Our very green surroundings

Happy 2024 to all of you!  Things are getting off to a beautiful, green, and very soggy start this year in Lusaka.  Camp Ciyanjano looks more like a jungle right now than it has for a few years, and the roads around here look more like stream beds.  Every year during hot season we pray to the Lord for good rains and this year they have come abundantly --thank you, Jesus!  However, the unfortunate part of a great rainy season is a lot of flooding and overflowing pit latrines around the city.  Along with transportation problems and other difficulties, serious Cholera outbreaks occur.

We thank God that in our neighborhood we haven't heard of any Cholera cases yet, but the situation is bad and so we ask you to pray for Lusaka!  The mini-hospital near us is a base for some of the Cholera cases and we are hearing ambulances often.  Sadly there have been hundreds of deaths.

Please pray for continued safety and health for us and our staff and network.  Pray that God would help people to make good hygiene/health choices, especially about water, and protect people from Cholera.  Pray that government and especially church leaders would serve the people with needed supplies and productive, wise solutions to this ongoing issue.
