Chipata Survey Trip

We are planning to move the family and our ministry focus to the Eastern Province later this year. For now, I will be making some trips to Chipata (the provincial capital of Eastern Province) to find a suitable house for our family, make some contacts with local officials, and begin to see where we fit into the work God is going to be doing there. I am leaving the mission Wednesday and planning to return the following Monday (July 12).

Please be praying:
1. Savannah will be staying at the mission while I am going on this initial trip. Pray for her safety and protection along with baby Analiese . For me, God's clear direction and leadership while I face multiple upcoming decisions.

2. God to bring the right ministry team together in Chipata. We really see some great benefits in having multiple missionary families come together for the cause of Christ in the Eastern Province. We are already praying God would bring 3 to 5 families for us to be working with. Currently, we have 1 family committed (besides us), 2 other families very interested and praying about it, and possibly 2 other families somewhat interested.

3. God to bring forth a harvest of souls for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hey Kev,

we'll be praying for you all! It sounds like you have a good plan. Perhaps one day we'll join you... hey... you never know! :-)

Oh... and give us a ring if Savannah needs anything while you're away.

Chow!
