Greetings from Choma. This past week we have been working at Salvation Baptist Church (that Mr. Chambers and Arthur pastor over). We have been preparing the grounds for the children’s camp we will be hosting Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The pastor said we should anticipate more than 100 children for each session (we’ll have to sessions each day). The past few days, we have been flattening land for a volleyball court, picking maize from the fields, slashing down the weeds, and painting part of the church. We were able to finish everything needing done at the church.
This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we’ll staying at the farm while we make preparations for the camps. About half of the programing has been written, so that will need to be finished up. Then we’ll be training a few of our team and our translators how to lead group games and debrief.
As a team, we are currently memorizing 2 Tim: 3:10-4:7
One correction from my previous post…Derrick is saved, one other teen who will be working with us is not.
Prayer Requests:
-That preparations and training will be able to completed well over the next couple of days
-That we would be able to get a better grasp on the language (we’re still struggling with simple greetings)
-I was asked to preach this Sunday at Salvation Baptist…that I may expound His Word well.
You boys sound like you have your hands full =} I bet you are having a great time none the less and praise God for the work he has provided for you. We (our church) have been praying for you both, your team, your requests, and more. You are loved and thank you both so much for your efforts in Zambia! - Liz Palmer
