Dear Bobby:
We have worked daylight to dark. So many
exciting things to share with you when we return. We are involved in many heart
warming projects to help our villages - we are helping to provide jobs and
little entrepreneurial businesses. God is more than good and leading us to many
needed works. The Tshikondene mine closed down. 2,000 people lost their job. A
doctor at the mine said each person working touches almost 20 others so 40,000
people have been impacted. The already deep poverty is now at an excruciating
level. So far, we have started 2 large community farm projects and 2 major
chicken projects. It is over 100 degrees so it feels like we are melting during
the day. Yesterday, we distributed mosquito nets to women and children in 5
villages. And put shoes on over 40 orphans. They have never had shoes, so their
reaction flooded me with tears. There are other ways we have created 5 more
jobs. I have prayed that God guide us to answers as he reveals the great need.
Would you pass this along at Church. I will try to get a blog out soon. Please
take care of yourself sweet friend. Know that I so appreciate and miss you.
Love, Sidney
