DENTAL AND HEALTH CARE
COME OVER INTO MOZAMBIQUE AND HELP US!
We have a Romanian couple, both dentists, joining us full time in April 2009. This dental ministry is backed up by experienced ministry teams. Together we touch the nation in both deed (good works) and Truth (the Word of God)” We also welcome visiting dental teams. Come and bless the people of Mozambique. Your life will never be the same again!
"It is a crime against lost humanity to go in the name of Christ and missions just to do the social work and yet neglect calling men to repent - to give up their idols and rebellion - and follow Jesus Christ with all their hearts. There is nothing wrong with charitable acts but they are not to be confused with preaching the gospel, people may die more educated, better governed and healthier, but they die without Christ and are bound for hell. When God changes the heart and spirit, the physical changes also. If you want to meet the needs of the poor in this world, there is no better place to start than by preaching the Gospel. Could it be that millions are suffering the flames of hell today because we focused on meeting superficial physical needs rather than concentrating on their most basic need?"

MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC
We thank God for the incredible gift of the Mobile Dental Clinic donated to Afrika wa Yesu by Judy Sprague, backed up by Resurrection Fellowship and Help International, all of Colorado, USA. This is an amazing tool for entering the regions beyond with the gospel, prayer and physical care.
Afrika Wa Yesu – MOZAMBIQUE ~ Dental Evangelism
James 2:18 “Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”
Works as well as faith is needed in the devil’s domain. We show our love for the soul by taking care of the body also. People walk long distances to find relief for their pain at our Inhaminga Dental Clinic. Often they are very nervous; never having received professional dental help before. Here at the clinic they receive a warm welcome. The gospel is shared with them and they are prayed for before receiving any treatment. They are always amazed at the mostly painless treatment due to the local anaesthetic and gentle care they are given.

DR. CRISTI AND DR. MONICA OSAN PREPARE FOR AFRICA!
We rejoice in God's faithfulness and the willingness of His people to obey the call to 'Go ye into all the world!' We asked God for a dentist and He is sending us TWO, a married couple, Cristi and Monica from Romania. Pray for them as they prepare for this big transition into Africa and for God to supply all their needs.
Cristi writes..........."For me seeing the pictures and talking about our period in Africa is hard because I have tears in my eyes and a lot of emotions remembering all the things that we have seen there.
God spoke to my heart. I had a lot of nights when I was searching for reasons NOT TO GO in Africa. I was so afraid to think that I will go there with my little boy, and I've said that I can't leave my pretty well paid job and go 12.000 km in Africa, I can help people with dentistry and talk about Jesus in Romania too. But God now is expecting something else from us (me and my family). I remembered one of my favorite verses from the Bible: 2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:). We have made a decision. I am so happy to tell you that we are convinced as family that God is calling us to go to Mozambique for a period of time. From the day that we made this decision to go, my heart is full of peace and joy because I know that I am following God's will. A friend was asking me 2 days ago if I am not afraid to go there, my answer was that now I am more afraid not to go there. It's sure that our little church will sustain us with how much they can, but still it's a lot we need. So we are praying that God will provide us the rest, and I know that he is faithful in this problem too."

HIGHLIGHTS – IN THE BUSH BUSH – The only doctor is the witchdoctor who uses primitive instruments such as home made knives, sharp stones and witchcraft potions. Combining evangelism with Mobile Clinic outreaches is a great way to reach the unreached. We traverse along dirt roads to hidden villages carrying life, love and hope to some of the poorest people in the world.
MASSANDZA – At this small village, (less than an hour’s drive from Inhaminga) the people were unreached and in great darkness. Just a year ago there was no road to this region. It was a closed community of very poor and needy people who were very hesitant to receive help. Here’s why!
“Don’t pull our teeth to give to our dead ancestors!”
Some of the people believed we were after their teeth because their ancestors are demanding their teeth. (Teeth are used for witchcraft practices.) Once the tooth is out, a demon spirit moves into the next tooth. So, not a good idea to have your teeth pulled, once you start you’ll end up with nothing! We did not realize how much we need to educate the people in order to have good results. From now on we are better prepared.
UPDATE………We have now planted a church at Massandza with more than 20 adults (and loads of children) in regular attendance. The people are begging us to bring the Mobile Clinic back so we can treat their teeth!
MAZAMBA - Our book, “Beyond the Shadow”, tells of Mazamba as it was 10 years ago, about the ‘lion spirit’ that supposedly lived in the ruin we were to sleep in. To this same Mazamba we returned with Dr. Roel Bester who left his practice in the UK for a short time to come and help us.
