Communion, Bibles, Microenterprise and Siabbeula

Monday, July 18
It felt as if we have truly arrived as our visitation began in earnest today.  First with an intro-duction to the Sinazongwe ADP staff, our hearts united in worship, Bible study and a spirit-filled communion service. We moved from breaking bread to Pam helping Loveless, a 36-year old widow caring for 5 children (not all hers) make bread. 
Pam Making Fritters with Loveless
Loveless runs a small vegetable and fritter business that she was able to develop using small plans from Vision Fund, the local microfinance institution. She is just one of 350 Vision Fund clients in the ADP.

Communion in Siabbeula
 Our next stop was to celebrate the opening of the Siabbeula food security building and solar powered water pumps.  We again shared communion with the 7 local pastors and community leaders.  We also shared Tonga Bibles and singing with the villagers.  A God-filled day! 

Signing off ....
