Profile of the Week


RO in MO
serving by sharing

About a month ago, the OMS team in Mozambique had yet another visitor join the ranks for a time. Her name was Ro. She was a computer teacher from the UK. Her focus was to update old computers, assemble new computers, and connect them all to a network in CAM's brand new computer lab. She came. She conquered. And she left yesterday.

Ro came to serve God, and she did it by sharing with others. She shared computer skills, teaching tips, and much, much more! The impact she left extended far from flat-screen monitors and keyboards. She touched the hearts of students, teachers, workers, missionaries, and Mozambicans, alike. Her greatest influence on me was during a weekend we shared together on the beach in Xai-Xai with three other missionaries.

Gary and Diane Gray took Ro, Kyla, and myself on a weekend getaway to a beautiful coastline city three hours north of Maputo. Our goal was to take a deep breath of fresh air before being slammed with the beginning of school. We lapped up every minute!

The majority of our time was spent relaxing on the sand, and watching the ocean breathe waves in and out. I saw the idleness as a perfect opportunity to discuss the meaning of life. :) From before the time the sun shot over the horizon to after it dipped beyond the treeline behind us, I pestered Ro and Kyla with questions about God's will, human desires, and destiny. They kept responding, so the questions kept coming. :) It was great! And their responses were powerful.

Myself, Kyla, & Ro unveiling the sun together:


Sunday morning was met with a sunrise communion service on the beach. Ro shared her testimony with the group, which left me in awe at God's redemptive love. There were many moments that I will long remember with Ro, but that service on the beach stands unrivaled. During the short time she was with us, I was challenged by her faith; encouraged by her testimony; and blessed by her heart for serving others. These are three reasons Roselyn Moore is the profile of the week.

God bless her, and God bless you!

  1. You know, calling it "profile of the week" is sorta deceiving since you don't update weekly. ;) But, it's cool! Ahhh.. I can't believe you went to Xai Xai without me!!! But I'm glad you had a good time! Praying for you partner!

  2. Yeah, I don't have as much time to blog as I anticipated. Of THAT week, Ro took the cake. How about that? Thank you for the prayers, partner!
