Monday, December 14, 2009. For the least of these". In my last post which was three months ago I spoke of a new ministry that I am spending time with called Mercy Ministries International. I thought you would like to hear more about this organization and the work God is doing through them. Dorothy isn't the only Phiri that works at the ministry. Their children are just as involved. Naomi teaches pre-school, Edna serves as the bookkeeper and DJ drives the bus. Many of the Phiri's family, frien...Is for or...

Sunday, May 30, 2010. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" - Psalm 37:4. Several years ago when I realized that God was asking me to do something more just exist in this world I was convicted to change behaviors and attitudes that were "accepted" by society. I changed these things willingly and with joy. There was one desire in my heart that continued to be a distraction. the desire to be married. Early October of last year I reconnected with a childhood friend....

Thursday, September 24, 2009. Exceedingly Abundantly Above All We Ask or Imagine. Well, it's been two months since my last post and so much has happened. Thanks to everyone who left comments, emailed and prayed for me. "But God has surely listened and heard my (our). I want to share a story with you but it's a little complicated. I know I won't do it justice. There are just so many connections between people who have been a part of my life here in Zambia and in the USA. I've tried to bold. When they firs...

Sunday, August 08, 2010. It Is Not Good To Be Alone. The LORD God said, "It is. I will make a helper suitable for him.". Well, Jim and I have been married two months now and what a whirlwind it has been! Two nights at a luxury resort on the Zambezi for a honeymoon, two weeks in South Africa photographing the 2010 World Cup (13 games in 14 days) and six weeks of 3 short term mission teams from the USA in Zambia. What a way to start a marriage! Rev Mike Helvie and Rev. Dr. Alfred Kalembo. The celebration d...

Monday, March 09, 2009. Is there anything too hard? I was a person before coming to Zambia, a product of my environment and the experiences in my life. I knew when I came to Zambia that the people were different in their thinking and their experiences of life. I understood that I needed to understand how they thought and to respect their culture. Each day as I go about my life in Zambia I have to suppress the person I have been for now fifty years. Zambians don’t show a lot of emotion. At the time I wrot...

Tuesday, May 25, 2010. My last visit to the states was a rather hectic time. I had exactly 4 weeks to visit family and friends, visit numerous health care professionals, and visit churches that support and pray for me. I was exhausted by the time I returned to Zambia. Did I mentioned that the visit was wedged between two short term mission trips that I hosted? I don't remember learning how to come home when I did my missionary training. I didn't do it very well. Ministries. Dannah has a heart for Zam...

Tuesday, May 18, 2010. I do not not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." - Romans 7:15. Or you might change it to this for chronic procrastinators like me. I do not understand why I do NOT do it. For what I need to do I do not do but what I LIKE I do! I actually looked up the definition of Procrastination. You know Google knows everything! Yes, this is me! While it is regarded as normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it imp...

Sunday, January 25, 2009. I confirmed through friends at the hospital that he indeed was dying from complications associated with AIDS. I have never seen such a drastic transformation within a month. I was told he was spitting up blood which was not a good sign. He was discharged but on October 6 was transferred to Livingstone Hospital and died at 7am. He left behind a wife and a seven year child. My plan was to challenge the community to help with the purchase of iron sheets so that this widow will be p...

Tuesday, July 14, 2009. They Call it Growing. If you want to feel secure, do what you al. W how to do. If you want to be a true. Professional and continue to grow, go to the cutting edge of your competence, which means a temporary loss of security. So whenever you don't quite know what you are doing, know that you are growing.". It's been quite a while since I have written a blog. There are several reasons for that. Facebook being one of them! Two years ago I came to Zambia without an agenda, just a hear...
