On the right is a picture of our precious children living at the Village with another 16 on the way. Thank you Jesus.
In a few short hours Karen will be driving me to the airport as the Lord has given me yet another opportunity to go and minister in Zambia.
This trip will be a little different for me as the main purpose is to go for board meetings as we meet together with our Zambian brothers and sisters, seeking Godly wisdom and direction on how best to care for the children both physically and spiritually. Please really bathe us in prayer these next days.
I'll be leaving home at a little before 4 AM Friday and am scheduled to land in Lusaka, Zambia on Saturday at 7:35 AM EST. I would really covet your prayers that I'd make all connecting flights and the luggage, containing many special gifts, would arrive safely with me with no problems in customs. Praying also for traveling safety and physical safety while in country (rainy season-snakes, etc., like to come indoors.)
Please also pray for Karen while I'm away as she holds down the fort here in the States, for God's protection, and for Godly Wisdom and Discernment as she ministers.
This will be our first time apart, and while I'm thrilled to be able to go, I am already missing her and counting the days until we are back together.
In all honesty, I've never had the struggles this intense as we prepare for me to go. God must have something really special planned with all that is coming at both of us.
Please pray for unity and tenderness of heart for all of us.
Praying also for opportunities for me to minister and love our precious children.
I will have limited E-mail access while there, but will keep you up to date as best I can so you can more effectively pray.
Thank you in advance for your prayers.
Have a great day with Jesus all and shine brightly for Him.
I can't wait to see what God does next as we begin 2011 serving Jesus together.
Until Every Child Knows,
