Picture Update

Still haven't heard from Kevin but Global Expeditions has posted some new pictures from the work the missionaries are doing at the Orphanage in Lusaka, Zambia.

One particular picture is of Kevin washing the feet of an unseen Zambian. It made me weep and we were all thrilled to see him.

I think that is Kevin at the back of this group with the lime green headband.

Other pictures from the group are below...

I'll update more when I get some more information. Please be sure to share this link with your friends that may be interested.

Updates from Zambia

Here are a few updates from Zambia. These are some testimonies from a few of the teens that are with Kevin and one from the Project Director. Although I haven't heard specifically from Kevin since last Saturday, I am sure he is having a similar experience.


Testimony One (June 24)

God is so good! These children are amazing and their smiles are priceless! Even after everything they've gone through, they still find reason to laugh and sing! The Lord has really been revealing his power and love through these children. Despite the language barriers, they understand who God is and that He loves them! And these orphans have ministered to me in ways I thought I could minister to them! The Lord is working but greater things are yet to come!! I believe that with all of my heart!

Testimony Two (June 24)

God is faithful to His word. Over and over again God has blown away my own expectations. He reminds me that when I am weak, He is strong. God is a good and Awesome God!!!

Testimony Three (June 24) Project Director

Greetings from Zambia!!

Things are going great! Today is the 2nd day of camp with the orphans. We are also taking sponsorship photos today. It is amazing that your son, daughter, friend, brother, sister, etc...will be able to play a part in finding sponsors for these amazing children.

Some recent updates...We are showering every other day; there is a toilet so we are NOT using the restroom in the bush; they have really been enjoying the food!!!

I guess that is all for now!

Please continue to pray for us!

Testimony Four (June 24)

It is so amazing hrere! Just seeing the orphans and being able to play with them has been awesome! God has definately opened my eyes to so many things. Being here and seeing how little these children have made me realize how much we in America take for granted. And it amazes me that even though these kids have lost one or even both of their parents. They have nothing yet they still can find joy in the smallest things. When I came to Africa I thought I was going to be teaching children everything, but they've actually taught me.

I hope this helps you feel a little more connected to what Kevin is doing. Thanks to everyone for your love, support, and prayers for all of our children.

Kevin's Zambia Itinerary

Many of you have asked to keep up with Kevin's mission trip with Global Expeditions to Lusaka, Zambia. I have limited information, but I thought the best way was to post it to a blog so when I get updates, I will post it here. You can subscribe to this blog to stay updated, or I will post a link in Facebook and Twitter whenever there is something new to report.

Kevin is in Zambia and we spoke to him on Saturday morning, June 20. He is doing great but only had about 5 minutes to talk. He is about one hour outside of Lusaka with 70 other Global Expedition teen missionaries. They are staying in tents and were suppose to start a VBS/Bible camp on Monday, June 22. Posted below is a tentative itinerary for his missionary work. I hope this helps you feel connected with the work he is doing. Of course his trip would not have been possible without God and the support from so many people who believe in what his is doing. Thank you.
