4. The House of Lemon and Grace

On Sunday, we drove a couple of hours to stay in Ndola, where Kevin and Helen used to live in the 80's. On the same property lived a beautiful couple named Lemon and Grace and 7 of their beautiful children and numerous grandchildren. It was a house full of love and smiles. The oldest daughter runs a orphan program which we support.

We also have partnered with a group Kevin started called GLO. They train indigenous students in theology and teach them how to lead a church. They give some of our donations to give scholarships and also to help them get started in planting a church. Kevin and the director were discussing the need to have classes like what they have started at Maplehurst Farms, where the students can support themselves when they start their church. We are trying to get all our partners to think about a money making project that they can start. This helps them not to be dependent on the West for donations.

At the house, I had the opportunity to eat my first enshima, a Zambian staple. It is cornmeal cooked into a pastey dumpling thing that you use to scoop up the rest of your food. I have done much better than I did in India and have eaten solely with my hands here! Enshima is quite good, actually.
