outreach coming to a close...

so many things i could update on..
Well my DtS is coming to a close now and it's quite depressing. We finished up our time in Zambia and it was extremely hard for us to leave as we had all made so many friends in that area. In Zambia we did tons of things some of the major stuff though was: open market evangelism in 3 huge produce markets and one craft market, We preached and did dramas and shared testimonies 3 days of church service at the apostolic faith mission church (which we worked through the majority of the time), we did door to door ministry in 2 communities for about 12 days, we volunteered in 3 different orphanages, we taught a mini DTS course to some locals so there would be some permanent people in Livingston to carry out what we had started, we lead children's ministry (1-12), youth (12-17), and young adults (18 and up) 3 saturdays in a row, we did evangelism at the border to Zimbabwe for a day and downtown open evangelism for a few days, and personally i was able through my families support send 3 children to school for the year and buy a wonderful little 7 year old girl named Elizabeth some new clothes and books for school. We saw many many people get saved one woman healed of Malaria and one woman of TB. I was able to tell two teenage boys who Jesus was for the first time which was one of my biggest highlights because you don't have the opportunity to tell someone about Jesus for the first time much anymore and then i was able to lead them in giving their lives to Jesus. There were some really amazing and exciting stories that i would love to share but I know nobody wants to read for an hour but Im excited to share with you all in 3 weeks when i come home. My team drove back from Zambia to South Africa on Tuesday because we were going to go into Zimbabwe for the last 9 days however because of finances we needed to return however we will still be doing outreach nearby the Worcester base where i did my lecture phase in, for 2 weeks and then it's my de-briefing week and then it will be time to travel home. I really really loved Zambia and besides the amazing Giraffes and Zebras and Elephants I saw I made some really amazing friends and the Zambian people are so kind and will instantly open up their home for you and are so hungry for more of God especially those we met living in Mukuni village. The people there are living in very poor housing with little running water and they loose electricity every night and it pours down rain everyday and when I say pour i mean everyone literally stops under some kind of shelter and just waits for it to stop because it will completely drench you in 5 seconds trust me i learned from experience. The children run around outside alone with no shoes tattered clothing and with little food in their stomachs. They mostly eat this food called shima because it's made out of maze meal and it's extremely cheap and filling however you can imagine the children need better nutrition then this so when possible we would give them our left overs. I have lots of pictures and cannot wait to share them with you all soon unfortunately it is now 1 a.m. and i have not slept since two nights ago and i need to be up again at 6 but i know how important it is for me to keep you all updated. Hopefully there will be pictures up during my de-briefing week. I love you all and miss you tons please pray that there will be available seats on the flights for me to come home im a little nervous about that. Thank you!
