..."So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God gives growth." Pray that God would begin now to prepare the hearts of our team and the hearts of the people of Zambia to accept His will in our lives. Pray we would humbly listen to His whispers as others around us plant and water the Spirit living in us. Pray we would know that we are weak and HE is strong. God give us growth.

New News about our team!

A few days ago I received my first e-mail from our team leader! Knowing my team and praying for them by name makes the trip seem to be coming faster every day! I am so excited to serve alongside each of these people and to know them better. Our team leader is Amy Fann. She is a 6th grade science teacher in Southlake, Texas and attends the Village Church. Last year was her first trip with CURE to Zambia and because of how much it affected her walk with Christ she has decided to go back this summer, as a leader! You can go to her website here to see pictures from last year`s Urban team Zambia. As for the rest of the team, we are a random mix of different lives from all over the U.S.

And then there is me :) I am so excited to serve alongside these believers and to serve the hearts and needs of the people of Zambia. Please begin praying for my team members by name along with me. We need your prayers. Our efforts are empty without the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within each one of us.

Fundraising Update

As of today I am at a total of $1865, with still $2035 left to go towards

my goal!! As soon as Relay for Life at Tech has finished I will

schedule a Moe`s Night here in Blacksburg. I am still handing

out M&Ms to anyone who is willing.

Once I am back in STL I will be planning some car-washes

and hopefully a couple more coupon days at It`s A Grind. Thank you

for your patience and faithfulness in serving alongside me. I am

learning right now more than ever that God does provide. And I am

learning that I have to be still, know that He is God, and trust him.

Psalm 37:7. Especially with this trip, and His provision for it and

during it.
