Zambia is Wonderful

Just a little word to tell you of the wonder of Lusaka Zambia.
This place is like a magnet. Many people are drawn here to
do many things. We met two women on the plane from Jo'burgh
to Lusaka to help a pastor and church with their work with people
effected with HIV/AIDS. They together raised $12,000.00 for the
pastor to buy 23 arces of land to build an orphanage for children.

These two senior citizens were an inspiration to me as they showed
me a copy of an article written about them. They are busy on this
trip with details regarding their ministry.  They are Australian Baptist
who have a passion to bring the love of Christ to people who are hurting.
Marg and Dawn are drawn to Zambia like a magnet draws metal. They
are a wonder that I wish you could have the opportunity to meet.

Pray that God would use you today that you might be a wonder to
those around you. Make a difference in the lives of others as the
chance presents it's time.

Friday July 23, 2010 - Today we faced pain, eye ball to eye ball.
The lord allowed us to meet some really awesome children today.
The were taught in a large church building with a new roof. It was
a blessing as the older children sang three heart wrenching songs.
They showed us team building exercises that showed how they trusted
one another.

These are just snippets of God's work in Zambia. I have some video
to share at a later time. Please keep praying for us. Please ask God
for wisdom for us.
