zambia.teamHi Everyone:
Our day started early this morning. We headed out at 6am to go to Frances Davidson High School. We went with a team from World Hope International Zambia with the Reach4Life leaders. Reach4Life is a High School ministry that teaches purity and abstinence. Our job was to teach the leaders from the school so they could lead the others.
Richman, the director of Reach4Life came over last night and mentioned that we were responsible for half of the teaching. Tom Meyer took charge and planned the program. He did a fantastic job of teaching the students!
At the end we shared what a big job leadership is and we prayed individually with each student. We affirmed their decision to lead and prayed for any special needs they had. The Reach4Life program is incredible. They have a great book they use. It is a Reach4Life Bible with all of the lessons they use. It is done in small groups for 40 weeks.
They will be having a rally in two weeks back in Macha where they will kick off the Reach4Life groups in 2 local high schools. A team from Kentwood Community Church and Micah Kephart will provide support for the rally.
Thank you again for your prayers, support and responses to the blog. It has been an important part of what happened here this week. We will be leaving for Livingstone tommorrow. We will take on the role of tourist for a day. We will be checking out Victoria Falls and some of the other sites and stay there overnight. Then Saturday we will get up and start the long journey home. I hope that we will get one more chance to blog before we start the journey. If not, we will see you when we get home! We love and miss you all!!!

Wow – How awesome the way God has used each and every one of you. May God use this to increase His passion in us and through us, showing each part He wants us to be involved in.
Can’t wait to see you all again – Godspeed!
What an amazing mission you’ve accomplished in the short period of time that you’ve been given. The people of Maambo are truly blessed to have had their lives touched by you in so many special ways. Your compassion, your generosity and your devotion to a community of people who live an ocean away from your own front door speaks volumes about who you are, and the direction your life has taken.
I pray that you’re surrounded and blessed by the Lord’s amazing love as you begin your long journey home. You deserve this and more in return for what you’ve done for the vulnerable human and spiritual lives you’ve cared for during the past week.
It sounds like you are getting alot accomplished and are having a great time. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and looking forward to hear the stories and see the pictures from your trip when you get back. Karla
