A few years ago Holly Moir joined our team to take over and expand Bible Clubs. It was a huge blessing to me (Tricia) as we had added Mark and Manny to our family and I could not run Bible Clubs anymore. And, it was a HUGE blessing to all the kids in our community. Holly put so much love and energy into preparing wonderful and thoughtful lessons for the kids, and she invested an enormous amount of time into our first group of Champs and our newer group of Champs. Holly persevered through the ups and downs of adapting to a new culture and formed a lot of deep relationships with people around our community and in the city. She has been a key part of a lot of camps, outreaches and trainings and we are going to miss her so much! I know that there are a lot of churches that are providing better children's programs because of Holly's efforts and care.
Due primarily to funding challenges, Holly is returning to the U.S. Her home base is in Bellingham, Washington. She is flying out on the 13th. Please join us in thanking God for her great work here in Lusaka and in praying for smooth travels and transition for her. God bless you, Holly!

| At staff meeting at our place we had a nice lunch together and had an extended prayer time for Holly. Of course there were some tears... but also some smiles. |

| Closing night for Bible Club. It was crazy with around 240 kids and a LOT of ice cream. Some of the kids sang a special song for Holly. And we passed out a lot of Bibles to the 11-13 year olds graduating. |
