APRIL 2019 Letter LIVING WELL

We are excited to announce our MISSION ZAMBIA team for 2019:
  • Ed and Donna Edwards, team leaders 
  • Charlie and Sherry Beair (4) 
  • Chris* and Paula Cobb (3)
  • John and Darla Holinsworth (many!!)
  • Travis (2) and daughter, Madison* Lake
  • Steve Lewis*
  • Brian (3) and Tara (2) Matlock 
  • Mary Kay McCormick (5)
  • Anita Powers (5)
  • Larry and Judy Wilkinson*
  • Dennis and Mary Winters*
* Going for the first time. The others have a number by their name indicating the number of times this trip will be for them.

We are always excited to have people go with us for the first time to Africa. We enjoy seeing their reactions and thoughts about their first encounter with the culture. And we also love having people with us who have been before. As you can see, out of 19 people going, we have 12 former members and 7 newbies. Our repeat mission team members are committed to the CHILDREN of WISDOM, in the same way that we are. They are investing their time, their money, and their heart into following the Lord to Zambia.

We appreciate your prayers for the days ahead as we raise funds, plan, and prepare for the mission. We will minister to about 450 children! Our part of the mission costs $14,000 – that includes our flights/lodging/food, camp wisdom t-shirts for the kids and workers and craft supplies, playground and construction materials, ground transportation, and more.

We all have heard about the “ME” generation. But we are ALL born with a “me”-centered mindset. Self-centeredness takes a slant that you may not have considered. Please read our blogs on this idea.

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 Mission Zambia 2019 team and for the remaining $8,700 (out of $14,000) that we need to complete the mission.
