JANUARY 2016 Letter LIVING WELL

A new year is always refreshing and energizing. We think about starting with a blank canvas – what will the picture look like at the end of the year? We can use new colors and new images or go back to our favorites to improve and expand them.

At LIVING WELL, we love the colors and images that we already have on our canvas. In 2016, we want to add more details and enhance the colors!
We want YOU to be part of the big picture that LIVING WELL is painting! We always want our picture to look like Christ. We paint that picture with the family. Many years ago, God gave us the assignment to bring people into a close, personal relationship with Him as we minister to them at teachable moments in their lives – whether it is beginning a family, a stressful time in their family/marriage, or as they grow and develop in their marriage and as a person (especially in the case of poor, African children).

Will YOU join us?


How can YOU be part of our picture? 

YOU can:

  • DONATE to what we are doing to strengthen marriages/families, here and in Zambia. DONATE NOW
    • We cannot continue what we do without financial support.
  • PRAY for families/marriages specifically. 
    • Prayer moves hearts.
  • DEVELOP a marriage/family ministry in YOUR church. We can help YOU.
    • THE CHURCH can make tremendous impact in peoples’ lives – that’s our mission.
  • VOLUNTEER on our team as we develop marriage/family ministries. 
    • Marriage/family ministry teams take many workers in the body of Christ.
  • SPONSOR our Pastoral Family Enrichment training for pastors in Zambia. 
    • Zambian pastors have almost zero training/resources, which they desperately need. DONATE NOW to sponsor a pastor/couple. [cost is $125/couple]
  • GO with us to Zambia to work at WISDOM Community School.
    • YOU will be forever changed as YOU interact with these poor, African children. For more info....
Please continue to pray for our general budget and our mission trip to Zambia.

We still need $8,000 to fund the mission before we leave on January 13!
As this time, we do not yet have enough funds to cover the cost of our plane tickets. We will not be able to do the pastors conference unless we have all of the funds. The ministry cannot afford to fund the conference from our general budget. We also hope to provide school supplies and resources that they need at WCS.

While in Zambia, Ed will also meet with contractors about the kitchen building at WCS. We begin the construction as soon as the funding is complete – only $4,400 to go!!

Thank YOU for YOUR support and care for our mission and for us. Our love in Christ,

Donna and Ed Edwards
P.S. Please pray for our January trip to Zambia and support for the general budget of LIVING WELL.
The water that I will give him will become 
in him a well of water springing up to eternal life. 
John 4:14b 

LIVING WELL is a life source,  not a life style.
