Grandson

There are people in your life that come and go, but family always remains. Sisters, brothers, parents, grandparents, granddaughters, grandsons, nieces, and nephews. Family is a constant. For me, my nephew and Grandson are two that hold a very special place in my heart. I know you are asking how…

North Texas Giving Day

I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect on North Texas Giving Day. I’m new here, after all, and I hardly know what to expect when I walk into the office on a daily basis. All I knew was that Alissa had told me it was going to be a big…

Faith

Yesterday morning at 1AM I received a phone call from our Zambian team informing me that one of the children in our child sponsorship program, Faith, had died suddenly. My stomach dropped. You might remember Faith, I blogged about her just a few short weeks ago. She was 13 and…

Child Sponsorship

Alissa and I got back yesterday afternoon, barely. At the ticketing counter in the Lusaka International Airport, the situation didn’t look very positive. Then again in during our 30-minute, terminal-transferring, go-through-security-again layover in Amsterdam. We’re working in the office this morning, but don’t be too impressed – we’ve already decided…

Why Go?

Why Would You Take a Trip to Zambia? That’s a fair question. There are plenty of reasons not to go on such a trip. A trip to Zambia is expensive. Getting there takes several days. A trip to Zambia is risky (at least it appears more risky than staying home). And there’s…

Last Day of Lessons, PCPC

This week has been a whirlwind week. All the college kids got off the plane in Lusaka and hit the ground running. We’ve covered a lot of ground since then, but we’ve been blessed that all the group members are able to soak in every experience. It’s everyone back in…

4th of July Madness

Happy Fourth of July America! We barley had time to celebrate the fourth over here in Zambia but don’t worry we did! I have been in Zambia for about three weeks now and hit the ground running. Camille, our Arise Africa intern has been with me the entire time…

In Peace or In Pieces

Mrs. Tembo gave a rousing thank you at the end of Family Faith Camp at her school, Greenhill Community School. No one saw it coming. We didn’t see all the tears coming either. Mrs. Tembo’s speech was a poignant reminder of God’s ability to work through all things, all people,…

Family Faith Camp, Day 4

Memory verse: When I am afraid, I will trust in God. – Psalm 56:3 We had lots of surprises in store for the kids at camp today. First of which was a camp volunteer dressed as a solider in the Lord’s army. Jeremiah did a great job showing the group…

Family Faith Camp, Day 3

Today we’re just doing a photo update. There have been some hilarious moments the past few days, and some tough moments – we’re all loving every minute of it. This group of people, staff, volunteers, and trip participants alike, are unmatched. We’re digging in deep with the older kids, making…
