Update-Maggie in Mozambique

This is Jody. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! I pray for blessings for you for the New Year. I've included parts of an email I received from Maggie. Please continue to pray for her team as they minister in the heat, and for their plans to go to the YWAM base in Mamputo.
I got to check my email again!!...Christmas was nice here! We got up early to deliver presents to the kids and helped serve them lunch. In the evening I
organized a white elephant gift exchange and a letter exchange. It was
a lot of fun. I don't think I have ever been that homesick though...It was
good though. Now we are preparing for new years. We
are doing face painting and a whole bunch of other stuff. It's going
to be fun. We leave Iris Ministries base Wednesday morning and are
suppose to be staying at the YWAM base in Mamputo, the thing is that
they haven't been returning Brandon's emails and so as of right now we
don't have a place to go. Our bus tickets back to South Africa aren't
until January 24th so we are kind of in a pickle. So yeah be praying
that everything works out.
Where we are working right now is in the big city and the iris base is
really nice. So I haven't really seen how Africa really is, that is
until yesterday. Yesterday we went out into the bush bush and went
from house to hut praying for families and things there. It was sooo
sooo hot and I got sick once. Everyone was just because it was so hot
and we were hiking everywhere....It's been about 115 here the past
few days and next month it is suppose to be even hotter!! But it was
an amazing experience to see how the majority of Africa lives.
OH!!!! Something else so Paul came up to me a few days ago and told me
that when Hanson recorded their The Walk cd, the one that I got just
before I went to their concert, they came here and recorded with the
kids for the cd (remember how it had the Africa children singing?)
Well the whole group knows I am a Hanson fan, but when Paul came and
told me I thought he was just messing with me. So yesterday I went and
asked a missionary here and they confirmed it!!!! How awesome is
that. My life is now complete :)
Ok time is about up so I gotta go. Tell everyone that I love them and
pass along any updates! LOVE YOU!!!!

Update-Maggie

I pray you are having a very blessed Christmas season! I wanted to make sure you all knew that Maggie, as far as we know, is in Mozambique. We last heard from her Friday in Johannesburg. They had gotten their malaria medicine at a much cheaper cost than they had anticipated, and had received their visas in 20 minutes! God is paving the way. Ministry plans had changed and Maggie said she'd be involved in a music and dance ministry with children. If you know Maggie, this is a dream come true for her!! They split up duties for their time in Mozambique and Maggie is in charge of meals and worship. Again, this is a blessing for her! Please continue to pray.

Our church has been handling money for Maggie's YWAM training. Now that the tuition cost has been covered, any funds for her needs in Africa or continued support for her future mission work needs to be sent to LOVEM Ministries, C/O Don and Jody Fields, 22394 Mulebarn Rd., Sheridan, IN 46069. If you have any questions about this feel free to call Faith Family Ministries or Jody at 765-242-2684.

God bless you this season!
