In Lubumbashi D.R. Congo

Greetings from the D.R. Congo. We have arrived safely and without any hitches. We were helped through customs by a friend of Murray & Joy, one of the local Christians. What a busy border crossing - there were hundreds of trucks lined up a process that takes them at least 3 days to process through. Lubumbashi is hot and busy, horns blaring, crazy drivers, people everywhere!

Murray & Joy are well and well set up in an ex-missionaries house. We are all on our way today north to Manono and Mulongo, visiting the Bible School and the hospital. Depending on how the truck which left yesterday goes, we may be able to return via Luanza where Murray and Joy served for 7 1/2 years, and also visit another Bible school that has close ties with Samfya. We will be away for over a week, visiting many pastors and projects that are funded and seeing their work in Christ. No updates until we get back. Thank you so much for your prayers.
