Teaming Together

Team season is in full swing, and for the last few weeks, we have had the joy of hosting several teams. One of those teams was fromUnion Hill Baptist Church in Purcell, Oklahoma. Lance and Staci Norton, and Madison and MacKenzie Gilham made up the team. We are so thankful for their willingness to come half way around the world to minister to our children, our staff, and help with outreach to a new area where we are hoping to plant a church.

MacKenzie, Madison, Lance and Staci arrived at New Day on May 23.

Below are some pictures of the ministry that the team was involved in during their time at New Day. Thanks Lance, Staci, Madison, and MacKenzie for coming to work with us at New Day.


The children taught Staci, MacKenzie, and Madison how to play "Sheep, Sheep, Please Come Home." I think Staci (in the back) is one of the lions who is catching Muchoni, one of the sheep.



MacKenzie holding Christina on the left, and Madison holding Axer on the right, were loved by all the children! They spent several days helping out in the school with P.E., Art, Music, Skills, and Tutorials.

Each afternoon, the team went out with staff from New Day to do survey-evangelism in a new area known as Nabukowa. Mulenga, Elizabeth, MacKenzie and Lance were one of the teams that went village to village talking to the people about Jesus.

The team lead the staff in some team building activities. Here we had to follow the leader blindfolded. I felt safe holding onto Wes.

After a wonderful week of ministry, we headed for Livingstone to show the team the wonderful sights of Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. A day trip to Chobe, Botswana was one of the fun things we did together.
