I had received this update earlier this month from our team in Zambia, and thought you might enjoy.
Teaching from the small vestibule in Chingola. 
In addition to the school, Global Orphan Relief has agreed to partner with Auntie Jennifer to start an Orphanage in the community. Auntie Jennifer is very excited about our partnership, and the opportunity to expand the care for Orphans in Chingola.
The walls are up and plaster begins on the 3rd home at HOFO. The walls may take 2 weeks for completion. I have a smaller work force until such time funds flow more freely.
Our Servant's Heart Missions Team leaves for Zambia on 4 November 2008, and among other planned activities, this group is funding the 3rd home at House of Faith Orphanage(HOFO) in Silembe, Zambia.
This school for Orphans is located in Chingola, Zambia, and was started by Auntie Jennifer. To begin this work she started by washing sand for the local mines to gain the necessary funding to rent the building for the school.

All of the furniture for the Orphanage is made in Zambia, and often times even right there in Silembe. This cabinet was supposed to be ready before the Jones went to the States. Finally, we have it as Elizabeth, our house mother for the 1st home, stands just behind the front door.

Last year we experienced what they claimed to be '100 year rains' and water was everywhere -everyday. The ground water became so prevalent that the pressure crushed our septic tank. We are using additional support to include cement to help the brick stay in place. Rains will begin again in late November - early December time frame.
Keep the Children of Silembe in your prayers as we grow our presence in Zambia.
Peace,
GO! Zambia Team
