You may have heard by now that 2010 is the 10-year anniversary of Family Legacy’s work in Zambia. It has been a lot of fun trying to keep up with what God wants to accomplish over the past 10 years. To celebrate we want to invite everyone to the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Frisco, TX on September 18, 2010 to come and see what the Lord has done in Zambia.

It is going to be a great night with an African Market where you can purchase all kinds of things from Zambia, we’ll have a wonderful dinner in the Grand Ballroom and we’ll see and experience all that is happening in Zambia. We’ll be joined that night by the former Vice President of Zambia, Dr. Nevers Mumba.

Table sales will start on May 1st and seating is limited. We would love for everyone to join and bring their friends for a wonderful night of celebrating the last 10 years and looking forward to the next 10 years. For all the info on the 10th Anniversary Banquet, visit www.familylegacy2010.com.

The rainy season has been especially difficult this year as several days of non-stop rain has led to flooding all around the capital city of Zambia. The worst affected areas are the compounds where we work, such as Kanyama and Chawama. The roads are full of gigantic holes and there is no formal drainage system.

We ask that you join us in praying for a few things:

• Pray against cholera. Huge amounts of stagnant water often leads to cholera outbreaks in the compounds of Lusaka. It is likely unavoidable at this point, but please pray against it.
• That children would be able to get to our CRCs. The children know that whenever they are in trouble, they should come to the CRC. The flooding can make it a lot more difficult to get around and we don’t want a child having to sleep outside because they can’t get to the CRC.
• That our staff would be able to travel freely. The floods have made it nearly impossible to get to certain areas even in larger cars. Pray that we would be able to get supplies and transport kids as needed.
