News and Notes - July 9

We added one more person to our house yesterday, making a total of twelve under our roof. One more is stuck in Johannesburg and should arrive today. Richard Prather and David are the only males in the group and are feeling very outnumbered.

Here is a snapshot of some of the things that happened in or around our house the past few days. In the living room I have been sewing a new curtain for the children's ministry puppet stage. This thing is made of three double bed sheets, so it's huge. Michele Broadway has been on the computer working on curriculum for the children's ministry. On the veranda we have had anywhere from one to three people at a time on laptops checking e-mails or working on projects from home that have to be completed during the next couple of weeks. In the back yard some workers have been doing laundry by hand for our group. Our 12 "residents" have been in and out as they go about their tasks on campus. Several meetings have been held in the living room or on the veranda. It's a happening place around here!

Today (Sunday) there will be several groups of medical mission team members going out to village congregations. We think this will be a highlight of their visit to Zambia as they interact with the gracious Zambian people in a worship service.

Monday afternoon we will leave for the first set of clinics. We'll be out in the bush camping in tents until we return late on Thursday night. Please pray for our efforts this week and we try to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the Zambian people.
