PEOPLE ARE THE TRUE LEGACY
For my wife and I, running an orphanage was never simply a program. It was about building a family, investing our hearts in raising children, and creating relationships that would last far beyond the walls of any facility.
For more than two decades, nearly 200 children came through our gates. There have been beautiful stories and difficult ones, gains and painful losses. That is part of life. We never knew exactly what the future would look like, but we trusted God with the outcome.
Last night, Christina and I took some of the daughters the ones we raised in the orphanage (those who are closer to our region) out for dinner. To me, it felt like just like one more parents daughters outing. Around a table of 14, enjoying our Indian food, I asked them a few simple questions:
1. How is life going—the good and the bad?
2. How is life challenging you?
3. How are you standing through those challenges?
4. What is God doing in your life?
What I thought might take 20 minutes became almost two hours. There were powerful testimonies, tears, laughter, reconciliation, prayer, worship, and deep appreciation for one another.
Looking around the table, I realized that, by God's grace, the little girls we once cared for have become strong women, women with brilliant minds, big dreams, courage, faith, and determination. Some are now mothers raising children of their own.
Some are still completing their training. Others have graduated and are established mother and professionals in different fields.
Buildings grow old, programs eventually end, but PEOPLE ARE THE TRUE LEGACY.
Last night reminded us that we were never simply raising children in an orphanage. We were raising daughters. We were building a family, and more than two decades later, we can see that God was writing a story much bigger than we could have imagined.

WALKING AND DREAMING TOGETHER
Today my wife Christina and I walked through the land, not simply looking at the projects and the work taking shape, but thinking, talking, and sharing what we believe God is placing in each of our hearts—and how those individual impressions can come together as one voice from God to us as one, rather than two.
Our conversation kept returning to the children we see in this community—some walking barefoot, some literally without clothes, and many going to bed hungry. We talked about how we can position ourselves to bring the compassion of Jesus to these children in practical and meaningful ways.
It was a short but very profitable walk. Away from offices and meeting tables, we had space to listen to one another, dream together, and identify practical and exciting possibilities for the future.
What made it especially meaningful was remembering that 11 years ago, we walked through this same land together, through tall grass, talking about many of the same things. There was almost nothing our eyes could see then—only a vision and many questions. At times, we even wondered, “Did we really hear God? Is this truly the next place of transformation?”
Eleven years later, we walked the same land again—and the conversation continues, but now we can see what God has already done.

MERECIDO AND VIRGÍNIA — TWO CHILDREN, TWO STORIES, A NEW BEGINNING
On Sunday, August 23, I experienced one of those moments that is difficult to put into words. As I watched Merecido and Virgínia unite their lives in marriage, so many years came back to my mind—years of struggles, many tears, but also many victories. My heart was filled with gratitude and joy.
Merecido lost his biological father at a very young age. His mother, facing great difficulties in caring for him and his siblings, allowed him to come and live with us at the Evanjáfrica Orphanage. From that time on, I had the privilege of watching him grow—from a little boy into a young man, and from a young man into the responsible man he is today. Now, Merecido has taken Virgínia as his wife, and together they are beginning a new chapter—building a life together.
Virgínia came to us when she was 7 years old, following a family tragedy. Her mother lost her life when their house collapsed during the rainy season. The accident also deeply affected her biological father, leaving him, at that time, unable to care for her. That is how Gínia came into my life.
Throughout all these years, I have had the privilege of watching her grow, study, mature, and become the woman she is today. And last Sunday, her biological father and I had the privilege of giving her away in marriage to Merecido.
To God alone be all the glory, honor, and worship forever.

WHEM EVEN THE NOISES HAVE GONE TO SLEEP
When He speaks with that voice that reaches deep into your soul—the voice that keeps you awake even at one in the morning, trying to sort it all out, wrestling with yourself and with Him.
When your mind feels too small to comprehend what He is showing you, and your abilities seem unable to measure up to what He is calling you to do—you are left with no sleep and no other option but to continue surrendering to Him.

BRINGING ELECTRICITY TO NAPHARE
This morning, I had the privilege of meeting with community elders, traditional leaders, and other influential members of Naphare to share news they have been waiting to hear for a lifetime.
For the very first time, electricity is coming to Naphare.
As we gathered, I sketched simple maps on the ground and shared a vision of how we can prepare our community for the opportunities that development will bring. We also discussed the future needs of Naphare, including security. Together with the community leadership, we will formally request the government to establish a police station to help maintain public order as our community continues to grow.
One moment touched my heart deeply. One of the elders, now in his seventies, stood and said, "I was born here, I grew up here, and I have never experienced electricity." Then he asked everyone present to applaud. It was impossible not to be moved.
Seeing their joy reminded me that true development is about people, hope, and a better future.
My prayer is that the light brought to Naphare through electricity will also reflect the Light of Christ in every home and every heart.
To God alone be all the glory, honor, and praise

Our Boys Are Coming Home! 🇲🇿
What a joy to celebrate Adolfo, Morgado, and Edwil as they graduate from their Discipleship Training School program!
Their journey has taken them through training in Lusaka, Zambia, followed by practical ministry and church-planting experience in Tanzania and Malawi. Now, after this incredible season of learning, serving, growing, and sharing the Gospel, they are ready to return home to Mozambique for the next chapter of their lives.
They are coming home not only as trained and passionate soul winners, but also with a strong command of English and valuable cross-cultural experience.
We sent out young men to be trained, and we welcome back young men who have grown in faith, knowledge, confidence, and purpose
