I apologize for not posting pictures on this blog. The process was a bit beyond my abilities and burdening Amber or Jako for each post was not something I was willing to do.
It is my prayer that you were able to participate through these posts. It is my hope that you felt the needs for prayer and support. It can’t be overstated how important you are to this mission. If you are reading this right now, you were an integral part of this team whether your boots touched African soil or not.
When you see someone from this team, be aware that it is difficult to put into words what this experience was like. It can’t be summed up in a few minutes of conversation as we make our way out of Sunday school, or prepare to worship, even stop for a chat at work. There is a process of reintegration for people who have been on a cross-cultural mission, even if it was just a few weeks. We are changed. We are different. And, we may never be the same. We will carry this experience with us forever, and at times, it can get heavy. For those who are interested in helping us with our burden, you simply have to listen. Take the time to make the time to hear what we have to say. We want to share it, and while it is heavy it can lift us up to heights we were never even aware we could achieve. Isn’t God like that?
God bless you for loving us and the people of the Mission of Love in Zambia!
In faith,
Ed
