AURORA MISSIONARY ACTION – AMA
TCHUMA TCHATO PROJECT
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TFI

NEWS LETTER 01/2014-15 – 20140930_TT2014/15_NL01

Dear friends, after several months recuperating from the *accident where I broke a leg, still on crutches but the mission field is calling for me.

It is stronger the calling than the desire to stay and solve this misfortune of mine. But I trust that, like the verse says; “as they went they were healed” (Luke 17:14), so it will also be with me.

Date for travelling is set for November 29th God willing.

The famine which has affected many, to us and the Project it was no exception. The “From Shack To Bricks,” Initiative, which 1st stage was finished in 2013, in 2014 the progress was quite slow as we already brought out in previous news.

We would like this time to offer something more, together with our presence on the mission field, but it also depends on the good will of this Project’s friends, in helping according to their possibilities.

As usual the appointed time for this missionary/humanitarian service will have the duration of 7 months, in which we will strive to be a positive force in the community, be it at the humanitarian level and, no less important, the spiritual level.

Thanks to God and the specialized care of the Physiotherapy treatments at “Santa Casa da Misericórdia,” I’m already giving baby steps sort of speak. I hope that the next doctor’s appointment, the 7th of this month, I will be given permission to set aside one of the crutches.

After reading this, and after prayer, if the Lord tells you to donate to this cause,
