Where our Zambian children live

Well we've been home from Zambia nearly a month now and we're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Taylor and Amanda's baby girl.  Coming home from Zambia has been a little difficult.  I wasn't really ready to talk much about my trip because I when I said something about it, I wanted it to really make an impact.  Well I'm not sure how much of an impact I'm making but talking about Zambia and Family Legacy's work there keeps those children and my experiences in my thoughts daily.  I'm worried about the children we worked with, if they are getting food daily or having nightmares.  Those are everyday occurances for them.  I'm anxious about where we should invest our money there so it benefits the most children.  Today I'll give you a glimpse of where and how the children we worked with live and and the schools they attend if they can afford it.

Specific prayer requests:
     That our children have food on a daily basis
     That our children are safe from the influences of witch doctors
     That our children don't have nightmares
     That our children are remembering the lessons of CampLIFE - that God wants them to seek first the kingdom of God

Camp LIFE 2011 ended today

Camp LIFE ended today with hugs & tears, new school shoes &
t-shirts, bracelets, bandanas, sweets, and bookmarks. It was an amazing day and an amazing week!


Kevin had boys ages 14-16 years and all eleven boys accepted Christ! One actually did it following the deliverance of a demon in his body.
I had ten precious girls ages 6-9 years. Two accepted Christ and I am confident that seeds have been planted in the others.


Please be praying for them to be safe, to be protected from the evil that surrounds them and for them to not have nightmares, but good dreams.


We leave in the morning for Victoria Falls.
Thank you for your prayers, and again, for your support of the shoes.
We'll be sharing more when we get home!


Love y'all!

Hello from Zambia!

After 2 night flights and a little sleep, we made it to Lusaka at 6:00 am Saturday morning.  Taylor was there to greet us and I all of a sudden forgot I was tired;  now we’re catching up on that.

Camp LIFE starts Monday morning.  Yeah!  We met our partners Rachel and Gwen, and Gilbert and Bryan tonight.  Please pray for them this week.  Please also pray for our children, that they will know God’s love and finish the week with hope.

Love y’all!

We're off!

Well we're heading out and we're excited.  Lindsay and Tanner are taking us.  We just heard from Taylor and he too is so excited for us to get there.  Infact he will be picking us up when we get there on Saturday morning.  That will be really fun. 

I think we're actually flying with our friend from Sunday school, Shelba Jones.  She is going with a medical group to Romania.

We look forward to sharing about our trip and all of the amazing things that we'll encounter.  Check out Family Legacy on our Favorite List.  You'll really get to see what we're headed for. 

Love yall!

Headed to Zambia

We're in count down mode around here and getting ready to head out to Lusaka, Zambia.  We will leave Thursday at 5:50 p.m. and arrive in Lusaka very early Saturday morning.  Because we are traveling as missionaries, we can bring 3 bags each and we've begun filling them up.  Besides the things we will need for our week at Camp Life with Family Legacy, we are bringing school supplies and clothes for the children there.  Following our week at Camp Life, Kevin & I will be traveling to Victoria Falls for some exciting excursions and to see as much as possible.  We will conclude our trip with a few days in London.  We hope to post many times during our trip, but while in Zambia we may be limited because of availability to the internet.  I'll post our schedule so you can know what we're doing each day.

Here are some specific prayer requests that you can be praying for:

• For Amanda's pregnancy and that all will go well while Taylor and us are away.
• For safety and rest on the plane
• For my health, all is good but I'm still a little anxious about it
• That we will be protected from Satan's attempts to interfere with what we're doing
• That we will continue to prepare well for Camp Life and that the Lord would guide us in our preparation
• For the children that will come to camp and especially for those in our groups
• For the relationship between us and our Apostles and Disciplers
• That we will love and serve the children well
• That many will come to know the Lord
• That I will not be anxious about going into the children's communities
• For our hearts when we say good bye to the children on Friday
