There are several more testimonies from Kevin's missionary companions in Zambia. Kevin's isn't anomg them, but I thought you might like to read what some of the other missionaries are saying and experiencing. One in particular (Testimony Seven) helps understand the picture of Kevin washing the Zambian's feet.
Kevin will be coming back in about a week. We are so excited to get to see him. Thank you for your prayers. (Sorry for the "all caps" but that is how they were posted on the web and I can't "retype" that much with only one hand! I'll be glad to get this splint off my right hand in a week or so).
Testimony Eight (July 1)
HERE IN ZAMBIA, WE SEEM TO LEARN THE LESSONS WE NEED THE MOST, BUT WANT TO LEARN THE LEAST. I WILL START OUT IN SAYING THAT THE TIMES I STRUGGLED WITH WHO IS IN CONTROL THE MOST ARE WHEN MY BODY ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. I OFTEN LOSE MY PATIENCE WITH GOD IN THOSE MOMENTS. SO, WHERE ELSE WOULD GOD WANT TO START MY LESSON. AS A MISSIONARY ADVISOR, I AM IN CHARGE OF DIRECTING VBS [CAMP] FOR A GROUP OF ORPHANS. THE THIRD DAY OF CAMP I GREW ILL. AT THE TIME I KEPT PUSHING MYSELF TRUSTING IN MY BODY. AFTER REACHING MY BREAKING POINT I HAD NO ON LEFT TO TRUST BUT GOD. LITTLE DID I KNOW GOD WAS MAKING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MISSIONARIES BELOW ME TO STEP UP IN LEADERSHIP AND ALSO TRUST IN GOD. I CAN SEE HOW GOD USES EVERYTHING FOR GOOD, AND THAT I SHOULD BE MORE OPEN TO HIS WILL.PS... I WAS FULLY HEALED THE DAY AFTER. PRAISE GOD!!!

I HAVE ALWAYS FELT GOD CALLING ME TO MISSIONS IN AFRICA, BUT I NEVER
EXPECTED TO BE HERE QUITE SO SOON. THIS TRIP TO ZAMBIA HAS REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO HOW MUCH POVERTY IS IN THE WORLD AND HOW BLESSED I AM TO LIVE IN NORTH AMERICA. IT REALLY HITS HOME WHEN IT IS NO LONGER ON THE TV SCREEN BUT ALL AROUND YOU. THESE CHILDREN ARE SO WORTHY OF LOVE AND IT WARMS MY HEART WHEN THEY RUN UP TO ME WITH THEIR ARMS OPEN WIDE.DURING VBS [CAMP], MY GROUP AND I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE CHILDREN LOVE BY WASHING THEIR FEET, JUST AS JESUS DID WITH HIS DISCIPLES. NO MATTER HOW HARD I SCRUBBED, THE DIRT WOULD NOT COME OFF...AND IT BROKE MY HEART. BUT SEEING THE JOY ON EACH OF THEIR FACES, AS I WASHED, IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET. JESUS CAME TO EARTH AS A SERVANT, SO I SHOULD STRIVE FOR THE SAME. THIS TRIP HAS REALLY IMPACTED MY LIFE!

NEVER HAVE I EVER EXERIENCED A MISSION TRIP QUIET LIKE THIS ONE. I'VE NEVER MET SO MANY PEOPLE ON FIRE FOR GOD! GOD PLACED A DESIRE FOR ME TO GO TO AFRICA OVER A YEAR AGO. THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PREPARATION PROCESS AND BEING HERE, GOD HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT PRAYER. NOT JUST ABOUT TALKING TO HIM BUT ABOUT CRYING OUT TO HIM. HE HAS BEEN SO FAITHFUL ON THIS TRIP. HE HAS USED US FOR SO MANY GREAT THINGS, AND FOR THAT I AM FOREVER THANKFUL AND CHANGED! MY GOD IS AMAZING, AND HE DOES ANSWER PRAYERS!

YESTERDAY IN OUR MINISTRY GROUP WE GOT TO MINISTER TO AN ELDERLY LADY AND HER FAMILY. THE LADY WAS SICK WITH MALARIA AND HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT JESUS. WE GOT TO SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH HER AS WELL AS THE LOVE OF JESUS AS WE PRAYED FOR HER AND HER CHILDREN, WE ALSO HELPED HER IN GARDEN. IT'S AMAZING HOW GOD HAS BEEN ABLE TO USE US TO CHANGE LIVES HERE. PLANTING SEEDS THAT HE CAN GROW AND DEVELOP FOR HIS KINGDOM.
