Would you help keep us in Zambia?

                                                      Warren and Mary

It has been a while since I posted anything. I apologize about that, I admit I'm not such a great blogger. We get busy with ministry and life and forget to update you all.  Of all the things Warren does, father, administrator, teacher, preacher, boss, he loves being there for the children most. It is amazing to watch as the children run to the car as we drive in or are about to leave the TOL children's village. They come, some with questions, others with complaints, but some just come because they like to be near him.   There is this little girl, her name is Mapalo, and her goal in life is to come and get as many hugs from "Uncle Warren" as possible.  This means the world to us all. We recently moved to be nearer  to the ministry and in the short week we've been here, we've been able to walk down to the village and play tag and soccer with the children, play at the playground, or just sit, talk and visit with them.  On our way home, the children always say what an awesome time they had.

Some of you would like it if we said our work here is done and we get to go back to the States, but the truth is that our work here feels like it is just begun. The ratio of children to working adults here in Zambia is 13:1. That means there are 13 children to every working adult. A lot of these children are single or double orphans or are in extreme vulnerable situations at home. We know that we are only scratching the surface of the need in Zambia. We do not look forward to being great, we do not even want our names mentioned, all we want to do is help. Would you come and help? That is the question God asked of us when we first considered missions. We said yes, and will continue to say yes and obey as He leads us.  

It has been thru God's provision and your prayers and generous giving that we've been able to stay. Would you consider continuing your prayer and financial support? We need your prayers to lift up our hands as we face our day to day battles, prayers for protection and wisdom. We also need your continued financial support. If you would like to know more as to how to give, please message us at wavi_carr@yahoo.com. We also need to stay connected with you, please email us and give us your prayer request and family updates, we would love to keep in touch with you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and may our God supply all you need through Christ Jesus.

Much love!

The Carr Family
