At Samfya and Work Underway!

Scenes along the way!

Donald with Musonda's wife Maggie

Well we arrived in Samfya at 9:30pm on Wednesday after having problems with transport. A brother by the name of Musonda stepped in and drove us up. We met his wife who is studying at The Theological College of Central Africa, who shared a story of how she had been convicted at a session that I preached in a number of years ago and she renewed her commitment to serving the Lord in a Christian girls college! The Word of the Lord when proclaimed has all sorts of applications – it never returns void.

Today has been an orientation day around the Bible School and the surrounding area. However Brad was itching to get underway with the new fence and so, in the of the afternoon, clearing away a temporary fence began until proceedings were halted by a nasty prickle vine that creates severe itching. That kind of work can only be done early in the morning when the plant does not release its nasty itches! An excellent amount was achieved, and we have a good plan of where we are heading with this project.

Tomorrow will see more fence work, acquiring of sand and metal and cement for the fence post concrete, meetings for Donald with Bible School staff, and planning of the weekend visit to Kasuba for leadership training and encouragement. We value your prayers as we settle in and try and get over the jet lag! p.s. there is little or no power – cooking and boiling drinking water over charcoal – oh the joys of Zambia!
