Lots going on!

So much has been happening at such a pace I cannot even remember all that has gone on. Vehicles have needed attention, people have had needs, and ministry is a constant. Us newcomers are attending AZ orientation, usually held three afternoons a week. This has been invaluable as to the future direction of ACTION Zambia, historical topics and current issues facing Zambians and our ministry here. We have been enjoying our friends the Bloemkers and the Fultons who will be staying a couple more weeks.
An American family of 8 just arrived for a three month term. We all have been doing what we can to help them get acclimated. The father will be teaching the pastors' classes. Rumor got out that the classes were to start last week and we had 60+ men at our gate waiting for the class. The classes will start tomorrow and I'm sure a good number of pastors will be attending. People are so hungry to learn about God and have a desire to grow. Zambians highly value education of any kind.
We are again in the strangle hold of another fuel shortage. The one refinery in Zambia is closed for a week and fuel of any kind is scarce. AZ has a team from Appleton, WI coming in tomorrow and you can pray that the ministry they have planned can proceed. We have a plan A, plan B and plan C depending on availability of fuel.
I hope to have some photos and more news soon. Thanks for your interest and your patience.
