Update - February 17, 2007

As of today we have six teams of student teachers preparing to work with local congregations while they do their teaching practice May - July. More have come and asked to be assigned, and we are working to find them places. It is exciting to see their enthusiasm and willingness to go wherever they are needed. We are placing a team in each of the high schools that has a student congregation, and we are hoping that will be a big encouragement to those young groups. Please pray for this effort.

The rains have stopped for a few days. The mud is now deep sand. On my trip into town yesterday I had a little excitement when the vehicle fishtailed in one of the sandy spots.

We are leaving today for Cape Town, South Africa. Our missionary friends Brian and Sondra Davis, have asked us to join them for a special evangelism effort there. The Davises worked in Cape Town for ten years before coming to Zambia, so they know the congregations and the needs there. We are looking forward to this opportunity to be with them (they have those adorable little guys Noah and Bryson) and to be part of this work. David will be preaching and teaching and I will teach a ladies' class. We're also going to see some of the sights of Cape Town. We'll be back next Friday.
