ARRIVED!

We have arrived in Zambia and have Internet and phones...hallelujah! However, the word 'patience' comes to mind when we finally make connection.

When leaving Dulles International Airport, we sat on the runway for about two hours because of weather in the New York area. So that put us that many hours behind for our intracontinent flight. We barely made our connection in Jo'burg and of course to be expected...no luggage arrived! I'm thankful to report that ALL of our luggage arrived the next day without any problems. Our thanks to Bro Derrick Luvila for his help in collecting us at the airport and collecting our luggage the next day.

We've had a difficult adjusting to the time difference...but seem to be getting the hang of it now. Our first service was in Chawama, Pastor and Sister Benjamin M. Daka. Two (2) received the Holy Ghost and he later reported that four (4) were baptized in Jesus' Name! Praise God for His goodness.

Continue to remember Sis Eunice Mwanza, our national treasurer's wife, for healing. She is presently in the hospital with what they are diagnosing as kidney failure. However, she is also having trouble breathing and is on oxygen at times. We know that God is able to heal!

Blessings to you today!

Abernathys Returning to Zambia

Hello! Just wanted everyone to know that we are headed back to Zambia on Friday, 17 July! Your prayers are greatly appreciated as we endeavor to cross the 'big pond' (Atlantic Ocean) one more time.



We are both excited, yet realise leaving our family will cause emotional distress as we are sitting on the plane for 23 + hours and recall all the wonderful times we have shared during this furlough. However, the scripture says "I can do all things through Christ who stenghtens me."
