Tuesday July 12

My sincerest apologies. We have been out of touch for several days, and I had no real way to see it myself. Operating with only a satellite phone in a place with no electricity, and usually working in the middle-of-the-night on US-Time means our communication is sparse at best.

I am trying to work out the glitches, and will attempt to verify my postings this week.

Three important things.

1 Many of the last postings appeared all at once, so you may wish to start part way down the list and work up. Also, I may not be able to get the photo files on until later today, so you may see a posting that has a missing photo, so keep checking.

2 AT&T phone cards are not working in Zambia, so if you are expecting a call from a team member it may not come.

3 Word is not good on Johnny Robinson. He appears to have a tumor of the brain, and potentially other complications. It appears that Johnny will either be care-flighted to the US or will travel back on a commercial airliner with the team.Cam Hurst, who traveled to South Africa with the Robinsons is due back with us today. I will attempt to get you a better report on Johnny, but you may also wish to contact Hillcrest Church of Christ in Abilene


Today is a moving day. It is 8:30 and our teams luggage is already loaded, and we will send an advance team ahead to set up tents. THe team will do some loading work today and other chores before leaving for Singwamba. We will stay the night there, and start early tomorrow with our next clinic.

The team is exhausted, but upbeat.

Thanks for your interest
