A Testimony
The following is a letter we received from a young lady who came with a team to Zambia in 2004. We'll let her speak for herself:
Hello Sandra,
It's been such a long time but i am hoping with everything in me that you remember me. My name is Lindsay, I was the 18 year old that stayed there in the summer of 2004. I must say that summer changed my life. I remember the last words that Uncle G said to me before i left for the plane back to America he said, "I just know that some day by the time you are 35 you will be a missionary somewhere in Africa." And sure enough that's where God is taking me! I have always hoped and waited for the opportunity to return. And lately God has really been putting the house of Moses on my heart. A little bit of an update on my life. I am married now. I got married last summer actually to an amazing christian man that has the same hopes of being a missionary as well. Right now we want to travel around to different places and see where God takes us. I am hoping and continually praying that you will have the room for us to come and visit this summer for a few weeks. Along with us will be my best friend who is also wanting to be a missionary wants to come. Her name is Christy. So there would be three of us wanting to come. And we are completely flexible. I would love to stay in the house of Moses again, but i am open to staying with natives as well. My husband and i do not have to room together. We are fine with sleeping separately. We are extremely flexible in terms of accommodations. I just wish you could understand how excited i am. I have been waiting for almost four years now for God to call me back to Zambia and i am so excited that he finally is! Please pray your hardest about us coming because we want to be there more than anything. Hurray!!!! God is finally calling me back to AFRICA!
I know you are busy, but if you wouldn't mind please contact me as soon as possible as i will be awaiting your response extremely anxious. In case I never got the chance to thank you, thank you for helping me grow and seeing our world in a different way. The gifts and blessings that you and Africa and more importantly God gave me that summer I will never be able to forget!
Blessing,
Lindsay
