"WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE, SWEET CHILD"

“We are changing your lives!”
Over and over these words swirled in my mind and my heart.

About four hours ago I was at the Nkobe, Mozambique CarePoint with Daran Rehmeyer, Atlanta area Pastor Troy Shaw and his son Matthew, and their friends John Sparks and his grandson Josh.

We were showing these guests the progress on the construction of the Healing Place Church Melancon Chapel and the CarePoint where hundreds of needy kids are fed everyday.

Four-year-old Isabella bounced by. Some of you have seen her picture in our publications. She has the most infectious smile—and she has totally captured my heart.

A year ago when this project was but a dream Isabella was one of the first kids I met on the site.

Her smile, her eyes, and her hopeful looks at me became the symbol of Nkobe to me.

I remember looking into her eyes and promising her in English—she didn’t understand the words but she seemed to understand my meaning, “We are going to change your life, sweet child.”

And we are.

For a year she has had enough food, loving care and good news about Jesus that her little life is already so very different.

For her and more than 200 other precious little ones.

If you could see them now your heart would be ready to burst with joy like mine is right now.

Thank you dear friends that have helped make this happen.

In a few weeks the church will be ready and watch what happens to Nkobe then!
