Zambia 2011

Hi everyone! We've been going non-stop since arriving in Zambia on Saturday.  Sunday morning we went to an awesome church service in Chaisa. Worship started with music of course! There were 6 different choirs. One of our very own team members delivered the message. Throughout the service we were able to pray and interact with others in the congregation. We've shown the Jesus Film 3 times with amazing results. Today we assembled and dedicated the ARK (portable tent) and the location for the new Ten Mile Church of the Nazarene. There were hundreds of people there from the new church. They've been meeting under a tree nearby since February and are very excited to have church in their new "building". The daytime temperature has been perfect-around 80 degrees with a slight breeze. But at night for the Jesus Film showings it is in the high 50's. Dressing in layers is a necessity. Tomorrow we leave Lusaka and head toward Livingstone. We will be showing the Jesus Film at a church that is already established but is looking for growth. Our team consists of 38 members from several different states as well as a team of 7 youth from Olivet Nazarene University. We also joined forces last night with a team of youth from Chicago! WOW! Everyone has been wonderful to work with. The last 2 days have been spent on prayer walks. We are led throughout an area by a translator who knows the area and the people. We pray for their needs and 2 groups of medical personnel give basic medical care and nutrition kits.

Hi all! Here is a brief explanation of how the mileage sponsorship works. There is a registration form on our site that you can print out. Fill it in, tear off the bottom, and mail it with your check to the church (Ephrata Church of the Nazarene 110 Durlach Rd. Ephrata PA 17522). If you would like your name posted  on our website as a sponsor, just circle YES on your form. Each mile costs $1, so if you send us $50, you just sponsored 50 miles. OK? You may sponsor as many miles as you would like...1...10...100...1000! Go for it! And thank you so much for your support. 7 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!! I'm not done packing yet!

5/12/11 The funds for the ARK have come in! We'll be taking a portable tent system with us that will allow the Jesus Film teams to have a shelter that can be used during the day for medical clinics/classrooms/etc. and at night it can be used for showings of the Jesus Film.

5/6/11 Our visas have arrived! This will allow us to leave Zambia and go to Botswana. Only 33 days until we leave. Meeting tonight to see if there's anything we've forgotten!
