Michael picked me up in Lusaka the evening of the 30th of April from my stateside visit and it was so good to see him. I wish he could have traveled also but he felt he needed to stay back. One of our older boys at House of Faith was very sick and was in and out of the hospital several times and we almost lost him. We know the Lord touched him and brought him back to us for a purpose. Please keep Chimuka in your prayers he is getting better with each passing day. I was so blessed to know Michael was here doing everything the house moms needed to have done in my absence.
May 1st in Lusaka we shopped for food for a team of 12's arrival on the 6th of May so I started back in a full run so to say :) we traveled back to Kalomo the same day a 5 hour journey. I spent a day preparing rooms with sheets towels blankets and cooking ahead a few meals for their arrival. Jet lag was not to bad this time back I am so thankful for that. This next picture is of teams arrival. Please go to our Noah Ministries Facebook page for team pictures and all the excitement they brought to the children.

This is a picture of Chimuka when I visited him in the Hospital when I returned. We both cried when we gave each other a hug and I thanked the Lord for saving him. Chimuka is HIV positive he had some problems with diarrhea early April and was admitted twice to Kalomo Hospital for IVs. He started having joint pain in his knees and could not walk without help. Michael and House moms Benita and Rita rushed him to Zimba Mission Hospital about 2 1/2 hours away. They ran a lot of tests and everything came back negative. Dr. Joan Jones started an IV with an antibiotic the next few days and he looked worst but then he made a turn for good. He was there for almost two full weeks and we Praise God for the care he was given by staff and our house moms. He is recovering slowly and is still out of school but we see progress everyday and thank the Lord for his touch. The picture below he is at home and recovering you can see he is starting to better each day. Keep Chimuka in your prayers please....
Michael was very busy while I was away in April visiting several churches and an outreach far from the main road. He also gave the message at John Howard on Mens Sunday. It is always great to see how the Lord has blessed his people. I remembered going there in the early 90's to a small group of believers and today they have added on to the church and have over 800 in attendance.
The door has been opened for Sheri to go back to the states and work on her Masters in Education. Her flight departed Zambia while our big team was here :( She came out to tell us all goodbye.... Everyone will miss her here. Please keep her in your prayers as she takes yet another step in life.
The team helped the children harvest their maize or corn! What a wonderful day it was. All the pictures are with the team pictures on Facebook. Royal is at another slow spot he is sitting better alone and is still working on his crawling, his knees and feet need to move a bit more together. Thank you for keeping him in your prayers.
