News from Zambia!

We bring you choice greetings from Zambia!

Hello to all! Things are going very, very well! God is everywhere and blessing us each day.

We have just finished our fifth day of training. 2 days for returning counselors - about 25 came. It was so great to see everyone. And truly, the clubs are doing well! The last 3 days have been for new counselors and new clubs. We had 74! It looks like we will be starting 9 new clubs. The pastor's wife, Judith has done an amazing job of taking charge. She's a GEM!

All of the guys from the construction crew send greetings to all the guys from the team last year. They wanted to know when you are coming back!

We visited the house and met the children. It was so, so good to meet and hug them. We've been there 3 times now. And you'll never guess who the momma is? She is one of our GEMS counselors that we taught last year. She is from our biggest club! And she is a wonderful woman! That was such a God sighting!

Of course there have been so many God sightings! Over and over again, God has provided what we needed when we needed it - pretty amazing.

EOH wants us to come back next year and run a VBS and a Get Connected! Camp for older girls! Whew! So many opportunities!!!

Well, we are borrowing this computer, but wanted to send love and greetings to all. We have had an amazing trip, but will be eager to be home with family again.

Love to all!
The GEMS TEAM!
