This is the team that will be going to the Hope Center today. We'll stay for about three weeks and have a LOT of ministry on our hands. Clockwise from top, left it is Stan Hayek, Nathan Berthel, Nic Wheeler, Graeme Dodge, Jeff Dodge, and Alex Register.
Church-planting - We will split up onto 5 teams to preach the gospel and plant churches with our Zambian friends. Sleeping under the stars and going to remote villages ... bring it!
Warm Clothing for the Children - It is winter there and it gets cold, especially at night. We are taking along official "Hope Center" sweatshirts and sweatpants for the Serenje orphans and we will purchase warm clothing for the 100 kids we minister to in Teta and Kamena.
Soccer outreach - A Zambian friend is welding soccer goals for us and we're bringing nets along. We'll construct and donate these in three places - a HUGE gift for them. We'll use these opportunities for outreach to kids and teens ... and the adults, too!
Construction - One of our teammates (Aaron is coming from Brookside Church in Omaha) is a contractor with the skills necessary to complete a lot of projects at the Hope Center. We need water hooked up, electrical work, and tons of odds-and-ends that he will give focus to and we will help him with.
Bible training - Tim Day will join Jeff Dodge for a week of training with the church-planters. We'll cover the book of Hebrews and the Doctrine of Christ.
Grand Opening of the Hope Center - There will be an official celebration that will welcome the children, the families, and the whole Serenje community. This should be an incredible experience!
Pray for a bold advance of God's work!
