Moldova Visit

It was great to visit Moldova earlier this month and meet with partners there, see their ministries and spend time with the people involved. The visit was organised by Sarah Harcharran from Breadline through whom we channel some of our support for Moldova. The visit was so inspiring to see the way in which God is using the different ministries to reach out to their communities in different ways and, in particular, helping those in great need. The main purpose was to visit Emanuel Clinic. We have been involved in their Mobile Clinic ministry for some time so it was exciting to see one in action. This video will give you a flavour of it.

The other project that we have recently been involved with is the Home Care Project. You will have heard about that when we shared about the work they are doing with those who are coming to the end of their lives, who often live on their own in terrible conditions and unable to get out. The Home Care team do an amazing work caring for these people and the video shows you a little of what the work involves.

When you visit a country there is often an opportunity to see other projects and expand your understanding of what is happening there. It was great to be able to see the work of The Charity Mission - providing education and support for mentally disabled children - and The Lord's Army - providing care and education for Ukrainian refugees

Visit to see Charity Mission

One thing I always like to do when I am in another country is go to church. You learn so much from worshipping God in a different culture. I had the great privilege to be given the opportunity to preach in the church at Dancu on the Sunday I was there. The church there is involved in lots of different ministries and I was able to visit a number of homes, tour the cheese factory, sample the food from the bakery/cafe, stay in the new centre that hosts conferences and the club for children living with disability and enjoyed a couple of runs.

If you want to hear more about the visit then please let us know as we would love to join you in person or online to give you more details and specific points for prayer.

Visit to Ireland

Last month it was great to meet up with various partners on a short visit to Northern Ireland. I was able to get an update on the work at Kiwoko Hospital and from Africare on their disability ministry, both working in Uganda. I was kindly hosted by Melvin & Sharon Kelly so heard more of the work of Somos Nos in Mozambique - you can hear more too as they are sharing at our next prayer gathering - see below. It was, also, an opportunity to see and understand the work of Missionary Container Service Trust as we explore how we might work together in the future in supporting the work in Zambia.

MMN Prayer Event

Our next prayer event is coming up on Monday 12th May at 7.30pm where we'll be hearing from Melvin and Sharon Kelly about the work of Somos Nos in Mozambique. We would love you to join us for the evening if you can - details for joining the call are below: Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 897 252 5712 Passcode: 881078

Project Focus

Our project focus this month is Shining Star in Zimbabwe who offer support to women to try and remove them from sex work and show them they are deeply valued by God. The team work to educate communities about HIV/AIDS while offering free tests, and provide vocational training so women can leave the sex trade and learn new skills to get a different source of income.

Electives

We've received some wonderful reports from our medical students who have recently returned from doing their electives in a mission hospital. Read about how Hannah got on at Tansen Mission Hospital in Nepal here, and read about Lauren's experience at Kiwoko in Uganda here.

Please be praying for Emily, Alexandra and Olivia who are heading overseas this month for their electives - that God would use this time to encourage them in their faith and that their medical skills would be a blessing to the countries they are visiting.
