Back from the Beach

Hawaii has nothing on Mozambique! What a beautiful place. The retreat with Rodger, 11 interns, 2 cooks and 5 others of us was so amazing. The investment Rodger is making in these 11 young men is life changing for them. These men came from a life of poverty but, they are being transformed into godly young men who will be future leaders in Mozambique.

During the retreat Rodger covered topics which included; work ethics, leadership skills, communicating God's word, dating, marriage, honesty, integrity and how to share their faith (the Gospel message). The young men were very engaged in every aspect of the retreat. It's so encouraging to see how much these men love and respect Roger. This is probably because many of them do not have fathers and Roger is becoming the father figure in their lives. And, like a father, he definitely challenges them.

It is obvious these young men are just beginning to realize that their future does not have to be mired in poverty. They are learning to be men of God and how to operate a self sustaining business in order to support themselves and their families.
