A Jon Post<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome to 2011. Sorry this post didn\u2019t make it up on the weekend. Hopefully our loyal readership doesn\u2019t abandon us for our lateness.
\nSo 2010, huh? What a year! And 2011? Lots coming our way I think!
\nIn 2010 we moved into Mozambique with bright eyes, hopeful hearts and a lot of determination. We wanted to see the Kingdom of God brought here to Maputo and to the hospital. We set our hearts on being a hand to hold in last days, and being a smiling face in painful ones.
\nIn 2010 our daughter started her journey into our lives.
\nThere were a lot of bold, fearless moments, many successes.
\nAnd there were failures, broken hearts, breathless lungs, and tear-streaked faces.
\nIn 2010 we\u2019ve learned to find and see the Lord in the little victories and miracles along the way.<\/p>\n

(January) Layne\u2019s time with Emilia right up until and through her passing.<\/p>\n

(January) My time with Joaquim, the first good friend I made here who died in the hospital.<\/p>\n

(January-June) God\u2019s providence in moving us to Angola, then His peace and voice in our move back to Mozambique.<\/p>\n

(June) Our daughter.<\/p>\n

(July) Reading the Bible with Jos\u00e9 Manuel the day before his death<\/p>\n

(July) Sharing Christ with many by bringing the World Cup to the big screen in small villages<\/p>\n

(August) Precious Sandra, being able to be with her daughter in northern Mozambique in her last days instead of a hospital bed.<\/p>\n

(October) Dear friend Sabu, going home to his family.<\/p>\n

(November) 13-year-old Marcelino who loved our daughter so much, prayed for her, asked how she was every time he saw us. Even up until the day he died.<\/p>\n

(December) A hug from Tom\u00e9 and a kiss from L\u00facia<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

A Kiss from L\u00facia<\/p><\/div>\n

A Hug from Tom\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

These are just a few of the little victories and miracles we\u2019ve seen this year. They have often been surrounded by pain, but that\u2019s our ministry.
\nWe kinda like it.
\nHappy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
