Siliembe, Zambia | HOFO Update

From our team in Zambia:

The plaster work has been completed in the 2nd house. The ceilings will soon be finished as I delivered more timber today. If we can find our painter, the painting will begin Wednesday.



This wall is finally finished.

Our children make toys and jungle gems out of everything. The pantry doors are being fitted in the background.

The kitchen/laundry will be fully usable before I go to the States, but maybe not finished. -Mike and Linda Jones will spend July and August in the United States.

These 4 pantry doors below are fitted. Jo Anne and the "parents" can store food and anything under lock and key.

The plan is to have the 3rd house closed in and secure before we depart for the States. Storage will be moved from the bath house into the 3rd house. Probably a few of our people, 1 bricklayer, will continue on the 3rd house. It may be a place for Jo Anne to stay when the 2nd house is full. We need to spend a considerable amount of money over the next couple of weeks. Roofing will cost k4,440,000 , window and door frames k3,300,000 , cement 2 loads of 50 each = k6,400,000. That's a total of k14,140,000 or $ 4,371.00 at the current exchange rate. We already have the bricks. The labor and furniture is not included in this total. This will almost (only things like window glasses, 3 doors, locks, etc.) finish the third house.

We will be in Livingstone Friday picking up furniture and some other things we need. Saturday we'll deliver furniture and hopefully haul rocks (Doubt hasn't returned from visiting his sick relative as of today).

God Bless, WOR Zambia Team -Mike & Linda Jones, Jo Anne Byrum, Elizabeth, and Golden

As you can see we have considerable financial commitments, and we hope you will join us in serving his Children.
