Having completed her university studies, one of our
young people, Rebecca Tincello, is departing for a six-month spell in Africa. Rebecca
and three others will form a team that will work with the Mozambique Baptist Convention
in their youth work, including Bible studies and running workshops on
leadership, discipleship and teamwork etc. They may also be involved in sports
activities, youth evangelism and social action.
They’ll be working with the local pre-school programme which
provides a low-cost basic Christian-based education for pre-school children
from poor communities. The team will also be involved in the daily life of the
Kedesh Santuario orphanage, which is where they will be living. This will
include supporting the education of the boys living there, farming and gardening
and running sports and craft activities.
The climate will not be easy as it will be the warm wet season
when temperatures will be 25°C to 40°C and, as the humidity will be high, it will be very sticky.
We wish Rebecca God's every blessing and look forward to getting news of work with a very
different Christian community.
