New Year Celebration

On Saturday, Mavuno threw a New Year’s Celebration. The Lord really helped us out. It was raining all day, but about an hour before the celebration started, it cleared up, and He gave us sunny skies; when it was over, He let it rain again. It was a good chance to get acquainted with the local villagers of Kitongo. Pop and Mandazis (an African doughnut) were served by the Mavuno staff. Dan, Marco, and Malucha got a chance to explain Mavuno, and what our purpose is. John Mbugua preached a short sermon of the gospel. Afterwards the Jesus film in Kisakuma was shown. Overall it was a great chance to get to know our neighbors, fellowship with each other, and share the gospel message!

Praise:
Our water crisis is now over, thank- you so much for praying. Dan was able to buy a new pump, and yesterday filled all of the water tanks!

Pili

This week, God blessed Mavuno with a new on-campus child. Pili is a 4 year old little girl. We received her from a baby home in Mwanza called Forever Angels. The Mbugua family is now a family with 9 children. Please pray for Pili as she adjusts to her new family, and is introduced to God's love. Also continue praying for the Mbugua family as their family expands. John and Milka are doing an amazing job with their children. It's been a blessing to be able to watch the children change as the Mbuguas nurture them with God's love.

Pump Problems

Please pray for Mavuno’s current situation with our pump. An accident has left it out of service. We are starting to run low on water and we need to find a way to fill up the water tanks. Please pray that we will be able to find a new pump, or we can fix our pump soon.
