3rd Home

From our Team in Zambia:

Hello from Zambia -we are nearing the time where we will be putting the roof on our 3rd home at the House of Faith Orphanage.


I should be sending pictures of this house roofed next week. I'm sure they finished the outside walls today.

After getting home last night from Lusaka, I left at 5:30 to pickup 4 of the District Councilors to do a "site visit". They saw the local people, all giving encouraging words concerning us.


The main floor is finished in the kitchen/laundry. We will grade and pour the pantries (slight grade to keep water out) and entrance (also graded to keep water out) later. Today was the last day of putting water for curing.


Tomorrow I'll haul rocks and pay everyone after a bank withdrawal and buying a few things.


The 2nd house painting is finished and looks good.


Jo Anne and Kathy stayed here last night and greeted the councilors when they arrived today. We will get the information requested to you soon. Jo Anne will send you some options concerning Lovemore's eyes as soon as she can check out everything. All of the children looked great to me today.

God Bless,
from Mike
Please continue to pray for our team and children in Zambia.
