Join us in Zambia!

We just returned the other day from a great trip to Seattle to visit the home office of Christian Veterinary Mission, our wonderful sending agency.  It was great to see everyone and feel a good connection to people serving with us.  No time to see Seattle or some of the amazing parks there, maybe next time...

Came home and closed on the house and moved out yesterday and are now officially homeless in America.  Now we travel the country in a loaded down mini van, currently with a flat tire as I type in an autoshop awaiting repairs.  The practice sale is almost complete and I leave my part of Hillside in great hands.

Two weeks ago we helped move Alicia's mom to a house 1 mile from her sister and are happy for her as she seems to be an automatic part of a great small town community.  We will probably live there most of this month as well and travel out to visit and speak here and there until we go back to Zambia.

We leave Feb 26th with a one way ticket this time and are excited to be going back for 2 years and then see where God leads next- stay longer, come back, another place, up to Him.

We would love to have you join us in prayer, financially, and relationally in Zambia.  We are a small part of the Church doing this work and it will not go on if it is just us.  If it is your joy to be part of what God is doing through people in Zambia here are some ways to come along:

1.  Prayer- we need your prayers for wisdom, to see God's leading daily, strength, open hearts and minds, and for us to stay in the peace He gives us in the work there.  We will be starting a monthly prayer letter- send us your information and we will add you to the mailing/email if you are not already on.

2.  Finances- we need monthly support to stay in Zambia and believe that if we are to be there it is because we desire to do the work and others desire to sustain it with giving.  I don't think we give out of pity or even always generosity or excess, but because it is our joy and it is amazing to be part of the work.  If your joy is in other work stay there, but if what we are doing in Zambia stirs your heart, know we need support and would be so honored to partner with you.  We are currently at about 60% of monthly support and hoping to be fully there by the time we go back.  So jump on!  See the link to give once or monthly (most helpful) in the upper right corner of this blog.  All support is tax deductible too!

3.  Relationships-  the best thing in life.  Just staying in touch is the best.  Email, facebook, phone calls, take your pick- we just love to hear from you.  We will be around for February if you want to get together or have us come speak somewhere we will do our best to get it in.  I love it, the more the better!

4.  Education scholarships-  Alicia has been connecting Zambians she has personal relationships with to others who wish to send them to school for a variety of things.  High school, welding, nursing, teaching, and medical school so far.  Education is a good way to make lasting change in a family from afar.  Each person is someone we know with a different story that we have pursued ourselves.  Ask Alicia about details- aliciagayleevans@gmail.com if interested or questions.

Love you guys all, tried to keep it short- we will get back to more interesting stuff soon but had to do an update and request for help for now.  Looking forward to the next years and working with so many great people.

Ephesians 2:10
