September 26th

Special Prayers are needed!
Ms. Alice Gentry has not been feeling well. She felt it could be a kidney stone.



Thandie and her family will be having a funeral tomorrow for her 96 year old beautiful Grandmother. Grandmother was not feeling well earlier in the week and the family took her to the Queens Hospital. It appeared to be her heart. The family took Grandmother home and she was eating and comfortable. On Friday Thandie felt the need to go see Grandmother. She was able to visit with her and asked her if she could pray with her. We are not sure if she has accepted the Lord, but we know Peace has been witnessing to her. Grandmother smiled her beautiful smile and as Thandie prayed the Lord took her in his arms.

Whether you stop at the side of the rode or shop in the Central Market or the Shoprite Grocery Store or at the village market, you can find all kinds of vegetables. Most vegetables from the selected markets, with proper cleaning are safe to eat. The Open Air Market meat is not something we are use to so it is not recommended. The groceries purchased at the Shop Rite Grocery store is pretty safe.

This weeks news!

Bro. Mark Logan with the children after receiving their gifts!

We have seen an exciting week at the Orphanage and College in Mapangua.
Thandie and the children were organizing the container now that the children have received clothes, shoes and blankets. The smiles are so wonderful to see! The container costs are so worth it when the children receive what they need from all those generous donations from Churches in the States.

Lusungu has been visiting the orphanage and sharing with the girls what her difficulties aren't and what she has to look forward to. They have been having a great bonding sessions while knitting. Lusungu teases Aunt Thandie that she will be finished with her blanket before Aunt Thandie is finished with her Poncho.

Friday there were visitors from the Secondary school. The Director of the school and 2 teachers. It was great, the Director had brought food to Ida when she was in the hospital this year. They show alot of interest in the children and gave an encouraging talk to all the children. The children were excited to show the Director and the teachers the garden. They could not believe the abundance of the garden and how green the greens were. Aunt Thandie gave them some vegetables under the Directors protest, Aunt Thandie explained God would Bless them abundantly when they give. Once again the Garden is a testimony of God's Love.

Hot off the Press today!

We have been watching the news about the garden and just received a picture of the results of the treddle pump and the hard work of the children! How exciting this is!!!!!

Here is Thandie, Henry and Andrew!

Please pray for those heading to Malawi. Dr. Gentry will be heading to Malawi tomorrow with a group. Dr. Gentry and Ms. Alice were purchasing shoes for the children at the Goodwill store yesterday. The children are from 5 years old to 16 year olds. A Nurse from Georgia will be joining the group this trip and Mike Shanaberger will be working on three more wells.


This is a rare picture of Mike sitting still. We have the living water and Mike will be supplying Water for living.

"You can't give the message of living water to people who are dying of thirst for the lack of real water." quote by Mike Shanaberger




October brings people from Countryside Baptist Church in West Virginia

and Bobby Singleton will put his shoes on for the soul winning. You won't see him at the house much but to rest up for an early morning start for soul winning.

The Garden

We recently read Andrew Nyenga's letter (you can see his letter here)and the desire to become more independent. The funds aren't always available for the orphanage, they live on a very strict budget. A permanent farm/garden will help meet that need. The children are excited to help in the garden and what a great way to get close to God. The work in the dirt, planting the seeds, having the God given rain and seeing the blessing of the vegetables grow brings joy to them. The funds for the treddle pumps pictured were donated by two Police Officers from the Pensacola Police Department. They heard about the need from Chuck. The seeds have been donated by Ms. Clara Staub and this year they were planted in plenty. Treddle pumps ($200 US dollars each)are a simple but effective way to move water from one area in abundance to an area of need.
