Christmas in June!


Last month our USA offices shipped a 40 ft container jammed packed with all sorts of goodies. Today, it finally arrived. I arrived back to the base after picking up my western zambia team from the airport to find our main center packed full of couches, tables, chairs, bins, etc. We even got a whole new industrial kitchen shipped over! It was like Christmas had come early!

I'm heading out with my team on Sunday and will be gone until July 3rd, without internet contact. I'll be updating the blog and writing a newsletter when I return. Please keep the team in your prayers as we minister in areas that are in desperate need for the Gospel.

The Whirlwind


They came in like a whirlwind and were gone before I knew it. My June VF Team has officially ended and all 21 of the team members have returned back to their homes. It was an amazing time of ministry, both within the team and in the villages. I saw such an awesome change in the lives of these young adults, as well as within every person we ministered to in Sikachapa Village. My newsletter will be going out tomorrow with photos and testimonies. I also hope to update my website with photos as I go through the thousands (literally!) of photos I received from the team members.

June Vic Falls Expedition Begins!

My team has finally arrived (minus 1 who arrives tomorrow)! Right now I can hear them laughing together on the couches as they get to know one another. 20 people from the USA and UK all united for one purpose: preach the Gospel! How cool is that?! Tomorrow is orientation, seeing victoria falls, and preparing the trucks. On Friday we'll leave for 8 days in the villages. Please pray for us and for the ministry that we'll be doing. I'll update when we return. Blessings!

On The Zambezi

Last week Joe, Jack, Pastor Jeff, and I went out on the zambezi to test out of zodiac raft and to teach me how to drive it. We had some problems with the engine but managed to still take the raft out for a spin. Here are some photos!
