Another amazing day in Zambia! The team are doing so brilliantly - giving selflessly being positive and continually engaging with the different people we meet.
Its a challenge as the heat is so tiring as is the constant information gathering and questioning.
Val and I have prepared for tomorrow's Women's Conference - we will be teaching on the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit.
We went on 2 home visits today in the Zambia Compound - visiting ladies that have HIV and that the project is supporting. We went with Catherine who is the volunteer assigned to the two families - she is an amazing woman - mother of 6 children - she goes to the villages at 4am every morning to buy vegetables then sells it from 6am at the market. She has 5 clients and visits them all weekly - some of them daily. Such free and selfless serving of others is so humbling - the volunteers also have so little yet give so much.
The men had a good day training the pastors. They shared and discussed the dormitory plans they also talked about church leadership structure and had a lively question and answer session. They will present some more teaching and training tomorrow and Colin is teaching the worship teams tomorrow too whilst Val and I will be taking the Women's Conference.
Thank you for your prayers - please do pray for us that we hear Gods voice for the women and that we are relevant.
We ate the chicken gift today (we'd called him Howard and he was very tasty!)
Much love, Catrina x
