We made it to Zambia

We have finally arrived in Zambia and the Lord has surrounded us with goodness. Good people, beautiful surroundings, great weather, and delicious food. We are so thankful to be here!

After 48 hours here 2 things stand out to us the most: the incredible people that make up Flying Mission Zambia, and the immense amount of work there is to do.

FMZ (Flying Mission Zambia) is made up of people who love the Lord by working hard everyday for Him and loving the local people who come in their path. There is such a diverse group of people --mostly European working here. Gabrielle picked us up from the airport and has been showing us around town--she is American. Ernst and Susi take care of us in the guesthouse--they are Swiss and their assistant Esther is Zambian. Roger maintains the buildings and is the jack-of-all-trades and his wife Sally has a full schedule of outreaches to the local kids and adults--they are Brits.

Bryan, the director of FMZ gave us a tour of the property and showed us how quickly God is growing the ministry here. He is literally crying out to God "send more workers!" It will take a lot of money and a lot of hard work to finish the current hangar project and he is totally relying on God for every penny. What God has provided so far in a small amount of time is incredible. Bryan is American and his wife Di is British.

We also met 2 of the pilot/mechanics. Rick is stationed at another base south of here--he is an Aussie. Tonight we had dinner with Joel and Sue--they are Midwesterners, but raised in Africa. Then there are some short-termers, Brits and Germans. Several Zambian families live on the property and FMZ at any given time employs 30 Zambians for special projects.

We have pictures to share but have some kinks to work out before we can put them out on the blog. Hope to have some for you soon.

Take care! Adam and Carrie
