What joy it brings with the blooming of flowers and the greening of trees and lawns! In Oklahoma, spring can also bring the anxiety in anticipating storms and tornadoes! We learn to live in the uncertainty of weather – an element definitely out of our control. In contrast, living in the certainty of a God who loves and cares about us brings peace!
We have had questions about our status in the ministry. We thought it was time to clarify and update you. As we have conveyed many times, we are no longer counseling. Our ministry time is primarily involved with the ongoing support and needs of WISDOM Christian School in Zambia. We communicate with Brother Charles in Zambia almost daily.
When we went to the status of semi-retirement in February 2020, we drastically reduced our salaries. Recently, we decided to close our office to save on overhead and do all of our work from home. Consequently, we have also changed our phone number. You can now reach us at (405)924-3574.

The donations that are directed to LIVING WELL pay for the remaining overhead. The donations to WCS go directly to the support and development of the school. We do not take an administrative fee from those donations.

The school has constant needs – both in the education and feeding of the children and in the maintenance of the physical facility. Our part is to raise 100% of the funds but also to advise and oversee as much as possible from thousands of miles away.

The education system in Zambia is in the process of making major changes; many of those changes will affect WCS. Over the last year, the government has hired thousands of teachers for their public schools. They pay the teachers more than we do as a private school. Consequently, we have lost many of our experienced teachers. But we have been able to hire new teachers to replace them. We are trying to be more competitive with the public schools to retain them.
We hope to be able to go to Zambia later this year. Please pray with us that our health will allow it. The hardest part of the trip is flying! We are in the air for over 24 hours, making the journey over two or three days.
Please let us know how you are doing. THANK YOU again for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement. We could not do what we do without YOU!

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.
