Mozambique Gift A special gift of $10,000 was given by a Bethel member; designated to "Medical.Health Care" at Chongoene. This is being used to address health issues for orphans and medical expenses for the Pastor. The Source of Life project will support orphans, vulnerable individuals and HIV/AIDS victims with $4,800 of the gift. This is being divided into four funding phases of $1,200 each.
