BUTLER KIDS DONATED “ KIDS” FOR OUR KIDS!

The Sunday School Children of First United Methodist Church in Butler, PA heard our plea for goats and ducks for our orphans in Mozambique.
They surprised me last Sunday with a check that will buy 64 goats and 50 ducks!
They even had LIVE GOATS on stage with me as they presented the check!

I asked the Lord last Sept. to help me expand our goat herd to 100 goats, and He’s making it happen.
At present we have 10 adult goats in Balama which have produced 7 new baby goats since last September.
Since December, nine goats were donated by individual sponsors.
Thanks to these generous donations, we can now expand our herd to 90 goats!

These goats and ducks will serve as our breeders to provide “starter herds” for our older orphans living in remote villages.
Those orphans interested in raising goats or ducks will attend a training class to learn how to properly care for and market these animals.
Goat meat and duck eggs/meat are in high demand in Mozambique, making this a very profitable way for our orphans to make a living.

THANK YOU to all of you who have made this goal a reality!

BUSH BUNNY FLYS TO AFRICA ON APRIL 3RD.


I’m still traveling around TX these next 2 weeks, as well as packing 300+ lbs of luggage for Africa.
Your love gifts have provided us with badly needed medications, vitamins, and audio Bibles that will bless the multitudes of children we serve each year.
How do I get it all over there?
Some of the visitors listed below will bring an extra suitcase that I have pre-packed for them.
That way there is no extra cost for transport.


2 MIGHTY WOMEN OF GOD ANSWER GOD’S CALL

TWO women will join us this spring who have given long term commitments.
Both will begin management and children’s ministry training upon their arrival.

Leona Phillips from South Africa joins us April 13th, and brings with her an executive administrative background and a true heart for Jesus and missions.
Lynn Heddleson, Canton, Ohio, an experienced short term missionary with a love for Jesus, brings with her a career in management and teaching, as she trains men and women to drive city buses.
Both young ladies will need your prayers for accelerated cultural and language learning, as they tackle the Portuguese language as well as the Moz. culture.

FOOD BUYING TEAM FOR MAY AND JUNE


God has provided a powerful team of experienced people to help us move 550+ TONS of corn and beans this year.
We plan to enlarge our processing team, making it possible to sack and stack 40 tons a day vs. our 25 tons/day last year.

Don Hitsman from Michigan, an experienced missionary who supervised the barns for us last year.
Kaylan Vollmering, experienced short term missionary, graduate of TX A&M, and current RN student at Concordia Un. In Austin, TX.
David Abel, experienced missionary and Agronomy student at Kansas State, Un.
Bryce Vaughn, AFA council member and Agricultural student at Nebraska Un.

We are very excited to work with this awesome team of people who will arrive in mid May to help us fill the barns for 2012.

Blessings,
Bush Bunny Brenda
