Dear Ones,
God has made a big change in Mission With a Vision (MWAV) this year. For 6 years we have walked and prayed and ministered in
Amsterdam. We have witnessed the salvation of many there and seen the removal of one third of the red light district. As we walked
away, it was still dwindling. We were able to witness the city electing Christian council members to improve the culture of the city. It is
said that all things must come to an end and God has now ended our time in Amsterdam. He has ended our presence, but our prayers
will always be with Amsterdam, as well as any other place God takes us.
For those who may be coming to this site for the first time, MWAV began and always will have the mission of praying over the nations and
we will continue doing just that. Wherever we happen to be, we will always walk the land and claim the land and the people for Jesus
Christ. As we walk, we will always let Jesus light shine through us in love for our fellow man. Finally, if God directs, we will be obedient to
share the gospel with those He directs us to. It’s funny and quite exciting to see what happens when you get close to God and just
listen to Him every day. After awhile you begin walking with the Holy Spirit and you are directed to do things you might not ordinarily do.
That is what has happened with us, and we are excited to share our experience with you.
God is taking MWAV into a new path. We are now traveling between Belize, Central America and Jerusalem, Israel. This may seem like
quite a contrast, but it is for a single purpose worldwide. God used us to help out single mothers years ago, but now that is our main
focus. At this time we are helping single mothers in the United States as well as Belize and Jerusalem. We feel that God will have us help
these women worldwide.
Our transition has been quite informative. We began working in the food kitchens in Jerusalem. God put Sandy Shoshani of Be’ad Chaim
in our path. Sandy is dedicated to the protection of mothers and unborn babies in Jerusalem. She has wonderful stories of babies saved
and has a calendar featuring a baby a month that has been saved through her ministry.
It can be heard around the world that people are aborting babies because of the lack of money. Around the world many women are
weeping because they can’t have babies. They would give anything to have the babies that are being aborted. Please pray that a way is
found to bring these two together without a financial burden on either.
We are in the Orange Walk area of Belize (not an area of Belize that people talk about or use for their vacation spots). We are partnering
there with another group as well. The Orange Walk area is a very poor area. In the first village we visited, out of 3000 people, with
widows, there were 100 single moms.
Our first experience was with a family in which the father had left the mother for another woman. There were three children. We
looked into the eyes of one of the girls and she was despondent. After speaking with the mother, we found that girl was particularly
close to her father, and when he left, she shut down. The doctors had taken x-rays and found that her mind was half shut down. We
sat down to pray for her and by the time we left there was much more life in her eyes. We left them with some books God put on our
hearts to take, called Promise books. They were written in Spanish. We wrote Jeremiah 29:11 on the front. We told them that God
put dreams in them. We told them of a story of some ladies in Africa who started a new clothing line-an idea God had given to them.
They are selling the clothes around the world. We told them God puts dreams in hearts and they need to remember the dreams and
write them down. The lady who was helping us out, Jessica, continued helping them. She went online and found that there were
grants for single moms and they were not being used so the grants were being taken for other things. She is now helping them get
some of that grant money. Jessica will be the one who helps these people out on a daily basis. We will be there twice a year for 6 to 7
weeks to give help and support to Jessica. We will come in and do Christian motivational type seminars for them. We are working with a
humanitarian group named Storehouse Mission in Belize, in addition to establishing the single mother groups there. We plan to have one in
each village, and we are letting each group come up with their own name. We can’t wait to share the stories on that.
The funds given to this ministry are used in so many ways. Not only do we need financial support to get us to these countries and sustain
us while we are there, but we hope to one day be able to take the money from our ministry to lift up and help the people to whom we
are partnering. Many people have quit giving to small organizations and only give to the large organizations. The small ones (such as the
two we have mentioned), who are doing such great things for the Kingdom, are suffering as a result. We want to let you know how
very much we appreciate your helping us in your funding. Even the smallest trinket of hope, such as these books give them hope that
there will be better days ahead. May God bless you abundantly. May He pour out one hundred fold return on your investment in
spreading the gospel of the Word to those who might not otherwise receive it and give them hope in our LORD Jesus Christ. Thank you.
God Bless You,
David and Rita
