Some introductions

One of the great joys of being out in Zambia so far is meeting new friends and re-meeting old ones.  So let us introduce you to some of them.

 











While we're out here, we'll be spending the majority of our time with Hilary Millard, who has been in Zambia for years - working at Sakeji school before coming to be the primary headteacher at Amano.  She's shown extraordinary generosity in being willing to have us crowd her flat for over two months.

 

We've been invited to stay at our good friends Steve and Jo Grove's house this weekend.  Steve and Jo moved out here to work with the youth of a local village, Musenga, where they run a youth club and discipleship groups.  We went to the youth club yesterday, and Matt was asked to speak on Acts 9.  We are really close to this family - the two girls (Natalie, 7, and Laura, 4) have literally just finished dressing Matt up in flowery dresses and doing his hair.

Jonathan and Kerry Rass are new to us at Amano.  They've been here about a year and are now a key part of the school.  Jon teaches secondary Chemisty and Biology, and Kerry works in the dorm as a house parent.  She also helps to run a youth club at the school on Thursday evenings.  It's been a real blessing to get to know these guys - they're a similar age to us and have been a great support to us as we settle in.

Jarrett Furnish is the school's new youth pastor.  He's been running the youth club with Kerry, as well as teaching Christian Foundations.  We really feel that the school's emphasis on the students' spiritual growth is great, and Jarrett is a big part of overseeing that.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Matt and Lou
