A few things......

C.C. Philly will be going to El Salvador once again. The dates are Dec. 27th - Jan. 5th. El Salvador is one of the countries where we will be involved in for long term ministry - ie. multiple trips a year that are open for the body to participate in. We are partnering with C.C. San Salvador, and will be coming along side of their multiple church plants that are in remote villages and towns throughout the country. Ministry will include music ministry, evangelism and drama, and various construction projects. If you have any questions, or feel like the Lord may be directing you, please see Trevor, Rob Paoletti, or myself for more information.

Also, please feel free to check out www.dropshots.com/ccphillymissions

This will be a page where everyone can look at recent pictures and video from our past mission trips. Right now we just have our last Sr. High trip to Zambia, but in the next couple of days I will add El Salvador pictures, and pictures from the College and Career trip to Montreal.

Lastly, I just wanted to give an update on one of our prayer requests for our Zambia trip - "Rosa" our ministry vehicle while in Zambia hasn't started in a couple of months and the village of Kasempa has NO mechanics at all. I spoke with Ron Wint yesterday, and he said he got the bus to start, but it is far from being fixed. Please pray that the Lord will give Ron wisdom on what may be wrong, and that He would provide the means to fix the problem. Ron and Bridget have less than a week to fix the problem so that they can drive the 14 hours to come and get us in Lusaka! Please continue to pray.

Blessings,

11 days to go.......

Like the title states, we have 11 days before leaving for our medical missions trip to Zambia. The dates are Nov. 1st - 15th. Our team consists of 4 nurses, 1 optometrist, 2 pastors, and 3 support people. We'll be conducting free medical clinics in the outlining villages of the Kasempa district in the North West Province of Zambia. While the villagers are waiting to be treated a full presentation of the gospel will be given, with opportunities for prayer and the handing out of Bibles and other literature. (That's what it is all about right !) The clinics will be held in local churches so when people get saved, we plug them in at the church where they are at. We'll also be hosting a 3 day Inductive Bible Study workshop lead by Pastor Harry Presly from CC Bellmawr, and a Pastors Conference where local Pastors and church leaders from all denominations can come and hear the Word of God taught verse by verse. The website for Ron and Bridget Wint of Lumba Christian Ministries our missionaries on the field) is
http://www.lumba.homestead.com/ if you want more information on what else is going on there.

I'll post all of the things that are happening in Kasempa, Zambia with Lumba Christian Ministries (orphanage, school of ministry, farm, radio station) when we get back from our trip. Please continue to check back for pictures of our trip, and for posts / prayer requests while we're in Zambia. We need your prayers ! Below is a list of things we are currently asking you guys to lift before our Father.

Oh yeah - the pic's are from our last medical trip to Zambia - March, 07
