All 33 of us 40/40 participants went to the immigration office to renew our Zambia visas today. This, of course, took three hours. But as people finished, they went into town. It was funny watching all of us ride in the back of a flat bed truck into the small immigration office in the town of Petauke.
The rest of the day was spent packing for the coming weekend. Everyone is staying with a national family. We’ll stay in teams of two or as a family. Some people are dreading it and some are looking forward to it. Some participants are staying in village huts and others in homes in town.
We have three days to learn everything we can about life for Africans. “This, more than anything, gives the participants a glimpse into African life and issues that are important to the people God has called them to reach,” said our program director Kevin.
There was standing room only on the flatbed truck, as we traveled into the town.
We each prepared a bag of gifts for our host families that included items like bread, sugar, butter and tiny dried fish that we hoped they wouldn't serve us.
