Hi Everyone:

Thank  for your prayers!  48 hours after we took of from Grand Rapids we have arrived at Guest House at the offices of World Hope International-Zambia.  This is where we will stay evenings for the duration of our trip.

We had an uneventful flight from Johannesberg, SA to Livingstone, Zambia.  Dave Waters picked us up for the 2 hour drive to Guest House.  As we were crossing a railroad track about  a quarter of the way there, we blew out our transmission on our mini-van.   This gave us an opportunity to meet many local children, give them suckers, and talk with them.  Soon a vehicle arrived to tow us to Nimbia, a nearby city.  From there we grabbed another van to Guest House.

A great dinner was ready when we arrived, where Dave and his wife Beth briefed us on our upcoming week.  We have unpacked and spent some time in prayer and devotion.

Pray for our team as we gather building materials tommorrow to roof the teachers home in Maambo and make our plans to finish the project started several years ago.  Pray for Kris as she finalizes her Sunday message.  Pray for Tom and Regan as they prepare to teach the Sunday school class this Sunday.

We see our mission more clearly now.  It is to share God’s hope and love to a beautiful people who have suffered greatly.
