Week 4: We took the opportunity to go shopping in the market in Ndola where the girls bought material to use as a chitenge (wrap around skirt) and we marveled at the different amount of fried caterpillars you could buy ( a local delicacy) the smell of fish in a land locked country was also interesting!!! This week has been an amazing week of awesome ministries. Throughout the week we have been back to St Antony’s and are now getting to know the names of the children (the premature baby, Martha, is growing in strength and Stevie has started to walk (despite the fact that at 8 years old his legs are no wider than my big toe). we have seen people delivered from demons in church and whilst on hut-to-hut and one lady gave her life to Christ as well. We have also learnt about the devastating witchcraft related ritual sacrifices at lifeline this week.
Fitness this week has been record breaking!!!! The girls and Pete managed to complete the run route in 21:05 minutes, Ed followed closely behind on a bicycle due to rough knees and Jo’s ankle has almost made a full recovery so she is looking forward to getting back into the fitness routine.
Editors note: it’s a good job we are out doing fitness otherwise we would all be putting on weight thanks to Catharine’s lovely cooking, the African diet being easily characterized as carbohydrates and cabbage!!
We spent some time with the Kaniki Bible University College students as they shared from their weekend ministries. (Which they delivered with great enthusiasm. It has to be said that UK sung worship does not touch African style.)
Our Bemba is coming on and we no longer say:
“Good afternoon, how are you this morning?”
But can now say: “Ni Nebo Ed” Which roughly translated means: “I am Ed!!!!”
So overall we have had a great week and are now looking forward to our first expedition in 2 weeks time as we begin the preparation for it this week.
Praise Points:
Jo’s ankle healing so quickly. Amen, thank you Jesus!
That God is all about setting people free.
That the sun is really hot here! How’s the weather back home!!??
Ed’s cold has been and gone
That the Internet was working for this Blog to be put online!!!
Prayer Points:
Please pray for Beatrice a local Zambian lady who is still struggling to sleep after her husband was murdered a year ago.
Janet, a Life Line volunteer currently suffering from a yet to be diagnosed illness. Pray for strength and healing.
For all our families and friends back home that God would keep them safe and mightily bless them.
Thank You and until next time, See Ya!
