We recently received news from the Davies family in Mozambique. Steve & Katuska went out to Maputo Bay to work in the OMS seminary there and have now been asked to lead the seminary. Prayer is needed as they adjust to this new role (which includes switching to semesters and organising a full review of the curriculum taught there and working with the various churches which use the seminary) and especially for Katuska as she juggles acting as treasurer with teaching and with looking after their three children.
More practical news includes updates about their home: ‘as for life here on the compound, we finished our house extension after weeks of rubble and dust. This was closely followed by a tree-felling spree, as it was decided to get rid of several eucalyptus trees that were stopping anything else from growing… We probably don’t need to tell you about the temperatures; it’s just hot, day and night, indoors and out…’
Recent health scares included Joseph’s ‘Christmas Eve and New Year specials, with suspected appendicitis and then a bout of malaria’ and Samuel’s sprained foot. But overall, the family is well and convinced that ‘I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.’ (Phil 4:13)
