There is a phrase that has been tickling the edge of my mind today. Every time we would start down the dusty road to the village in Zambia, our friend would yell after us, “Where are you going?!”
“Naya ku boma,” I would answer. I’m going to the village. And we would all delight in the quick exchange and in his resolve to teach us his beautiful language.
Today, I am delighted to say it once more.
Today, I am delighted to say it once more.
Friends. We’re going to the village.
A different village and a different journey, but one that we are immeasurably delighted to undertake.
After much prayer and searching, we have committed to a 1-year internship with Choshen Farm in Fimpulu, Zambia. (It’s a much longer story than that makes it sound, consisting of some impromptu emails, a fortuitous dinner date, and a great deal of careful consideration and planning, but we’ll leave it at that for the moment.) We have pretty much all of the emotions right now, with excitement and something between contentment and assurance being the predominant two. I encourage you all to head on over to ChoshenFarm.Org and check out what these folks are up to. It is Kingdom-focused living, and we are honored to be a part of it.
While you’re at it, check out the “Fimpulu” and “Fundraising & Support” tabs at the top of our newly updated family blog! There, you’ll find details about what we’ll be up to during our time with Choshen and how you can help make it all possible.
If you would like to be a part of our email list, you can contact us at dtsuell.gmail.com. We’ll send you monthly updates as we prepare to launch into this endeavor and continue to keep you updated once we’re there. If you’re a fan of snail mail, we would be delighted to send you a paper copy instead! Simply put, this is not something we can do alone. We treasure your prayers and are oh so grateful for your support.
We hope to depart sometime in late September or early October. Our salaries at Choshen Farm are entirely dependent on donors, so between now and then, we’ll be doing a lot of traveling and networking for fundraising purposes. If your church or group would be interested in hearing more about what we’ll be up to or supporting us financially, just drop us an email or comment below and we’ll set up a date!
We praise God for His faithfulness, and we thank Him for you, our family and friends, whose support has meant so much to us along this journey. As always, may every step bring Him glory.
