Even greater things
This photo was taken last week as we launched our year here in Zambia with all our teams from across Zambia, Malawi and DRC. These are all the amazing men and women I live, serve and work alongside of to serve some of the most vulnerable children in Africa. I still wake up some days wondering how I got here, and what qualifies me to work alongside such spiritual giants in the faith. Its an absolute privilege and all of these friends are very dear to my heart.

Diamonds in the Dust. - A Story from Malawi
Within the first few moments of sitting and speaking with George Snyman, he assured me that during my few months in Africa, I would be sure to find ‘diamonds in the dust’. The following few weeks saw journal entry after journal entry filled with questions of ‘What are these diamonds?’ ‘Who are these diamonds?’ ‘Why dust?’….

Siyathathuka Home Based Care - A Labour of Love
This vegetable patch that you see in these pictures are the result of a lady called Fortunate who cares so much for the health of the orphans and widows that she worked the ground to make them even though she knew how difficult it was to water them to make them grow. She just trusted in God to provide……. and led by example..

Two New Volunteers
Last month, 2 Australians, Melissa Warren and Leyton Wood, travelled to Hands at Work in Africa to participate in the Orientation program for long-term volunteers. Leyton just completed Year 12 and chose to defer his university program to spend the year serving in Africa. Melissa, with a background in the IT industry, gave up her full-time employment to commit the next 2 years to serving with Hands in Africa. Two ordinary Australians, living out extraordinary lives!
