We visited Xai-Xai in Mozambique some 200 km north of Maputo, along the coast. We visited Mel and Diane Stauber who is related to our son in law Sean.
They run 2 care points where children could come and hear some bible stories, sing songs and get some food. The care point was next to a church that was just built. About 100 children where coming and it was touching to see how they were interested to listen, to participate and learn.
Children were from 2-3 to 14-15. They want to start a preschool here, and then have some other gathering for the school going children that could come after school in the afternoon for a gathering and some food.
On the other place the work was more new. It was also good to meet this children and their caretakers.
Interesting to see how children are able to play with what they have. Skipping rope made of local materials where used with some rhymes that were recited as they were jumping.
Many of the houses outside town was made of reeds keept together with some thin wire. It is cheap and easily available building material. It is quite relevant in a climate that is quite warm throughout the year. Here is even a church built of this material - Assemblies of God International was written over the enterance.
Good to see that people are able to use what they have to develop the kingdom of God.
