Upper Zambezi Team 2014

This is our most recent team photo of the whole Upper Zambezi Team, taken last week in Lusaka at our team meeting. Gerri is on the far left and Melissa is holding Madylanne, who just turned 7. Mark is in the back holding Matthew, who is 3 now, and Melynda has a baby bump, 6 months along now. Gerri and Melissa also live in the Western Province, in the capital of the province, Mongu, which is about 5 hours to drive from where we live in Sesheke. Our team has changed shape a bit since last term.....three families have answered God's calling to other ministries and so this is us now.....Gerri, Melissa, and the Wints. Please pray for God to give us vision and tenacity, unity and perseverance, and boldness to share the Truth of Jesus Christ with the 1 million plus Lozi people and other tribes of people in the Western Province!!

Mr. Triceratops

We saw one of these critters on a recent trip....I like to call him Mr. Triceratops although I bet this colorful chameleon really does have a proper name of his own.  :)

my dolly

This beautiful little girl is Kasamba, and she is holding her doll. Yes, you read that right. This is the doll she has made from a used water bottle and a left over hair extension. And you can see the smile on her face. That says it all. :)

Team Tabernacle 2014

A volunteer team of 17 people- THREE entire families- from Tabernacle Baptist Church, in Cartersville, GA, came to Sesheke to share Jesus and encourage the church from May 28-June 4th. We loved being with them every minute they were here....and so did the church......the next few pics are from their week in Sesheke.

Sharing love and laughter

These two sisters from Tabernacle (McKenzie and Macie) had so much fun sharing the love of Jesus with the kids at the church plot. ALL the volunteers did such an amazing job sharing Jesus the week they were here....they shared Jesus in the high school, in a preschool, going door to door around Sesheke, through church activities such as mother daughter and father son gatherings, a marriage conference, a youth meeting, and a baptism...we love you, Tabernacle Baptist Church, and thank God for you! 

Baptized in Africa

These eight people were just baptized- six from the Baptist Mission Church of Sesheke, and two from Tabernacle Baptist Church (Cartersville, GA). What a wonderful day indeed!!! Two of those baptized are the children of Bo Dominik (Junior and Rita), and the two from GA who were baptized (Wyn and Mac) are children of volunteer team members Clift and Melanie. We are so very excited for all that God is doing in people's hearts in Sesheke and so thankful for all that God did in and through the team from Tabernacle.

Precious Nursery School

This is a shot of the 1-2nd grade classroom at the Precious Nursery School, and the teacher, Teacher Susan. The kids and Melynda have the privilege of going every Wednesday to share Bible stories with this class and many of the other children- sometimes 50 kids, sometimes 12...no matter how many are there we love to tell them about God's love, share a Bible verse, and sing a song together.

Meow!

Introducing Poof- and his sister Spark, who is hiding. The kids LOVE their kitties. Thank You Lord for the blessing of cuddly pets.  :)
