Greetings from Zambia!

Hi Everyone,
We made it to Zambia last Sunday.

UPDATE FROM A WEEK AGO
We finished a week of the SBS.We learned about Genesis. The students read the book about 4 times in 3 days, and we finished it once. We like it here because we can walk down the street on break and sit at the beach for a bit or grab a bite to eat at a hamburger stand for cheap. We also like that there are about 15 nations represented in the SBS class, and many more on the whole base.
Once as we were walking to the beach to go read Genesis, a homeless woman stopped us and asked us to buy a Bible concordance. She thought we were probably from YWAM and needed help spiritually, emotionally, and financially. She was pregnant and her husband couldn't get a job. She had a very rough family life growing up and I(dewayne) got to share a little about the things I learned in class concerning the fall and how men became sinful and how it's was never Gods heart for this to happen and the only way to fix it is Christ. After hearing more of her sad story Tara prayed with her and we gave her some soup packets and bought the Concordance to help them. Her name is Christin if you would like to pray for her. She is due any day and her husband is looking for a job.
We went to a township nearby with the DTS and talked to the coloreds and blacks. I kinda felt like the rich whitey that was there to comfort them, but later I heard that they would rather listen to us than their family or neighbors that live there with them. We got to talk and pray with people and hear some more sad stories. It's hard to know if you should expect God to heal or if they just need to change things in their life. I don't doubt that God can heal but I also know we cant do whatever we want all the time and expect God to rescue us. Pray for us to know how to speak and pray into their situations.

CURRENT UPDATE

Our time in Zambia has been good. We got to take a mini honeymoon add on from our one in Savannah. We visited Victoria Falls which was amazingly beautiful. This was a moment I (Tara) have been waiting for for 2 years! It was a perfect visit and we walked around the park for 4 hours seeing the falls from many angles. We also went to stay in a village and stayed in a hut for the first time. We got a tour, ate local food, and DeWayne got taught some language by a drunk guy!

We next traveled to the capitol of Zambia- Lusaka to visit a fellow student (Stephanie) of one of our training schools. It's been great visiting with her. We will meet up with her later in the trip to see the ministries she has been involved with and start debriefing her from her time in Zambia.
Tomorrow we will be traveling to another city to visit Elizabeth, a Zambian teacher I (Tara) used to work with at the orphanage a few years ago.

That's all for now! Thanks for bearing such a long email! We appreciate your prayers!
