On to Sinazongwe!

After a hearty breakfast, the team loaded vans and departed for Sinazongwe. We made 2 important stops along the way: first to the Bible Society of Zambia to purchase 300 Tonga  Bibles, then to Mother of Mercy AIDS Hospice. Praying with dying patients Felix, Chilwe, Violet and Joyce, assuring them of God's love, was a deeply moving privilege. It reminded us where this deadly disease leads and of why we are in Zambia. At Mazabuka, halfway between Lusaka and Sinazongwe, we joyfully met Betty Mbewe, former Sinazongwe manager who now oversees 2 ADPs a little to the north.  Betty appeared healthy and happy.

Two and a half more hours of driving got us to the Lakeview Lodge before sundown.

Tomorrow we look forward to worship and to preparing for sponsor visits, along with some Sabbath rest.

Kwasiya buti! (Good night)
