Monday, Aug 17

After 38 hours of non-stop travel, we finally made it to Macha, Zambia. What a beautiful place! We are so excited to spend the week here. We immediately went to dinner at Eric and Corie Thuma's home, but we didn't make it past all the kids playing soccer and volleyball at the Push The Rock Zambia compound where their home is located. It was on! We didn't come here to eat a nice meal and get a good nights sleep (although Corie Thuma did make one of the best dinners I've eaten in Africa). We came here for the people. As our team talked, laughed, and played with these kids -we knew those 38 hours were worth it. Cross-cultural ministry is not simply traveling to a different country -that is not enough. Presence is not enough. Cross-cultural ministry is when you actually love and engage the people.
