Mothers in Mozambique Matching Money!

The ministry we are planning will focus on widows, single women who are desperately trying to raise their children on their own. 

We have some very exciting news that a matching gift is being offered and we are calling it Mothers in Mozambique, as the matching money is being given in honor of the donors' mothers. So it's only appropriate that our Mothers in Mozambique matching campaign will end on the day that honors these very women: Mother's Day (May 11, 2014). 

Consider joining us to honor not only your mother, but mothers in Mozambique. Give your mother the gift that will impact another mother's life!

What will this money be used for? It will be used to purchase land that will be the start of our widows ministry. We have made a down payment on one piece of property, but we still owe about $2,000. Properties are also available on each side of this land and we are hoping to purchase at least one of them.

We are estimating that each piece of land would cost somewhere between $4,000 and $6,000. That is the hard thing about buying land here, the prices aren't firmed up until you have at least some cash in hand. And there is no signing of a contract of any sorts until you have a good chunk of cash in hand.

Nunu has been traveling out to the land each week as we are building a fence around the property. He is also gaining the respect of the land owners and hoping he can put a down payment on a second piece of property even before paying off the first.

Our goal is to raise $6,000 to match the money that has been offered. This will ensure us a piece of land that measures 138'x 234' plus enough money to either buy still more land  or begin building on the land we already have.

We want to buy as much land as we can as soon as we can because oil was recently discovered offshore here and speculators are beginning to drive up the price of land. We want to have enough land to raise chickens and goats and to grow fruits and vegetables. We also will need a place for us to live and for volunteers to stay.

We are so excited at the possibilities that this land and ministry will bring. If you have any questions, we would love to answer them.
