“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven.” Matthew 5:16 

I am so excited to serve in Zambia in the upcoming weeks and ask for you to pray for our hearts to be opened and for our lives to be changed throughout our time in Africa. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for following and supporting our journey!

"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, and according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly that all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church, in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen." Ephesians 3:14-21 

Going with the verse, my prayer is that Christ will dwell in the hearts of everyone on our team and everyone we encounter, and that we and everyone we meet will be strengthened by the Spirit, understand the riches of God’s love for them, and that we will all experience His power to do abundantly more than we could ever ask or imagine.

Mulishani from Zambia!

We woke to our first Zambian sunrise this morning. After a deep breath of African air we laid our eyes upon the vibrant red dirt that featured prominently on our inaugural day in Ndola and at Northrise University. The students were eager sponges today despite their tremendous jetlag.   Our day was filled with touring the community and the school; meeting those with whom we will work; and preparing for that work.   We soaked up the sights, sounds, smells, customs, and language of this place and began trying to create some order of it all.    I loved hearing the constant questions and observations from our students as they aimed to understand this new world. The students were drawn to children like magnets at each stop in the community and are anticipating our return to serve them.  Lori and I found such great joy in watching our students engage with the children.    We visited three schools for orphans and vulnerable children in the com...
