machine before we could use is. The mealies has been harvested and stripped and placed in 50kg bags. There were 215 bags off the 2ha. We decided to mix our own chicken feed. Riaan en Soretha Terblance visited us, and it is always such a blessing to receive fellow believers. 19 May Be traveled to Vila Ulongwe (about 70km from us) to buy another 200 chicks. We are so thankful that we did not need to go accross the border to buy the chicks. 20 – 23 May We traveled to Tete for a Praise and Worship event with American fellow believers. It was awesome! 27 May The water pump and engine has been repaired and Jannie took it to the farm. Now the coffee trees can get enough water.

April 2020

April 2020 Mozambique is under lockdown as well and all the border posts are closed. Everybody must wear their facial masks and keep their safe distance. The church gatherings is held with not more than 10 people at a time, and they must sit outside the church building. One of our pastors held a communion service for 160 of his church members. He was arrested and had to pay a fine of 43 000 MT (R11 000). Jannie used this time to build shelves in the container, and now all his tools are organised and he can see where everything is. At the clinic we only see malaria patients and patients with wounds.
