Missionaries go back to Zambia

Please pray for Jako and Amber as they go back to Zambia on October 21st - Their email...

Jako and I wanted to ask for your prayers once again as we get ready to depart for Zambia early this Sat. Oct 21st. Depending on how things go there we plan to be there between 2 to 3 weeks with our main task of being to check on the paperwork for the orphanage and continue to do what needed on that. We also hope to be able to have the time to find and purchase another 8 -10 cattle, and continue on some of the building projects in Mukamba, esp. finishing the store room. Please pray for God's hand of protection, traveling mercies, grace with the officials, and guidance over all we say and do this outreach. Since we are leaving for the States not long after we return it is important that we get things ready and in a good place for us to leave for two months (esp. since it is during the start of their rainy season). For those that don't know, Amber's mother is getting remarried early Jan (after being a widow for 14 years) and they are flying us over for the wedding and the holidays. It will be a wonderful time spent with family and will also give us good chances to reconnect with supporters in the States as well. Needless to say, this outreach is an important one in order to get things ready for our absence. Thanks so much for your prayers, encouragement, and continued support.

We thank God for you often and the role that you play in the ministry,
with much appreciation and excitement,
Jako and Amber Joubert
Mission Of Love Community Orphanage

September Update from the Jouberts

September 3 - 16th Jako and Amber were in Zambia.

The primary goal was to complete paperwork for registering the Orphanage as a non-profit organization and to obtain residential work permits. After days of getting the run around requiring a Constitution for the orphanage and the title to the tribes Orphanage property their spirits were dashed. They could not even apply for residential work VISAs without the Orphanage being registered. The local Government required money in order to meet to discuss the needs and see the land. In despair, a miracle happened. The Chief was in Livingstone and Jako and Amber was able to meet with them (see picture with the Chief wearing red). The Cheif invited to his Palace in the village and promised to introduce him to some high Government officials to help with the Orphanage registration.

During the weekend they spent the time in Mukamba at Church and in amazement at the work that the local Tribe had completed. The Tonga tribe had completed 400 more bricks. Over the next few days while getting supplies the local folks dug the foundation for a storeroom. Also while there they completed a covering for the goat pen, the goats had kids and they brought there new puppies Courage and Victory to the Orphanage property where they will stay (see the slide show).

Prayer Reqest from Jako and Amber:
Please continue to pray for:
*The paperwork that needs doing and that it would go to the correct people that will help us get all that we need to live in Zambia.
*For the Chief that he will be seeking God’s guidance and not any one else’s
*For the three witch doctors (at the Chief's ceremony) that God would touch their hearts and open their eyes.
*For the orphanage project in all of its ways.
*For Amber and Jako for their health.
*For Petros and his family.
*For the farm that every thing we grow or raise will be to the glory of God.
