Mozambique
Tracey Williams is the daughter of George and Sylvia. Her adult life has been spent doing God’s work as a missionary, first in Brazil for five years, near the source of the River Amazon and now working for the IRIS Minsitry’s Zimpeto Children’s Centre in Mozambique, which is affiliated to the Evangelical Free Churches of America.
The centre caters for about 500 children who are either orphans or whose parent’s can no longer care for them. In particular, Tracey works with babies and very young children.
The children often arrive at the centre in a very bad way and Tracey and her colleagues work hard to help the little ones recover their health and to develop.
Tracey came to see her parents in August 2007 and took some time to show a slide presentation of her work. There were some heartwarming stories with before and after pictures of the little ones. Sadly, however, they cannot save all the children that come to them and some have died.
Tracey’s work is made all the more difficult by the uncertain political situation in Mozambique and the vagaries of the weather which has led to widespread flooding in recent months.
La Siesta Evangelical Church supports Tracey with prayers and as well as financially. Please do keep Tracey, her colleagues at the centre and especially the children in your prayers.
An update is regularly published in the Church Newsletter which is available to download from this site.
