Dear Friends of Orphans Unlimited:

Below is our “ Christ­mas gift list” for our kids in Mozambique.

Giv­ing a Christ­mas gift to a rel­a­tive or friend that ben­e­fits an orphan in Mozam­bique brings great joy to the child, and helps your fam­ily expe­ri­ence the true mean­ing of Christ­mas. Giv­ing a gift that brings life to another is what Jesus is all about.

 

If you’d like to sur­prise a fam­ily mem­ber with a gift/s to the orphans in Mozam­bique, then send a card or small pack­age to them with a note inside telling your loved one that a gift of a “_________” has been given in their name to the orphans in Mozambique.

Below is our wish list with gifts of all sizes.

OUR CIRCUIT RIDING PROFESSOR URGENTLY NEEDS NEW BIKE:

 

Evan­ge­list Alberto Pes­sute trav­elled 4,500 miles (7500 km) as a cir­cuit rider teacher on his 50 cc motor­bike this year in order to teach 3 Bible Schools (100+ stu­dents) and start the 2 churches in Namuno county. He just called to ask for emer­gency help, as his motor bike “bit the dust” about 9 miles (15Km) out in the bush as he was com­ing back from teach­ing at one of our bush churches today. We knew the bike was near it’s limit, but had hopes that it would last through Decem­ber when the Bible School year was over and the 2 Namuno churches were able to be inde­pen­dent of his teachings.

$750 is needed to pro­vide him with a new bike so Teacher Alberto can wrap up his teach­ing year.
