THE WELL PROJECT
Many
ofyou
are
aware of
th e
severe
water problems that had
developed (while we
were
on
furloug
our
house in Lusaka. There
was
only a small amoxmt ofwater coming on
the
property during
th e
even
and none during the days.
We ejqjerienced
one period
of five
dayswhen not onedrop came out
of
the
p
We
were
literally spending
hours
every evening catching and carrying
the little bit
of
water that
did c
Therewas
not
enough
for
drinking,
cooking,
bathing and
toi le ts . It did
not take
longto decide
that
a
bore
was
necessary.
I
am
happy to report
that
at
last)
the well has Ixion
completed, the
storage tank
and
t
installed,
and
that
we have
water
-
plenty
of it
Many
thanks
to you
who were
able
to
help
with the
co
this project.
STOPOVER
IN ENGLAND
We enjoyed
our visit in England with our
good finends,
the Sweitzers.
Jerry and Mary are ministering
with
th e
Macclesfield Road
Chxirch
in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.
Dur ing our t ime there
we
visited several china factories
Wedgewood
for
example),many
antique
shops, cathedrals,
and
t raveled into Scotland
and
Wales.
The English coun
tryside is beautiful,
clean
and &esh. All of
the
food was
exceptionally good; we
especially enjoyed bangers
and
mash
Itwas an honor and
privilegeto be
invited
to
preach
during
th e
morning worship hour on Sunday.
Morning
worship in
England.
OUR FIRST
SUNDAY WITH THE ZAMBIANS
Itwas particularly satisfying
to be
back in the
pulpit
with th eMumbwaRural congregations. AtK
we
reflectedon
the fact
that
onlythree
short
years ago
there
were
approximately
ten
members
meetingtogether
in
their
very
temporary structure. As
we arrived
there
recently
for
the first time in over
a
year, wewere greeted by the ladies
singing and dancing
as they
came
out of the
building,
and
the men
were
all
smi les
and handshakes
here
were
seventy-three
in
attendance
that
day,
andtheirpermanent
building
was well-maintained.
Their
choir
has grown in
quality and
quantity.
HEAT
We
are experiencing our
fifteenth
hot
season in
Zambia, and I think that
this one
is
th e hottest
yet
Everyone
is
discussing
(complaining )
about theweather.
I
heard that Zambia was honored recently with
th e
unenviable
statistic of
being
the hottest place
on earth that
day. The rains
bring their
own set
of
specialproblems,but
they also bring
relief from th e
heat.

worship in

MARTI S PAGE
Dear
Friends. Itwas
great
to be intheUnited States
and refresh
ourselves anew
in your love and friendship.
Thank
you for
drawing us
back into
the
circle and
not
allowing us to be strangers on
the outside.
We love and
appreciate each one of you dearly. It is always somewhat
difficult
to
come
home to
Zambia,
not
knowing what to
expect here. Our
hearts yearn
for family and
finends
in
America and for Andrew in Kenya. We
must
prepare
ourselves
anewmentally to be
soldiers
in the Lord sAmy,
fighting once
again
in
the
frontlines. It is
not
always a
comfortable place to be . We have been plagued by many
problems
since our
return:
the
deaths of special friends
duringour
absence;
no water
(o r
almostno water) for days
at a
time
on
our
property; a flea-infested yard;
the
loss of
two
of
our
three
guard
dogs;
electrical
and plumbing
faults to correct
orrepair
including
no
ho t
water; etc. We
areas a result especially thankful for
your
prayers during
these
difficulties. They have made
th e
difference. They
have
sustained
us , encouraged us ,
and
have
given
us
strength
to
press
on.
Most
of
these
problem
now been solved. We thank youforbeing a
vital
partof
ourministry
here. You
make
Colossians 4:2
alive:
. . . praying
. . . for us . . .
that
God may
open
up to us a door for the
Word
