FEBRUARY 2017 Letter LIVING WELL

Thank YOU for your prayers!

We just returned from our mission trip to Zambia. The mission was very successful!

Pastors Marriage Enrichment Conference:

• The pastors and their wives responded very positively to the Biblical teachings that we brought them, even when they went against their changing culture. 
• Marriages in Zambia are at an interesting juncture. Many of the people were born in a day when their fathers had more than one wife. At this time, polygamy is not common in Zambia, especially in urban settings. Their culture is very male dominated but that is also changing. Even though Christian men may have only one wife, many of them still operate with the idea that the wife has the same status as their children and their possessions. 
• They are now recognizing God’s admonition to live with oneness in their marriages. They are still seeking to understand how to live that out. They expressed their need and desire to learn how to do that. The beauty of sharing Biblical truth is that it is clear and applicable to every generation and culture. Please pray that these couples can implement what they learned and share the truths with their congregations.

WISDOM Christian School:

• What a blessing to visit WCS as the new school year is beginning!
• We saw the food service crew cook and feed 3rd & 4th graders one day and the 1st & 2nd graders on another day. The children are getting some form of protein in every meal. Currently, the children get one lunch per week. As funding increases the lunches served will increase.
• We got to open the barrels that we shipped at the end of October. Everything arrived in good shape! The teachers were excited to get the school supplies and many books that we sent through YOUR donations. 
• We met with two contractors about another classroom building, which we will begin as soon as the funding is complete. We need about $20,000 at this time.

The CHILDREN of WISDOM are excited about school. We can’t wait to go back in June and bring more friends!

Is God calling you to go with us?
We will finalize a team by the end of February. Please contact us ASAP if you are interested in going!

We are also preparing for our 6th annual Together Forever marriage celebration on February 24. It will be a great evening of food, photos, door prizes, and laughter! Please join us. See pcbc.tv/events for more info.

February is a month of love and Valentines Day, see more on LOVE AND ROMANCE here!

Our love in Christ,

Donna and Ed Edwards

P.S. Praise for a successful mission.
Pray for God’s people for our June mission trip.

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.
