Bernard has been working in Lusaka, earning some money while doing maintenence work on properties used to care for “street children,” he’s arrived back at Ikelenge.
Joyce has been holding things together while he’s been away.
A lady from Ireland has sent money to build a house for a lady, Josephine, who has lost her arms in a fire. Josephine has a little daughter called Martha who isn’t too well at present, prayer valued for her. The house will be called Martha’s Cottage.
Bernard also asks for prayer that the Government officila will allow them to have additional land with irragation.
The spiritual care of the children continues. There are devotions in the Chota each evening, they start with about eighteen children and as the childrens voices are heard singing, more chidren creep out from the bush to join in until there are about fifty – wonderful!
The children are taught scripture and sing hymns, Amazing Grace (in English and Lunda) and We’re marching To Zion are two favourites.
The Sunday and Saturday School work continues. One of the Sunday Schools is held by the river beneath a Mango tree, it sounds like the book of Acts (Lydia and the other women with her).
