This is what I call "OVERLOAD"!! These two cars were seen as we were nearing the boarder between Zambia and Malawi! Sometimes after being in a communal type of living for weeks at a time, I feel somewhat overloaded and must avoid crowds for a few days to regain my composure. I understand in a new way why Jesus just needed to get away from the crowds and even his own disciples from time to time just to regroup and get refocused.
After our time with the new missionaries, we made a trip to visit our missionaries, Daniel and Grace Kim up in the Copperbelt of Zambia. It was such a pleasure to be in their home, being around such grateful and passionate people. Both Daniel and Grace speak well the language of ChiBemba, and have a real passion for teaching/training their leadership to know well who they are in Christ and to pass that onto their own people. The church is growing in that area and it was exciting to see how because of one leaders faithfulness in sharing his testimony to others, they in turn have accepted Christ and are doing likewise and starting new churches!
At the end of our 4040 bush camp we all normally eat our last meal out at a restaurant so to facilitate packing up and cleaning up before departure. Well, the Zambian cooks have made it into a banqueting time! Janet Lawrence, middle, was helped by her staff to dress appropriately. The rest of us scrounged up what we could to dress up some by borrowing, buying and just using what we had on hand. I dressed up a chiteje with an $8.00 top with necklace..=}... We praise God for a great 4040 experience. There was minimal health issues, great attitudes and just an exceptional group of participants going all over eastern and southern African countries. Thank you for your prayers!

Northwestern part of Zambia was a surprise to us. There are copper mines that dominate that area, lots of industry and beautiful towns.
