This prideful side of me
lifts my fists and shakes at you
This prideful side of me
is being broken down by love
Oh you love me deeper, deeper, father
Oh you love me deeper, deeper, father
“And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'” Matthew 25:40

Off to Mpongwe
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,
declares the LORD.
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
-Isaiah 55:8-9
Please pray for the team and I this Monday through Sunday as we venture out into the bush, Mpongwe northern Zambia, for 7 days of ministry. Pray for safety in traveling and especially for strength and stamina to not only make it through the long days and little amount of sleep, but that we would be filled with strength to minister and worship with the people of the villages and to share Jesus with our entire lives while we minister to them. Pray God would be our focus and bring unity to our team, to the Zambians we will be joining, and to the locals assisting us in ministry. Pray many will find healing, physically and spiritually. To God be all the glory, the honor, and the praise. He is worthy and he is the reason for it all. We take joy in the fact that he uses us for his work, though he doesn't need us. It is for his fame and his renown.
neither are your ways my ways,
declares the LORD.
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The team has arrived!
Short update to let you know that the team has arrived safe and sound in Lusaka today! They only lost one bag, which will come tomorrow, and all the supplies were untouched through customs and nothing broken, praise the Lord for that answer to prayer.
We did a short orientation and tour of the hospital and played soccer for about an hour before eating and then watching them slowly fade, one by one. They are all exhausted and resting now to be prepared for many long, tiring days ahead. Tomorrow we will join a team of about 20 volunteers to paint the Children's ward. It is very exciting and with bring color and life to the ward in many ways. We are excited to serve alongside the staff here and serve Cure through funding the entire painting project through our fundraising!
It will be a full day tomorrow and then some days of rest this weekend before we pack Sunday night and head out to Mpongwe on Monday to the bush outreach for 6 days. We are all so excited and anticipating many challenges and times of being stretched and learning to lean on the Lord in new ways-the team is ready and excited for what God has ahead for them!

The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for lack of sense.
Proverbs 10:20
Please pray that through the Spirit our words will be His and will feed the hundreds of spiritually starving people we will meet along our path to Mpongwe and as we serve there in the bush area. Pray for God to prepare the soil of their hearts so His truth will sink deep into their souls.
