In awe of His blessings....

Thanks to all of the prayers, time, financial support,

and the Lord's faithfulness,

our Night of Music fundraiser was an incredible success.

We were blessed by the presence of over a hundred people

who came and enjoyed delicious hoagies

(Thank you, Bradley's of Stone Harbor!)

and live music

(Mark Vallese, Lisa Salasin, The Laura Fisher Band, and others!).


Through God's goodness we ended up raising over $4,500

from the donations received at the fundraiser,

Crest Community Church,

and Sojourn Community Church.

Way beyond what we had even hoped for!

The pain and need we saw in Zambia

has been heavy on our hearts

ever since we first got to know that beautiful country,

so we are incredibly blessed to be able to send this money

and make a difference in their lives.


Once the funds reach Zambia and are put to use

we will update the blog so that you can see

how this money is blessing the people of Mukinge.


Twasanta Mwane!

"Come, you who are blessed by my Father;

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,

I was a stranger and you invited me in,

I needed clothes and you clothed me,

I was sick and you looked after me,

I was in prison and you came to visit me."

From U.S. soil

Night of Music
Tuesday, August 11, 2009
5pm - 11 or 12

My brother Corey and I would like to invite you to come and enjoy an evening of music and food, and to support a good cause.

We left Zambia almost 8 months ago, hard to believe! We have not stopped thinking about and praying for that beautiful country and the beautiful people in it. And now we are finally backing those prayers with action :)

Those months completely changed the way we look at the world, and we realized just how much of our blessings we take for granted. We realize we could never fill the many needs we saw in Kasempa, but we have selected the three that God has pressed on our hearts, and we are asking for your help!

All proceeds of the night will go to Kasempa, Zambia to fill the three different needs that Corey and I saw when we were there last fall-

1) Formula for the children that rely on the care of the pediatrics ward of the hospital when their parents can't feed them.
((
http://www.webmissions.org/mukinge/ ))

2) Funding for the leper colony there that relies almost entirely on outside support for the things they can't physically obtain for themselves-

such as clothing, medicine, and most of their food.

3) The construction of Mulunda Miaka Orphanage.
The vision of two Zambian nationals who have seen the many faces that come into the Mukinge Mission Hospital in desperate need of nutrition and care. They need just a few things to get them on their feet, namely electricity and a vehicle.
