We have talked about the concentric rings of the circle that make up The Village of Hope. But the rock, that was tossed 18 years ago, was Jesus working in the hearts of Benedict and Kathleen Schwartz. Eighteen years ago they followed God’s calling to rural Zambia and have been transforming the lives of orphans/vulnerable children and all those nearby. What a treat it was to come alongside of them for the past two-ish weeks and support what God is doing there. We went there to bless them and, as God’s reverse economy works, we walk away being blessed.
I praise and THANK GOD for His servants that sacrificed much to come on this trip:
Dave Wilder – Gavin Kauffman – Gary Hapken – Nita Hapken
Thank you for touching lives and making a difference, in the name of Jesus, at The Village of Hope.
Pray for the final legs of our journey as, Lord willing, we are back early on Sunday morning.
Madolliso (blessings) to all of you for supporting this trip in many ways!
Mark DeNooy
