Silembe, Zambia | Update 30 May 08

We are very busy with things at WOR. Please keep the ministry in your prayers as we are going through a name change in the very near future. We are looking for God's guidance. A recent update from our team in Zambia:


Hey Scott, we are very busy here in Silembe with the roof going on the 3rd home at House of Faith Orphanage.

Roof will probably be done on Monday. Golden is confident the house will be secured with slab poured before we leave.

Got 2 more loads of rocks today. We have some ladies sorting and grading the rock.

Jo Anne will pickup 4 children when we open this house (the second home is pictured below). She has been waiting for a bed for the house mother. Golden's 1st bed is ready except for some sanding.

I learned from the council members, Chief Nyawa says we are the only people in his area seriously working. He has asked for a grand opening and is ready to attend. I don't think we can do it until I return. (We did a dedication during our team's visit in March 2008)

I will haul more rocks tomorrow and work on a number of things, after going to the bank and picking up the "fire doors" for the kitchen. Between Silembe and sorting out some security issues in Kalomo, we have a tight schedule. I'll work on the ledger tonight, and get things tidied up for your departure later this month. Hopefully, the lights will come back on soon...........

God Bless, from Mike & WOR Zambia Team
-----------------------
Mike and Linda Jones will be leaving for the States later this month, and will return to Zambia in early September -when we plan on starting our 2nd project in Kasama, Zambia.
We currently have 11 children living at the House of Faith Orphanage, of which, 2 are currently sponsored. Please contact our office if you'd like to sponsor one of these children.
