Update on Eunice

Last September, I posted a story about a little girl named Eunice. She attended Camp LIFE last year for the very first time and was clearly in desperate need of health care and nutrition. At the age of 10 and a mere 32 pounds, it was evident that her life may be ending needlessly short without immediate intervention.

God, in His endless grace, mercy, and provision, gave Eunice a new home at the Tree of Life Children's Village where she is thriving! Seeing her this summer - for the first time since I helped her family stay in their home last July - was truly a blessing because she looks like a whole new child.

A year ago, she was frail, tiny, visibly sick, and lacking the beautiful innocence and hope that comes with childhood.



Today, though she is still small, she is a child filled with life and joy. Her new home at the Tree of Life has truly transformed her into a happy, hopeful, and healthy child. She is receiving an education, medication, proper nutrition, the love of a family, and most importantly, the knowledge of her Savior Jesus Christ - the one who will perform the ultimate transformation in her life. Here are a few pictures of Eunice today...







 "Father to the fatherless, this is God.
He places the lonely in families and gives them joy!"
Psalm 68:5 - 6

All Things Become NEW!

After a busy spring preparing for 670 Americans to join us in Zambia for the summer, packing 9 shipping containers full of supplies for Camp LIFE, our new schools, and 9 new homes at the Tree of life, and finally 2 incredible months in Zambia, I am finding my way back to the blog!

To get things started again, here are a few favorite photos from my time in Zambia and some of our NEW things we got to celebrate this summer.
