MOPS

The planned start time of MOPS is 10am. I was a little concerned when our first person arrived at 10.15am but we know so well that that is fairly typical here. Anyway, I continued to pray that people would come. The speaker had put a lot of effort into her presentation and I knew it was going to be incredibly beneficial.

It was wonderful to eventually have about 20 there. We continue to get mothers and grandmothers which is great as grandmothers are often very heavily involved in the upbringing of their grandchildren.


It was a very practical morning with lots of examples of things we can do with our kids under different categories e.g. fine motor skills, gross motor skills, mathematics, language. This Thursday we have the second part. Our prayer is that those who were there will go out and encourage their friends to come along. There isn't a direct gospel message in this subject but it is profitable in many ways e.g. interaction of the mothers with their kids, holistic care of the families and trust building.
