Well after intense planning since August of last year the 8-member JOF Team will depart tomorrow for Zambia via Washington D.C. and Johannesburg, South Africa.
Will join up with one of our team members from Florida in D.C., and then will meet up with 2-in-country Missionaries that work closely with WOR -which will then make our team 10.
We will flying into Lusaka, Zambia, and then will drive to Kasama for the first stage of our trip. After several days there, we will then depart for the Copperbelt region, where we will spend one day in Chingola, and then a day in Ndola. We will then travel nearly another entire day to Silembe, where we will spend the majority of 4-days working on the House of Faith Orphanage(HOFO) and sharing with the community. We will conclude our trip with several days in Livingstone before departing for home.
Please keep us in your prayers for safe passage, and for well prepared hearts. I am so excited to share Zambia with this group and to visit the wonderful people there for my third time. Certainly I can't forget the children; that is why we are there. That is why God has spoken to each of to 'go'. I am confident that we will be blessed as we set out to impart His blessing.
Should you have an interest or desire to sometime share in Zambia. Our next trip is tentatively planned for November -Eclipse of the Heart. The tentative dates of the trip are October 29th to November 12th. Nearly a week in the Bush is planned for and during this time you will work on the House of Faith Orphanage, spend time working with the children, encourage the local people, work in the community school, and provide other support services.
With an increase in airfare, this trip appears to be costing out at $2,895 per team member for the travel, and then the team will fund some type of project at HOFO. The funds for this per individual will vary based on team size, and project funded. For example, if the team funded one of the homes at HOFO, the total estimated cost for the team would be $10,500. We would hope to have at least 10 of us on the team which would bring the funds required by individual down to $1,050. This specific project and costs should be decided upon by March 31st.
Please contact the WOR office at 303.840.1123 or email Scott at sanordstrom@worldorphanrelief.org to indicate your interest. This trip is tentatively scheduled at this time.
I might be blogging from location in Zambia, but definately promise to update you upon our return on March 14th.
Blessings, and thanks to so many of you for your financial support for His precious children; the Orphans.
