John Zephania


Mavuno has recently received a new off-campus child named John Zephaniah. He was discovered at a bus wreck site near Magu, and one of the surviving passengers took him to the police station the following day. Social Welfare requested that Mavuno take care of him until his family could be located. He was placed with a wonderful couple in the Magu district.

John is around the age of two and his new parents had the pleasure of naming him because no known name was found. He cannot talk, is not potty trained, but can walk.

Social Welfare could not find his biological parents so he now legally belongs to Mavuno. We praise God that he can grow up in a good Christian home.


Rainy Season Arrives!


Helena and Mariam go for a run

The rains have finally come! We are enjoying the humidity and the green scenery. The villagers’ gardens are doing well and there is fresh grass for the cows. With the rains the animals are emerging in abundance. The chameleons, hedgehogs, snakes, scorpions, and bugs frequently enter our houses. This, too, provides newfound excitement for rainy season!

Please pray that it would continue to rain so that the villagers’ newly planted crops can grow well this year, after a long period of little harvesting.
