The team from CO arrived last Monday. It wasn't until Friday that
their luggage arrived. It the meantime they were really quite
patient. They also realized that more important than anything they
had brought for us and the children, packed on suitcases that hadn't
arrived, was their very presence. Playing with and loving the
children and encouraging and supporting us. That was the most
important thing.

What is Important?
1 Comments:
My wife and I went to Zambia last year (APril 2008) to work on 2 Orphanages in Ndola. We volunteer with a local(Loveland, Colorado) non-profit and had shipped a container in January 2008. Just like your luggage, the container did not arrive as expected, but God had bigger plans for us then unloading the container and setting things up, we were able to work with a local Church and do some feeding programs for the street kids, and many other ministry opportunties that God ordained! We are returning in Aug 2009...
