Chief Expresses Gratitude for food relief
Food relief was distributed at Chidi village (near Kabanga) this week. The village leader expressed his gratitude to the donors who have given generously to feed this hungry community. More help is needed as families struggle to make it through until the harvest begins in late March/April. Donate online at zambiamission.org/hunger
Thanksgiving for Food Relief
These ladies sang and danced to show their appreciation for mealie meal they received from Namwianga's food relief team.
Drawing Water
The drought in southern Zambia has dried up many rivers and streams that rural communities rely on as water sources. Women are usually the ones who must travel long distances to collect water. Namwianga leader Shadreck Sibwaalu found these women using a hand-dug shallow well near Kabanga last Sunday. Zambia Mission Fund is seeking $6,000 in funding to drill a well at this site in October. Find out more about well-drilling efforts and donate online at www.zambiamission.org/water
Drip Irrigation is one way Zambia Mission Fund is addressing the problem of hunger in Zambia. This system uses minimal water to grow plants year round and is effective during drought situations. Please consider partnering with us and donate $25 to set up a drip irrigation system for a family. www.zambiamission.org/hunger

Hunger has a FACE, a NAME, and a STORY. We may not know the names of the hungry, but Jesus knows each one, and Jesus knows their stories. There are thousands of hungry faces, names, and stories in southern Zambia. The area had the lowest recorded rainfall in 46 years, and crops have failed. Many people are now resorting to eating wild fruits and roots. $250,000 will be needed to provide food, dig water wells, and teach drip irrigation—just to keep people alive until next year when the rains come. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FEED THE HUNGRY. And right now you can double your gift, thanks to a matching donation of $62,000.

Meagan Hawley shared this video of the wonderful women who work at The Haven. They love the Haven children like their own, they sacrifice to make sure the children get the care they need, and they share their love and friendship with the Americans who work with them. And they do it all with the joy of the Lord. Thank you, God, for these amazing women!
Beautiful singing at Sunday morning Lectureship.

Kasibi Church of Christ greeters
Visitors to Namwianga receive a warm welcome when they visit the nearby community of Kasibi. Church members greeted the Harding University speech pathology group (HIZPath) with an enthusiastic song.
The George Benson Christian College chapel program features one of the college singing groups each Friday. The selected group begins the program by singing as they move down the aisle to the stage. Shown in this video is the Christan Leadership Development Program male choir.
Lectureship crowd
The annual Namwianga lectureship drew over 4,000 Christians from all over Zambia this weekend. There is no building on campus large enough to hold that many people, so the crowd gathered outside in the high school quadrangle for Sunday morning worship. As we gather today in America, may we add our voices to theirs in praise to the Father.
Dr. McLarty at Namwianga
The Golden Sparrows singing group from George Benson Christian College greeted Harding Universty’s President Bruce McLarty and his wife Ann as they arrived at Namwianga last Sunday. Dr. McLarty has had a busy week of meeting with mission personnel, speaking and teaching, and observing various mission ministries. Harding University has three programs that send American students to Namwianga: HIZ - Harding in Zambia (study abroad), HIZ Path (speech pathology), and HUPT (physical therapy).
ZMM Children's Ministry
Children who arrive at the clinics for Zambia Medical Mission can get more than medical care. The children's ministry presents Bible stories, puppet skits, games, and other activities to help young ones learn the love of Jesus. And they SING!

Lots of photos of Zambia Medical Mission 2015 are posted at zambiamission.org.
Here is a video from Mark Broadway:
The children's classes that are conducted during the medical mission accomplish many things. We go out of our way to ensure that those needing medical attention receive it, but for the remainder of the time, it is always valuable to have the children occupied;-)
