Wow, what a fabulous experience! We saw a beautiful land of trees, open savannah, the "bush" and very strange and interesting critters. My favorite was this very cool chameleon. I named him "George" and I put him in one of the trees near the place where I was staying so I could visit him regularly. So cool...
But the best thing of all were the interactions with the wonderful people, particularly the children. We were so touched by the smiles of the kids...
Our interactions with the churches in the community were also fabulous. We saw in them a deep and fervent love for God that was so encouraging to us.
By God's grace and enabling we hope to visit them again next year.
Thanks to the generous people of Garland Church as well as many individuals who invested to send our team to Zambia so that we can see if and how we might be of service to them.
May the Lord allow us to continue to serve!
Lookin' Up, Pastarod

Darcy called him Fred the Chameleon in her Facebook photo album. I actually thought it said we "fried the chameleon" at first. I feel much better knowing he was personified rather than foodified.
By the way, I love that G.K. quote. G.K. is my homeboy.
Deanna, yes, Darcy called him Fred but his name is actually George, as in, "I will hug him and pet him and call him George." But, he is a very intelligent chameleon and has demonstrated his extensive capability at operating under several aliases.
George was much more intelligent than the dopey grasshopper!
I ditto what Rod wrote. Our time with the church leaders was definitely one of my highlights! It's so amazing to think we serve the same God in our western American world as they serve. What a beautiful thing!
