I say “En-sahm-bee-yah”, you say “Zambia” (Update 1 of 2)


On Monday we got to spend a good part of the day at Nsambya Children’s Home with Mama Susan and the children who live there. We distributed gifts from sponsors, as well as custom embroidered shirts and dresses for the kids made by our friend “Grandma C.” in New Mexico. The kids were so delighted with their new clothes, which come with little cards stating that they are loved by Jesus and that they are being prayed for.

Casey did a long video interview with Mama Susan, footage which is very rare, as it is extremely difficult to get Mama Susan to sit still long enough to be filmed! She is so humble, but has lots of wisdom to share, and a profound and impacting life story. The footage will be used for several upcoming video projects, including footage for Lahash’s first fundraising banquet in November. We are hoping that Mama Susan’s health and visa will permit her to come be the keynote speaker at that event. Please pray for favor as her visa is being considered and for strength and good health as she has been very ill the past few months, although much recovered now. (Also, if you are interested in attending the banquet, please contact Mandi at mstonehouse@lahash.net for details on sponsoring a table.)
