Alabama Team Days 1-3

The Clanton, Alabama team is here! In 2005, First Baptist Church in Clanton began a partnership with the Wilcoxes in Zambia. As a result, their church has made numerous trips to Zambia over the years! Josh - 8 trips, Kevin - 3 trips, Ethan - 2 trips, Steve & Trish -5 trips, Linlee - 2 trips, Melinda - 2 trips, Sonya - 3 trips, and Grace - first trip! They are old pros at ministry here and are always very eager to get out and spread Jesus to villages around us!

Our internet has been down, which has affected my blogging, but here are some pics for you to see what they have been up to at New Day! And I promise that Steve & Ethan are here, even though I don't have any picture proof :)

On the bus to New Day!

Blu's scared face - Wes was driving!

Pizza stop on the way to New Day!

This team has been to Zambia MANY times, so they are foregoing the Victoria Falls trip. Instead, they stopped at a small craft market on the way for some souvenirs!

Cambree, Gertrude, and Axer ready to welcome the team!

I love this picture!!! Josh and his family lived at New Day for 3 months in 2011, and the kids couldn't wait to give him a hug!!

Neither could Mulenga!

See our pretty New Day road!

This is my favorite picture ever a volunteer (Trish) has taken!!! They found a bat up in a tree - don't you feel like this image should be on Survivor or something?!

Every morning, the team is spending 3 hours in the villages around Kabanga - visiting huts, sharing the Gospel, and praying with people! Here is one team starting their hike into the bush!

In the afternoons all the women are staying behind and helping the New Day kids with library time, music and art class, and playground time! The kids love Grace!
