"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."
1 Peter 4:10-11 (NIV)

Good news!


There's so many things to tell, I'm not sure where to start. :) First of all, I'd like to point out that today is 40 days until we leave. I love the significance of 40 days here....several points of good news and preparations happened this week (patience...I'll get to that) and it's 40 days until we leave. I'm looking at this 40 days as more of the "major change/transformation at the end" significance we see in the Bible rather than the "trial" 40 days. 

First..an update on the crate. It has moved and is on its way to New Day, just slowly. It's rainy season in Zambia right now, so apparently this makes for slow travel for something large like our crate. We pray for timely travel and its arrival before us to New Day.

Next is great news that we have more equipment purchased and several things donated. Suzanne O'Connor, who is a prosthetist/orthotist in Dallas, bought us a nice heat gun and air hammer. A big THANK YOU to Suzanne for your donation! 


Also, I talked with Chris yesterday, and she has bought a Trautman (carver/sander machine) and vacuum pump for the trip. These will not fit in our suitcases, so we will be paying extra for those to go on the flight. 

Prosthetic Promises also received a VERY generous donation this week from a couple from my home church in Clifton, which will go to covering these last purchases, extra baggage fees and other expenses. Praise God for this donation! We are so very blessed with all of the donations we have received and the prayers from everyone.
