Dear Co-laborers,                 

                  Anticipation, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as: the act of looking forward; especially: pleasurable expectation; visualization of a future event or state. Guess that pretty much sums up the feelings that we are experiencing right now. As we anticipate heading for Zambia September 27th, we “look forward” to the pleasure it will bring us to finally be in the country God called us to six long years ago. We will finally feel the tremendous joy of serving and ministering to God’s people in the country of Zambia, Africa. We can only praise Him for all He has allowed us to experience along the way.

                  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to those of you who have faithfully supported us financially and prayerfully during this extended journey, and thank you for continuing to do so. “Faithful ministry partners who believe that God has great things in store for the furtherance of the Gospel are a part of the encouragement and motivation that every ministry needs.” We look forward to seeing with our own eyes how God will use us, always ready to follow and serve Him.

                  The task of packing our container is well underway and we look forward to bidding it a fond farewell at the end of the month; hopefully sending it a month before we go will allow it to arrive a month or two after we do.

                  Our support level is nearing 90% and we are praying, with faith; knowing that God will provide the additional funds needed prior to our departure. If you haven’t begun to support this ministry yet, we welcome you to have a part in the joy that comes from sacrificial giving to make a difference in Zambia.

                  Please pray we’ll get our work permits in a timely manner, the paperwork has been delivered to the Immigration Office in Lusaka and is currently being processed; also please continue to pray for our support level to reach the 100% needed prior to our departure and pray that the remaining funds needed to transport our container will come in quickly as the time to ship will be upon us very soon. Thank you to those who have already given gifts toward this need; your help is greatly appreciated. God bless you!

                                                                                   

                                                                                    Serving the Lord with Gladness,

                                                                                    Greg & Janet
