21st April 12
It seems so long since we last wrote on the blog, and so much has been happening since! I hope that I can fill you in on everything J
After our wonderful week off, we had 3 days of ‘Lifeline’ children’s days where the four of us ran games for children whilst Lifeline could give medical screening to the kids they support. It was a manic few days, with on average about 160 kids at each event! We were shattered by the end of the days, but it was great to be able to bless so many kids within the different compounds around Ndola and to be able to work more alongside Lifeline, supporting them in all they do.
Last Sunday Ed preached at Kamfinsa church on running the race worth running, and where he showed off his dashing zebra waistcoat… much loved by Pastor Albert and the rest of the congregation!
This last week has gone by fast. Monday to Wednesday we had a camp at Nsobe with 29 youths who are supported by Lifeline. It was action packed with team challenges, treasure huts, water games, morning fitness with Zulu Peter, talks and campfire praise (and marshmallows), sports, game drives, swimming, canoes, fishing (lobsters and eels!), star gazing, great conversations … deep breath … An amazing few days which I doubt they nor we will ever forget.
JO IS BACK! Although she is recovering from a nasty chest infection so she has been resting and allowing herself to fully recover before our journey down to South Africa. It’s great to have her back and to be able to catch up on the last month that has been and gone!
The last few days has been finishing off the practical work around the AQ building – the windows are in and walls are painted, although a few bits and pieces left to do. We have been packing and prepping for our expedition, and are very much looking forward to the adventure starting on Monday!
We will try to keep you all updated as much as possible within the next few weeks, but would really value your prayers J
That’s all for now!
Praise points:
- Jo’s back!
- For a great couple of weeks since our last blog, which has been action packed and full of God!
- That we managed to deliver all the supplies required for Pastor Albert to complete his house in Kamfinsa before we get back
- AJ turned 20 on Thursday!
Prayer points:
- That Jo is completely healed for exped
- Safe travels as we drive down through Botswana and S.Africa all through next week
- Zoe has accepted a placement at Northhampton University – please pray for peace of mind that she has made the right decision, and can walk with it.
