Home to one of the seven natural wonders of the world - the Victoria Falls
Also, tragically, home to thousands of orphans.
The Lord has made it clear that He wants us in Livingstone to care for some of these precious children, which will probably include taking some into our home and building an orphanage for others.
The way the Lord has brought this about is almost unbelievable. It is something that we could not have orchestrated or even imagined, not in our wildest dreams!! Gary and I have looked at each other several times over the last few months and asked 'Is this really happening?'
1 Corinthians 2:9
No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love Him.
Back in July working with orphans hadn't even crossed our minds, now just 4 months later we are preparing to move. Possibly as early as February.
I will put the whole story on the blog in the next day or two (we are in London right now renewing passports!!). But for now I will leave you with some faces of Zambian orphans that I found on You Tube.

Wow my friend, that sounds absolutely fantastic. I have to add that I am a wee bit envious :) Oh how I LOVE Africa.
PLEASE share the journey when you have a minute. I would LOVE to hear how God got you to this place. Also, post some prayer requests so we can get behind you in prayer.
Sooooo exited for you.
