worked toward. Pray for strength and encouragement for the staff and volunteers as they do this work. And please pray for the chief of Moleketla, for he gave his life to Christ during a home health visit that week!

Our medical/construction team of 12 saw great evidence of HIV/AIDS as we ministered in South Africa and Zambia this June. But where there is suffering and oppression, God reveals Himself miraculously.

We worked in Moleketla, South Africa with missionary Ilma Hall. We worked with a preschool, providing health assessments on the children and fixing their roof, fences, gate and windows. We also worked with Horizon International’s missionaries Andries and Nelly van der Merwe,  and met the orphaned children and did home health visits. Each patient we see in clinic is presented the wonderful message of salvation. Hundreds came to Christ through the ministry of our team. We were told that we were the only mission team to come help them in over a year.  Please pray for the revival in the village that we so fervently

Cry the Beloved Country

by

Alan Paton

We ministered next at Zimba Wesleyan Mission Hospital in Zambia. This 100-bed hospital was operating with no physician. A patient who made an impression on us was little George. He was brought into the hospital late in his illness and extremely sick. His eyes were open and staring, every breath a struggle. We were able to start IV fluid and

various medications we had brought. I didn’t have much hope for little George to live through the night. So we did what we could…we prayed. I am so grateful to our King to be able to say that George

survived! To God be the glory for this miracle of his life!

There are so many stories to tell about patients and families we were able to minister to in the hospital. Like the survival of a 13 year old girl who had fallen into a fire and was badly burned. Or the two very tiny premature babies in the maternity ward. Or the lady who sat in the dirt outside and had her relatives change her dressings on her legs.

I praise God for the members of this team, who faithfully followed God’s calling on their lives. That not only includes the 12 members who went to Africa, but also those who gave (time, encouragement, money, supplies) and those who prayed. We are organizing supplies and raising support for the next trip. If you are interested in further information on how to help…how to go…or how to sponsor a child in Africa, please contact Teresa Davidson at teresa@jtdavidsonhomes.com or (319)841-8061. We will be going back next year…who’s going with us?
