Katima

I'm currently sitting in an internet cafe in Katima, Namibia. It's about the farthest north east that you can go in the country! We don't have the same cell phone and internet access that we have in Windhoek, so you'll have to forgive how little I've been able to update. We head back to Windhoek on the 13th or 14th so things should even out then and I can put up some pictures! :D After about 20 hours of driving over the course of two days we made it to Katima. We're staying at the Cheshire Home for physically disabled children for our ten days here. It's an incredible place! The kids are so sweet and love to play with us. It's a Catholic home that doubles as a hostel for travelers. We were so happy to have somewhere to stay. Yesterday was our first Namibian church experience. It was FANTASTIC! They didn't know that we were coming but were so welcoming. They had each of us stand up and give our testimony (which was nerve-wrecking bu awesome), and since there were 13 of us with the Namibians that are on our team now it took a while and that replaced the planned sermon. We'll teach our abstinence program at the same church tomorrow night. Please pray for that and that they would really hear from the Lord. The HIV/AIDS rate here is unbelievable, they really need to hear the program we're teaching on Biblical relationships and marriage. Also, pray that we'll be able to go to at least one school for the program while we're here. It's hard being here without a plan but that's faith, right?! We're just kind of calling around and waiting to see who will let us speak. My team is so great and getting along really well. Please continue to pray for unity amongst us and for the language barrier. Most know english, but African english and American english tend to be a little different. Thanks for keeping up with me on this trip and praying for you! I can't wait to update you again with pictures!! :D
