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.
