Youth Camp Construction

The rainy season is not the best time to

install a roof in Zambia. As you can see from

the picture I got my truck stuck in the mud

several times. The good news is half of the

roof is finished. I also have the monies

available to finish the other dormitory. By the

end March the roofing project will be

complete. A big thank you to all of you that

have contributed toward the roof.

Our first youth camp at the property will be in

August this year. There is still plenty of work

to be done before then. Toilets, plumbing

and sewer pipes need to be installed. Eighty

bunk beds need to be made. Each bunk bed

will sleep four teens. If you can help with any

of these needs send your gift marked “Youth

Camp.”

Bunk bed including mattresses - $200.00

Toilet - $150.00, 14 needed

Plumbing & sewer pipes - $2,000.00

New Bible Study

Thompsom Mweawa graduated from our Bible

Institute last year and he is the care taker at

the youth camp property. The youth camp is

about six miles outside of Ndola so he and his

family are unable to travel to town to attend

church each Sunday. He started a Bible Study

that is meeting in one of the dorm rooms now

that the roof is installed. The last Sunday in

February Marcia and I attended there. There

were 25 in attendance that day. I believe he

has had three saved in the last few months.
