5 Visitors:  4 Revs., 2 baldies, and a barrel of laughs

 

On Wednesday we sadly said goodbye to 4 pastors from Eastern Hills Community church in Denver, and Gayle Zonnefeld from Partners Worldwide who also lives in Colorado.  It was a busy time but so much fun.  Two of them were youth pastors, so we know what fun (and a little crazy) youth pastors can be!  And all 5 of them are filled with joy and are so funny.  They were able to play with the children at our Village, play "football" with children at Okada school.   They heard the stories of Kamau, and Miriam and Rose our housemothers.  In the evening of the same day they heard from the Zimbabwean farmers who have had to move to Zambia after loosing everything.  One afternoon 19 people from the church in Liteta came for singing, sharing, and a meal together.  It was wonderful to see little groups of Zambians talking with the folks from the US.  We are excited to be connected to their church and we are looking forward to the teams who will come over to help us here.
