Everyday Hero

Wayne Biggs is the head American cook on the medical mission, second in command to Leonard Sichimwa. Wayne hails from our home congregation in Austin and was a good friend even before he made his first trip to Zambia in 2005. Wayne has worked in the restaurant business and has an intuitive feel for portion sizes and how much of this and that to add to make something taste just right. He also loves the Zambian people and they love him. Wayne's wife, Janie, is a hero in my book just as much as Wayne is. Janie has some serious health problems and has difficulty getting out of the house without Wayne to help her. It's a great sacrifice for her to let him go off to Africa for two weeks. Those of us who enjoy the good food during the medical mission are very grateful for Wayne and Janie and their willingness to serve the Lord.
