Hi Everyone,
I wanted to fill you in on other details concerning our trip. Yes, all of our luggage finally made it and we were able to send the donated items where they needed to go. The guys did a wonderful job in the village helping to construct the children's center. In fact, I was told that they were the hardest working team ever!
On Wednesday, we all went to visit a completed children's center in Deya. We saw the kids in school enjoying their big, beautiful building. We also worked with the Home based care workers in Mgona. There we broke into groups and visited patients in their home. There we spoke with them, prayed and even helped clean when needed. It was an eye opening experience that touched our hearts deeply. From there we spent time at Partners in Hope, a clinic ran by Dr. Perry Jansen, and the team was encouraged to see how God is using his vision to help the sick in Lilongwe.
On Friday, our team went back to Chikludlire for a time of celebration. There was singing, dancing, skits and speeches. It was a very special day. Who knew that Chris, Chris and Sherry could dance african style? It is on video....so You Tube anyone? We were also invited to the home of Mr. Mekina (not sure of spelling) for lunch. His wife made: cima, beans, vegetables and goat! It was all very delicious! It also felt like we were at the home of a family member. That's how good God is...bridging hearts together as one.
I love every team member on this trip and it was an honor to work side by side with them. We had quite an experience traveling by air and maybe some day our book will be written. You will not believe it when you hear it but just know every word of it is true.
Thank you for your prayers and support! (Zikomo)

Hi,
Just a quick note regarding the luggage.
6 of the 10 bags have been picked up. The remaining 4 are medical supplies, so it is good to know that everyone, especially Chris, got their clothes.
Please continue to pray for the team as they are slightly over half way through the trip.
Blessings,
Bill
