Youngson


One of the great joys of this trip has been the opportunity to meet Youngson. He is our interpreter and doing a fantastic job. His fluency in five languages really helps! Youngson is a missionary from the Malawi BIC helping to plant churches in Moz. He lives with his wife and daughter (pictured at left) in Beira, but travels a lot in the region. In July he will spend 6 weeks in the Pemba area helping to plant churches. You can see that he is highly respected by the youth and does a lot of discipleship teaching with them. People like Youngson are the way God extends his kingdom in Africa. They have plans to develop the church center in Beria to where it will include a clinic and a school. (I am really hopeful that my church can find a way to connect in the future and help with these plans.) If Africa is to stop the AIDS epidemic, it will take an army of Youngson's who teach the youth about the freedom found in Christ.
