Beginning Life Together in Zambia

Beginning Life Together in Zambia


Karen and I would really covet your prayers as we begin married life together seeking to use every opportunity we can to share the love of Jesus with children especially both here and around the world.
After much prayer, we believe the Lord is calling us to start married life together ministering to our Matilda and our children at the Village of Hope in Zambia.

On Oct. 11th, we will be traveling to the Village of Hope in Zambia, looking to do Kidz Klubs Programs with the Hope Club, ministering at the School and to the children in the Village and helping in a new work in Kabwe about 40 minutes away, where the Village of Hope is partnering with the Hamelyrcks, as they minister to handicapped children/orphans.

Oh and there is this cargo container that had been delayed from a place called Delaware, so we’ll be helping with that also and taking many pictures.

Please really pray for us as we seek to go and encourage our brothers and sisters there in Zambia and share the love of Jesus with all we meet.
• Pray for traveling safety and for all luggage to arrive with us and for flights to be on time

• No problems with customs

• Many opportunities to share the Gospel

• We would stay healthy and my leg would not cause problems

• We would be an encouragement to the missionaries there

• Hottest time of year with most “varmints” around, pray for safety

• Safe return on the 23rd and no lingering illnesses as we begin life together here in the States.

• Wisdom as we seek more opportunities to minster to children and orphans here and around the world. (Papua New Guinea too!)

Thank you so much for all your encouragement and prayers, God has blessed so richly and we can’t wait to see what He does next!

Keep shining for Jesus all.

Until Every Child Knows,
Big Jim and Karen
