New Day Field Trip!!

Busy times at New Day! We currently have 3 friends from Clanton, Alabama visiting for a week! Mandie, Christy, and Sonya have all been to Zambia over 4 times each so it doesn't feel like a volunteer team as much as it just feels like having some friends visit! Yesterday we took our first field trip at New Day! We all dressed in our new blue shirts and headed about 20 miles away to the Mbawofa Agriculture Show. It was similar to a county fair in the USA with dancing, ceremonies, sports, and booths. The neatest part was that they gave New Day a spot in the program, and our children performed The Redeemer Drama, an evangelistic play, and then Michelle shared the Gospel! Afterwards, several people came up to Elizabeth with potential orphans for New Day, so we will be busy with orphan visits in the coming weeks! Please pray for wisdom for Elizabeth and others going on these visits! Enjoy the pics! Big Girl Axer :)

Ben was so proud to carry Nick's backpack around all day :)

Blu getting some Christina love :)

These were the grass booths set up to sell local grown items! So neat!

We were so shocked to come upon one booth that was decorated with some of the windsocks made at last week's VBS!! Apparently the seller's children had attended and she thought it made a good booth decoration :)

This was the group painted with spears who danced to greet the chief. Wes then drove the chief in his truck to the ceremony.
