Eight teachers from 5 different community schools gathered at the
Seven Fountains Church for a day of equipping and encouragement.
Marti masterfully led the five hour workshop. The rest of the team
provided support, including the preparation of a lunch of chicken
salad sandwiches on home baked rolls. We couldn't tell if they liked
our food or not--most Zambian don't eat much other than the
traditional Zambian meal of nshima and relish.
Some of the teachers walked as far as seven miles to attend.
Consequently we started on Zamtime: We had planned to start at 9am,
but got it going at about 10, with two of the teachers arriving at
2pm.
After the workshop we exchanged contact information; we won't see most of these teachers again. Then, before returning to the Mbumwae's, we loved on the babies and the "aunties"
at Seven Fountains orphan care home. Emma said, "I either want
to stay here and love on babies forever, or take them all back with
me. It's going to be heartbreaking to leave them."
Loving every picture and word. Sent a WS team to Ghana yesterday and another will head to Liberia in a few days. God is doing aMAzing things in Africa, isn't he? Thank you for the posts! May God keep you safe and continue to astound you with His wonders! Praying for you!
