AUGUST 2024 Letter LIVING WELL

Consider the gripping narrative of this tumultuous election year, filled with twists and turns that keep the nation on edge. From an assassination attempt to an unexpected dropout, the political landscape is more unpredictable than ever – dropping Americans onto an emotional rollercoaster.

Amidst the chaos, a powerful question emerges:
   Where do we truly place our trust?

While the turmoil continues, it's important to remember that true hope and trust can be found in a source beyond politics. As we navigate through these challenging times, let's turn to the one constant we can rely on - our faith in Our Lord and Our Savior. In a world of shifting allegiances and questionable promises - trust in the ultimate source of hope and stability during these turbulent times.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.

    Psalm 118:8

Zambia continues to feel the effects of extreme drought. Almost half of their maize crops (their staple food) was lost. Their president declared a national disaster. The drought continues to affect their power supply. And their inflation rate passed 15% in July. This is their dry season; rainy season does not begin until November. Please pray for the Lord to open the heavens and relieve their drought.

For the staff and students at WISDOM Christian School, water is still available and lunches are still prepared 4 days/week for their 600 STUDENTS – THANKS to the support of many faithful Christians!

Please let us know how you are doing. We are no longer taking counseling appointments, but continually minister to and support WISDOM Christian School. THANK YOU again for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement. 

We could not do what we do without YOU!

Our love in Christ,

Donna and Ed Edwards

P.S. Please pray for our country, for the drought in Zambia, and for the students and staff at WCS.

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.

APRIL 2024 Letter

“Once in a lifetime experience!”

“Phenomenal!”

“Spectacular!”

These comments were a few of the many uttered by those who saw the full eclipse.

One of the most interesting were those who expressed the event as a spiritual experience. 

When their surroundings suddenly go dark in the middle of the day, they know that they have encountered a circumstance that humans could not design or create! They know that the eclipse is a manifestation greater than themselves! It created awe and wonder of the heavens! The heavens displayed God’s glory. We know who inspired that awe and wonder!

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Psalm 19:1

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made
their starry host by the breath of His mouth. Psalm 33:6

Since we started our part-time work in 2020, we have tried to do a newsletter quarterly. We should have put a letter out in February but instead, Ed had surgery on his left knee. He had his right knee replaced last year. He is still working on recovery, going to PT regularly and exercises at home. He has made great progress, but we have been preoccupied as we adjust our roles and our schedule for a while. Our most urgent prayer request for both of us is for our health.

Zambia is experiencing an extreme drought right now – resulting in water shortages, power shortages (their main source is hydroelectric), shortage of cornmeal (their main staple), and higher prices. Power shortages are managed with blackout periods every day; usually only 8 hours of power are available daily.

In the slum area around WISDOM Christian School, families are in poverty - no financial cushion creates extreme hardship when necessities are scarce. Please pray for the Lord to open the heavens and relieve their drought.

Please let us know how you are doing. We are no longer taking counseling appointments, but continually minister to and support WISDOM Christian School. THANK YOU again for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement. We could not do what we do without YOU!
