TELECONFERENCE APRIL 12

Thank you Lord.   We are now officially on the August Team which means enough people got their applications in to create two different mission groups going to Camp Hope to minister to the orphans in Zambia. Therefore, we now have our specific dates so we can start planning our trip.   This is the schedule:

Les and I will probably leave the mainland July 27^th or 28^th to arrive in Johannesburg and then take a flight to Lusaka. We will probably be staying at the International Hotel near the airport in Lusaka  and then will meet the team at the airport in the evening on August 3^rd, On Saturday the following morning we will be taking a culture walk through the villages and surrounding area. On Sunday, the 5^th we will be attending the local churches and worshiping with the African people that helped to put this together and make it all possible. In the afternoon we will be shopping in the  market place and then go through a time of training.  FROM AUGUST 6-10 will be my most life changing days as we will be at Camp Hope all that week and Les and I will have a group of children and in one week please pray that we can bring them hope,  that they will all come to know who Jesus is and that they can develop a personal relationship with Him no matter how young they are.  We have been told that with all that they give these children, the one thing that really changes their outlook on what they have to go back to, is what is permanent and can never be taken away from them – Jesus Christ. It is the only way I will be able to leave these children – knowing they have a Big Daddy they can turn to. AFTER Camp Hope the following day, August 11^th we will be touring “My Father’s Houses” and Construction Day. We are now working on our 12^th house.  Each house is 800 square feet with three bedrooms – 4 boys in one room, 4 girls in one room, and a room for the Mama.

Every house has solar panels for electric, has running water and bathrooms. Every house has a kitchen but they still teach the children the tribal way with their outside adobe ovens so that they never forget their ways.  On August 12^th we will be going on a safari with the team and on August 13^th we will be saying goodbye to our amazing fellow team members as they head back to the mainland. We will then be continuing on in Africa with Will and Holly and the grandchildren to other parts of Africa. Stay tune to what we will  be planning. 

Soon we will have another teleconference  Thursday, April  19th
