<span style="color: red;"><i><b>God's love turns ordinary indinary individuals like us with all sorts of differences in to one family, diverse but dedicated to each other. It overcomes division and overlooks differences. It never demands uniformity but always brings unity. So, "beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God." </b></i></span><br />

Therefore we actually celebrate Christmas for everyone when they return for school in mid January. <br />
We have church in the morning with the Christmas story, songs of praise and prayer. It is a special time of worship especially since some of the older children come and join us. <br />
<br />
Luke 2: 9-14 <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terribly frightened, but the angel reassured them. 'Don't be afraid!' he said, 'I bring you good news of great joy for everyone! The Savior -- yes, the Messiah, the Lord -- has been born tonight in Bethlehem, the city of David! And this is how you will recognize him: You will find a baby lying in a manger, wrapped snugly in srips of cloth!'</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of other -- the armies of heaven -- praising God: </b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to all whom God favors'" </b></i></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: black;">As you probably know, Zion provides food for over 100 orphans in the village of Mafuta. They are served by a total of 10 ladies who volunteer their time 5 days a week to have these children come and partake of a hot and healthy meal. Maybe the only one of the day. They do not have a fancy place to cook or fancy plates but they have a fire and big pots and a heart of love!!! Never selfish but humble as they work hard to provide some nourishment for children so they can think and not be hungry at school.</span></b></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">In January a Mt Zion UMC team from Maryland was able to raise enough money to build a new school. The preschool, which serves over 50 children, was really run down and full of bats and the remains of bats running down the walls. No matter what we did, we could not get rid of this little creatures. </span></b><br />

<b> So, we ask the 2 local churches to be involved to choose people in the community to work. These would be people that were not employeed so it provided an opportunity to be involved in a money making project for the orphans of their commumity! It was a HUGE success!! They did a great job, earned money and the new preschool is BEAUTIFUL!!! The children can come and learn and eat and sing praises!!!</b><br />

he is Christ the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.  Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”</font></em></strong></p> <p>Many of the children that have extended family return to them for the long school holidays which includes, over Christmas.  So, we have Christmas on December 25 for those that are here.  Then we have an additional celebration with gifts from wonderful people from the USA when the ones on holiday return.  This is always a blessed time of reunion of the older ones and celebration of the birth of Christ, great food, gifts and conversation.  We were thankful to have Deborah and Ray Mastnjak here for the holiday from the Board of Zion USA!!!!</p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--htTgWnuNWI/WRcB5zyTJ4I/AAAAAAAAHLM/8Njaf-IrOR0H00N6ipdf5Qj50MymwCmswCHM/s1600-h/2017-01-08%2B12.29.58%2B%2528640x360%2529%255B3%255D"><img title="2017-01-08 12.29.58 (640x360)" style="border-top: 0px;

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Matthew 1:23-25 <span style="color: red;">“</span></span></b><i><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: small;">Listen! The virgin shall conceive a child! She shall give birth to a Son, and He shall be called ‘Emmanuel’ meaning God is with us. When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel commanded, and brought Mary home to be his wife, but she remained a virgin until her Son was born; and Joseph named him Jesus.”</span></b> </span></i><br />
This is our seventh Christmas Day in Africa. We will always miss the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ with our family but we are so blessed to continue to celebrate His birth in Namibia. We have had a tradition that we cook for Christmas for the staff and children and families that are nearby. <br />

Usually we have cooked a somewhat traditional American dinner (minus the turkey that we can only get by spending too much money).<br />
This year we did a traditional braai outside by the river. We had game meat, fresh corn from the Zion garden and vegetable pasta salad! Delicious! Different from what we have in the USA but delicious here! We cooked outside on the fire and put the traditional mats on the ground by the beautiful river. <br />
Travis started with a message from the Bible about the birth of Jesus and how He came to save the world, including us. <br />

He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. Life itself was in Him, and this life gives light to everyone. The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: black;">Each year, close to Christmas, we deliver food to villages to help them remember the meaning of Christmas. We tell the Christmas story, sing a couple songs and pray with whoever is there. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: black;">When we have children remaining in our village, which we always do, we take them with us to also tell them that is better to give than to receive. We try to get them to participate in the celebration but sometimes they are a bit shy when they are really little. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: black;"> We know they are learning and praise God to supply us what we need and provide for us so that we can give to others!!!!</span></b></span><br />

Our children on property come, the staff children that live nearby come and now, <b>about 30 children from the nearby village come</b>. It is SO exciting to see them singing praise songs in English (not their language). A couple times of year we started to do a “pageant” where the staff and families are invited. It is exciting to see them “perform” and speak English and Silozi and sing and be excited about Jesus!!!!! This time was a performance on the Bible Story of Jesus Feeds the 5000 in John. <br />
<b>John 6:5-14 </b><i><span style="color: red;">When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.</span></i><br />

<i><span style="color: red;">Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!” </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, bot how far will they go among so many?” </span></i><br />

<i><span style="color: red;">Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there.) Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. </span></i><br />

The first stop was Okatjikona.  We arrived late and still had to cook so we quickly put together spaghetti with viennas.   We ate and found our way to our cabin or tent where we spent 2 nights.  Early the next morning we were up cooking breakfast for the 70 people that were there and hungry.  Soon after the clean up the hikes up the big rocky mountain began.  The smaller ones went first while the bigger ones watched the movies about the animals and the place they were staying.  We went up so far we could see a lot of Namibia and it was spectacular!!!!  God’s creation.  </p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vlmwlgKLzGY/VzmPY0VPxyI/AAAAAAAAG14/ppU1Iz1jyZI/s1600-h/DSCN7321-640x4697.jpg"><img title="DSCN7321 (640x469)" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="DSCN7321 (640x469)" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BMvHtmcKNyc/VzmPaBBv39I/AAAAAAAAG18/dtmWWGc-d0U/DSCN7321-640x469_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="180" /></a>      <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-y6dJR0TlcRA/VzmPeePbcDI/AAAAAAAAG2A/P5g-wPqUKus/s1600-h/P1160587-640x4723.jpg"><img title="P1160587 (640x472)" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1160587 (640x472)" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Gb_USs_kCnE/VzmPfoUrjoI/AAAAAAAAG2E/3QdC4fM15M0/P1160587-640x472_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="181" /></a>      <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zwZgOOzFI4E/VzmPh6FanlI/AAAAAAAAG2I/Npez2EbZ3YY/s1600-h/P1160591-640x4803.jpg"><img title="P1160591 (640x480)" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1160591 (640x480)" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zIaQEYCoxDc/VzmPjGKl7PI/AAAAAAAAG2M/t0uN5828O4Q/P1160591-640x480_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j_llzD2qjhY/VzmPlSGGYyI/AAAAAAAAG2Q/1zIJmwTb7HI/s1600-h/P1160636-478x6404.jpg"><img title="P1160636 (478x640)" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1160636 (478x640)" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QR22XDMkKXQ/VzmPm0ZtkeI/AAAAAAAAG2U/IZ_CLrp7rdU/P1160636-478x640_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="136" height="181" /></a>        <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M_0ZYsCZF_A/VzmPp7M5f8I/AAAAAAAAG2Y/e9KwJ-kn2FE/s1600-h/P1160655-640x4583.jpg"><img title="P1160655 (640x458)" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1160655 (640x458)" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-otSxcfKqnV0/VzmProqIFrI/AAAAAAAAG2c/CcT2UJZmYzk/P1160655-640x458_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="176" /></a>       <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d-4b4hbbHAw/VzmPudaTDAI/AAAAAAAAG2g/RJSO0176rcM/s1600-h/P1160706-640x4783.jpg"><img title="P1160706 (640x478)" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="P1160706 (640x478)" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5ls_7cM3BAo/VzmPvouKs7I/AAAAAAAAG2k/6JK06E4g6QI/P1160706-640x478_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="183" /></a></p> <p>After a big and hard climb up and down, we cooked lunch and took the children to the pool.  Well, the pool was very nice but the water was VERY COLD!!!

An angel of the Lord appeared dtothem, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraie. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the hightest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” </i></span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;">We are celebrating our 6th Christmas in a row in Namibia at Children of Zion Village. We certainly miss being with family, especially this time of year but we are blessed by God’s grace and for all of you who pray for Zion and support Zion and us! You make us especially joyful! </span><br />
We had many Christmas parties already since the children and staff go on holiday but we will continue to celebrate the birth of Christ even into the Christmas party for the children when they return. We are keeping 2 little ones (one year and two years) over the holiday. We did have one of the older girls but she decided to attend a church camp that lasts until after New Year. We are happy for her and know she is making lots of friends and having a great time. <br />

It has been very different having the little ones. Certainly changes our “schedule” (even though our schedule really changes almost every day). Just not used to getting up and changing and making bottles… We are blessed in they are joyful children and the 2 year old really makes us laugh!! <br />
I made Christmas Casserole for all the staff working and for our ministry partners. We gathered at our house for prayer, the Christmas story and eating! It was a nice fellowship time together. <br />
Immediately after cleaning up from breakfast we started lunch. Everyone helped, even the little ones! We were so blessed with delicious vegetables from the garden. It was quite a feast! Fresh corn right off the stalk, greens, onion, tomato, and also ham and sweet potatoes, not from the garden. Very Blessed!<br />

We enjoyed a small gift exchange with our ministry partners. We were also blessed to have wonderful friends from the neighborhood where we used to live in Atlanta. Last year their daughter, Olivia, cleaned out her stuffed animals and sent them to Africa for the children. Most of them were handed out to the children at the feeding center last year. But we kept a few that required batteries thinking that they would not have batteries. There were exactly 3 and there were 3 little ones here. Purity and Elias especially appreciated the talking, singing Care Bears! <br />

On Wednesday 2 December we celebrated all of the learners at Zion Mission School. Everyone received a cheer when their name was called and they came forward to collect their school report. The top (ones that completed the most books – PACES) were given a special prize award. It was a great day of encouragement and rewards and some were disappointed so maybe they will work harder next year. See you all next year! Enjoy your holiday and read a few books!<br />
Hip Hip Hooray!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!! <br />

Then the grade 7’s decided to give the teachers “special” awards! They could do this since they will be going out next year for grade 8. So, some were funny, some were nice. For example, the teacher that is the best dressed, the teacher that is the prettiest, the teacher that is most scary, the teacher that is the funniest, the teacher most quiet, the teacher most talkative, the sleepy head teacher, and the most kind teacher. <br />
FUN and Blessings abound and we give God the glory!!!tlcinhisservicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16772886326933941668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278999035788348815.post-25164321334649798002015-12-01T06:29:00.000-08:002015-12-20T07:11:01.396-08:00Thank you and farewell to our ministry partners<br />
Our ministry partners here at Children of Zion, Lena and Johannes and Elias Ebner will be leaving Zion on January 6. They feel they are being called into another field of ministry. To disciple the people that have not heard about Jesus. Maybe church planting. Johannes is studying to become a pastor. They do not yet know where they will be serving but they have a heart for Africa so they are looking into area that need their talents. We will miss them and the help they have been to us here but we know when God calls you out or in, you must go. Thank you to Lena and Johannes for everything you have given to Zion Village staff, children, community and us!!! You will be missed. <br />

Please!?!?<p>It is the time of year when the temperatures are 90 and above.  The breeze might blow but it is a hot one!  So the ongoing question is, “Can we go swimming?”  Please!!!!  We keep checking the local pool but it has been closed for some time.  They said it would be open this week, but, it did not.  So, off to the river we go!  The river is very low now so we go to a big area where you can see the bottom and even the little ones can wade in the water.  They have so much fun with such a simple, no cost activity that it is a blessing!!!  So, off we go!!!!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XGeKjCbQE2w/Vf6490mJ8nI/AAAAAAAAGWk/KjZcMadPVrw/s1600-h/P1120467%252520%252528480x640%252529%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="P1120467 (480x640)" style="border-top: 0px;
