EXCITING NEWS!!!!

No, we don't have Zesco yet.. :) BUT we do have some other exciting news!! Elizabeth (our social worker) is going to the USA!!!! Her sponsors, Lance & Staci, contacted us this week about wanting to sponsor her to come to America and visit and do some speaking/fundraising! So, Lord willing, she will be in the USA from June 6 to July 5!

Elizabeth is a godly young woman with a powerful testimony that we hope she will have many opportunities to share on her trip! She will be an amazing ambassador for New Day, and we are so grateful that God has provided this opportunity for her through Lance & Staci!

Please pray that everything will go SMOOTHLY and QUICKLY for her Zambian passport and US visa so that she can leave on June 5th!!!

And she was just a LITTLE bit excited when we told her the news... :)

Lance & Staci met Elizabeth 2 years ago when they came on a mission trip, and they asked if they could sponsor her when she came to work at New Day. Here is Lance, holding Purity, Elizabeth's niece who lives with her at New Day.

So we acted as if she were in trouble and told her we needed to talk to her about an issue, because we found a sheet of paper with her name on it and needed her to tell us what it meant! (The paper actually had her to do list for getting her passport and visa!) This was her face when the realization set in...

She jumped up and looked at Wes to see if it was true!

Tears after the smiles :)
