HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS

Keith, didn't see this lion which was lying in the grass just outside our car.  The unexpected could have happened had he not noticed the lion at the last minute just before  he was to get out of the car.  Well, the unexpected happened to the people in Mozambique, just about a week ago.  The small Limpopo River, became a huge River and flooded the area around Xai Xai , Mozambique in Africa where we minister and the Sound Studio is located.  Praise the Lord the Studio is on high ground and was not involved!  The road that connects Mozambique both North and South is almost totally destroyed in the Xai Xai area. The last time the river flooded was in 2000 , but this time it is worse than then. We all need to be watchful in our lives not just for physical dangers , but also the spiritual dangers.  So with this physical disaster comes the need for spiritual protection and Hope.  The Shangann language has just recently been recorded in the Sound Studio for the Audio Bible.  Now we need prayer to give these people Hope by giving them the Audio Bible in their heart language , Shangann.  We are asking God to supply 1,000 more Audio Bibles this year for Mozambique.  Lamentations 3: 24  The Lord is my portion, says my soul ,therefore I have Hope.    They have lost everything, crops and homes, but God is faithful and He will give them Hope.  Through the partners who , along with us provide the Audio Bibles bringing Hope.  There are organizations that help with the disaster relief that is physical, God has shown us to bring Hope to the Hopeless in bringing His Word in the form of the Audio Bible in their language.  If you are lead by the Lord to be part of the 1000 Audio Bibles please send any donation to AFCC  3399 142nd Ave. Holland, Mi.49424                                                                                                                                                                   PS:   One more prayer request is for Keith as the unexpected happened to us last week, when we were told he needs outpatient surgery to remove melanoma from his shoulder.  The surgery will be on Monday Feb. 11.
In His Plans & Times,
Keith & Chaplain Vicky DeKraker  " AFCC"
