There's a new house at the Tree of Life Village

After spending time with the children of Lusaka, Zambia last summer, Kevin and I really wanted to invest in those precious lives.  We were blessed financially beyond what we needed so we decided to build a new home, Blessing House, at the Tree of Life Village outside of Lusaka, Zambia, Africa.  We will dedicate and open the house on July 6th and welcome it's new residents about the middle of the day.  This is 1 of 3 houses opening that week, but it's about the 16th or so home on the property.  There will be 13-15 children and 2 house moms that will begin calling this their new home.  We can hardly wait to meet them all and show them around the house.  We began preparing and collecting some things for it back in January.  Basic needs will be provided at the house but anything else can be done by us.  So several friends and sweet Lindsay helped make tie blankets.  We sent those and some other things on the container that has already arrived.  We will begin moving in on July 5th.  Look for that event to hopefully make the blog with pictures shortly after it happens.

Please be praying for us as we leave this Thursday, June 28th for 2 weeks headed for Zambia to see our kids and our "kids".  Pray for our travel safety, safety while there, health and for the children moving into the house and those we will meet at CampLIFE.  Pray that we will glorify God in all that we do and that many children will hear the Gospel and come to salvation in Christ.
Below are the sweet ladies that helped make the blankets.  I can't wait to share their pictures with the kids. Thank you ladies for sharing your time and efforts to the children of Blessing House.
