AFRICA MISSIONS
DIRECTOR
Mike and Linda Jones,

serving in Zambia for 13
years. Mike has agreed to
be our Missions Director for
the continent of Africa.
July 25: We strung the 1st house and bath house today, and
hauled a load of brick. The foundation is being dug. Hopefully,
when I go Thursday the foundations will be dug. Then, we will
haul sand, rock, and brick. Monday we should start laying bricks
on the house. After the first couple of weeks I should be able to
give you a reasonable estimate. Now that the buildings are
going up, I'll start looking for the house mother. Absenteeism is
high in Africa. We may need two "parents". Pray about it. We
can start with one and see how it goes.
Sometime down the road I think we should consider putting up a
2000 liter (500 gallon) tank. As we build more houses, the tank
could be replaced with a 5000 liter and the old tank could be
used as overflow. The good thing about overflow is we could
offer this overflow water only to the community, and have some
reserve for water problem times. From Mike Jones, WOR -
