Greetings from Zambia!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything is going very well! Our flight was fine, London was interesting and Zambia airport was dilapidated! We made it through customs. Jared was stopped and questioned! He did fine! Then we piled in a mini van and drove to bus station and boarded a bus.. We were on the bus for 8 1/2 hours! We were so very tired and sore BUT we made it and that was the most important part! Thank you all for your prayers!!!!!!!!!!!! When we arrived the missionary wife prepared spaghetti alfredo and green beans for us. Then we quickly went to bed.
Then Friday morning we went to devotions with the Zambian preacher "trainees." They are the men that attend the institute preparing for church planting the deep bush. What a blessing to hear them worship and sing songs to our Great God Who provides everything for them! We so wish you could be here to experience what we have already experienced!
Jared got to go on a mission team to the bush nationals today, and he got to see 3 come to the Lord!!!! We are so pumped! And anxious to see what else the Lord has in store for us! I went to town today for some groceries, enjoyed spending time with the missionaries.
Tomorrow, we will be attending church in the deep bush. Looking forward to writing more in the near future. Thank you so much for your prayers, please continue!
Love to all!
Susie and Jared

ReplyDeleteJared and Susie,
ReplyDeleteSounds like things are going good so far. Have I told you guys that I am proud of you? I am sure I have!! What a blessing it is to have loved ones on the mission field. You are such an encouragement to all of us! Just to keep you posted here: we raised over $3,100 for world hunger during our famine. We had a great service on Sunday. I preached on the peace of God, which can definitely come in handy for you guys. Read Phil 4:4-7 if you get a chance. Those who possess the attitudes of Joy, Yieldedness, and Prayer will have access to the Peace of God, which is found in the Person of Christ. We can trust that God will provide us peace beyond our circumstances and understanding. I am sure you guys are experiencing that right now. You are continually in our prayers! Love you guys...especially you Jared Kelly. Spill something for me today!
