Update from Zambia!!


Hello!!!

As of today I have been in Zambia for a full month!! Its amazing how the times goes by so fast! God has taught me so many things and showed me so many areas in my life that I need to change!

Since I have been here I have been attending the Ladies Bible Study on Saturday mornings. It has been a big encouragement to me to study the different topics with these ladies. Its also been great getting to know them. Last Saturday night we had a progressive dinner with them, it was so fun! I am also attending the Young Adults Bible Study on Friday nights. It has been a huge blessing to me. The Bible study is lead by one of the missionaries but for the past 4 weeks he has asked different students at the Bible college to share with us. Every week God has taught me something! It is has been really encouraging! We also meet beforehand and play volleyball, and thats always fun!!

I have been busy working at the Bible College preparing for our Leadership Conference in December. There is a lot of planning and organizing involved. I have also been helping get the textbooks and things set up for next semester. It is a little harder to order books and things knowing that they arrive months down the road! It just means we have to plan early! The work with TRACS is coming along. Lots of little details to work out. Please pray that we get everything in order before December when the TRACS representative comes to look at the college! Those are the major things I have been working on, but also we are looking into getting our library started. There is a container coming with over 5,000 books on it, and I get to help set it up. I will admit it seems a little overwhelming at times, but I know God will give me wisdom and I will make it through! Please pray that God will give me wisdom in setting this up along with the other files and records for the college!

Also, please be in prayer for the construction of the Bible College. As of right now we are meeting in a rented facility and the offices are located at the church. Our desire is to be in the new building by the start of next semester, which is February. The ground floor is completed but we are in need of money to start on the next floor. Please pray that the money would come in before the rainy season so we can complete the building!

Thank you so much for your prayers, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate them!!!
