Just wanted to let y’all know we made it safely to Ndola today around lunch time. We pretty much went straight to the school to see the widows program. They had a graduation ceremony where 15 ladies graduated in the hospitality program (cleaning/hotel work)–and the AMAZING news is…ALL 15 now have JOBS!!! There were 30 […]

Author Archives: adminWe just got in…and I’m about to CRASH!!! I’m roomies with Christina Boyce…another fun adoption momma! (Her baby girl and my baby boy are from the SAME orphanage through AGCI in Ethiopia! How cool is it we are serving in Zambia together AND roommies!!!) We got in to J-burg South Africa just a few hours […] YAY! So glad ya’ll are there safe and sound! Praying!!! Glad you are well! Can’t wait to hear what the Lord does this week. Hug those sweet kiddos for me! HOPE AT HOME 2011 CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 23-24 One of the things I love about being a parent, and about talking about parenting, is that it is the most fertile ground I know of to work out the truth of the Gospel. It’s the real “rubber meets the road” stuff of life, don’t you think? And […]  It’s finally here and we are off! You probably won’t hear from me in the next 48 hours…but I have someone who is going to post about this awesome adoption parenting weekend for both men and women coming up this September called “Hope for Home”. Then after that–I hope to be able to blog here […] Praying for safe travels for you and your companions. Also praying for your little ones at home (that they are ok w/out Momma). I’m praying for you and the precious children you will minister to in Africa. Praying for you and the team, Andrea!!! thought and prayed for you a million times today!! Can’t wait to see what God’s got in store!! Praying for safe travels and an amazing trip! I wish we could be on our way with you…hopefully soon! KISS and HUG those beautiful children…God surely has big things planned for your time there! We have a funny little saying “only before Africa” that we like to say…as it seems the craziest things always seem to happen before leaving on a mission trip. For me, today was one of those days indeed! I now know I’m in the small percentage of people who are allergic to the malaria medication […] Oh Andrea, the enemy is full swing trying to thwart the great plans God has for this trip. We are lifting all of you up in prayer. Oh Andrea ~ that sounds just horrid. I am so sorry that you got THAT sick. Praying for complete healing, rest, restoration and protection. Oh, breaks my heart to hear the scare and unknown while it was happening. So thankful that the enemy was shut down and God brought you home in better shape. Yes, as always, sending prayers for you and your amazing team. Been there with some scary health stuff. SO THANKFUL you are ok!! Rejoicing with you in God’s faithfulness!!! Praying for your fam and your team as you prepare to leave! Oh my word, for heaven’s sake, Andrea. Sheesh. You sure go all out when you do something. Oh Man. One thing’s for sure: ther enemy must not like that you’re heading over there and that can only mean really beautiful things. Will beging praying NOW! love you. For goodness sake BE CAREFUL. xoxoox Praise God you received quick medical attention and are turning things around… Will pray for your continued protection! I know God is going to use you in a mighty way! God bless you… Will pray for a special day with your family tomorrow. Rest well, friend. So thankful you are ok! Get away satan, you will not prevail! Have a wonderful trip! Good grief!! So thankful you are better! Praying for all of you as you head to Zambia! Blessings! Oh Andrea, I am so sorry! That sounds awful! Will be praying for a full recovery for you! And for your upcoming trip! How entirely terrifying! I had a much less severe reaction, but similar – no thanks. I have heard that drinking papaya tea is a good anti-malaria route. May want to look into it! You are definitely being attacked – stay strong and guard yourself with the armour of God! Oh my goodness! You poor thing!!! I started reading your post and my eyes just got bigger and bigger. I so grateful you’re doing better! Medicine CAN BE an amazing thing. (Sometimes anyways!) Kelly |
