MARCH 2016 Letter LIVING WELL

Gary and Barb Rosberg at Together Forever
Thank YOU for YOUR prayers for our Together Forever event. It was a great weekend! God showed up and spoke to many hearts.

We can’t say enough good things about Gary and Barb Rosberg. They spoke from their hearts, shared their experiences, demonstrated their principles, but best of all, they directed everyone back to their relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. God encouraged, strengthened, and mended marriages on Friday night and Saturday. And we all had fun too!
Ed with Gary Rosberg

An update on WISDOM Community School – the kitchen building is underway! The foundation has been poured and the walls are going up! We also have new desks! Many THANKS to the generosity of our supporters!

We are building our MISSION ZAMBIA team. We are excited about the people who have committed to go with us. We have 3 parent/child pairs going with us. It’s a great experience to share with your teenager or adult child. More news on that next month!

We have been writing about problems/solutions in marriage over the last few months. When couples come to see us, near the top of their list is communication – more specifically, “arguing.” They can’t seem to disagree without arguing. The arguing escalates into a verbal battle, ending in anger and/or withdrawal. Is there a difference between arguing and disagreeing?

Benjamin Franklin said, “If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a temporary victory - sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent's good will.” In marriage or other close relationships, do we want to “win” the argument or do want good will in the relationship?

We have a post on our marriage blog about arguing and disagreeing. Please take time to read it. This kind of conflict happens in many relationships, not just marriage.

As believers, we celebrate the Resurrection every day, but the rest of the world focus on it at the Easter season. Many people are open to hearing the gospel at this time of the year. Each of us can use this time of the year to share the real meaning of the death and resurrection of Our Lord and Savior.

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 us as we make plans for our next Zambia mission.

The water that I will give him will become 
in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.

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