Blessings of Brothers and Sisters

Blessings of Brothers and Sisters

 

For the last week and a half we have had Susan Lukaart, Steve Eckert, and Jim Kramer in our Village.  Susan and Jim are members of the AKCLI Board.  What a blessing it has been to have them here with us!  Susan helped get our school year started with her invaluable training and mentoring for all the teachers.  Steve met with the mothers and aunties to talk about trauma in children, a workshop that Steve and Susan did together in Ethiopia before they arrived in Zambia.  All of them were working on Board business including a meeting with the Zambia Board.  It has been an exciting time.

 

On Sunday night, Dave and Sue Wright arrived from MN.  Dave heads up the mission committee at my sister's church.  Dave is a large animal vet.  He will be working on helping us develop a dairy program that will supply milk and meat for our children in addition to a training opportunity as the children help with the whole process.  Sue is landscape designer.  She will be helping us with landscaping around the road front as well as at the school, working with the children to make a landscape plan for our courtyard.

 

All of us have gifts and talents that God can use not only where we live but in ministry to others.  God's good economy!

How many times have you all raised money for the same cottage? You are only doing have of the things that you claim you do. You should come clean with the whole truth and stop hiding behind orphan care.
