Feb./09 1John 4: 16" We know how much God loves us, and we put our trust in Him. God is love.............." It is always good to reflect on His love, and then our love one to another. We are now in Sebring, Fl. being the hands and compassion of Jesus to retired missionaries. Keith , is doing the practical hands on maintence things, and I am helping with the assisted living area with the residents, and as a resident told me" Just Be There". So I am listening and praying with them and helping as possible , too.
We arrived safely on Feb.4/09 to be greeted by many old friends and missionaries from last year. We have again connected with a couple that live out in the town of Sebring. They have been very supportive of the Feeding Centers in Swaziland. We spent a day with them recently at the Florida State Fair which they had invited us to. It was good to hear their story from this last year. However, there was a sad part as well, when they told us they had lost their business. God tells us to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. We look forward to rejoicing with them in the future as God shows them what is next. He will bring good out of what was meant for evil. We also ask prayer for our brothers and sisters in Swaziland as they also are weeping , because their source of incomes has been taken away from them. It is so hard to understand when the hurtful attacks come from other people in the body of Christ. This is what has happened to these two couples. Pray they find jobs, and a place to live. Pray they are aware of how The Lord is leading them now. We also pray for their safety , as another brother in Christ was attacked by his neighbors , but was not hurt, however, he may lose his home and church.

We praise the Lord for His continued faithfullness in our lives and our families lives. Kelvin our son, and his wife are taking our grandson, Dylan to the Childrens's hospital in Cinncinati, Ohio this week. Pray the trial drug continues to work and not have negative side effects. Dylan, is our hero!!! It isn't always nice with having to have muscle biopsies, and the drug itself has him overly emotional, and implusive.
We continue to thank the Lord " For such a time as this". Please pray it will help other children with Muscular Dystyrophy.

The sound studio in Mozambique has just gotten the other 240 Audio Bibles shipped in, pray they get distributed out to the people. Pray for the dedication of the Makua language in Northen Mozambique, Manapo. We are praying for 1,000 Audio Bibles this year. We know of many places God wants them distributed, like Zimbabwe, Swaziland, and Mozambique, even those in South Africa. We also are praying for 50 of the Sabers( which are hand cranked digital devices) we will use with children, and the Sunday School, and Bible Stories for the children. This is a new machine made in Australia. They are about $50.00 each, but have a larger speaker for a larger group of children to hear. The Ambassadors are excellent and are being used, they are the size of a deck of cards, with a smaller speaker, so they are not as loud or as clear for larger groups as the Saber can do. We ask prayer for our return to Africa in about a year from now, and that we need a car available for us to distribute supplies, and go where the Lord directs us!!!!

So Blessings and Love in the Lord, God is Love,
Vicky & Keith
