organization updates

This week I offered a bonus blog post with thoughts from Isaiah 58 as they may relate to the modern practice of doing some small sacrifice or fast during the Lent season. I hope it was as thought provoking to some of you as it was to me. Friday we continued with our African zoom through the book of Ruth, explaining to our African brothers the American film rating system from “G” to “R” – if you haven’t read Ruth 3, or my commentary from two weeks ago, you may not appreciate why we had that discussion…

I saw yesterday another African ministry post that 3.22 is WORLD WATER DAY. Seems like a good year to start celebrating that one!! We just completed our TWENTIETH clean water source in Zambia. This one in Livingstone.

Shoulder 2 Shoulder recently surpassed $1 million in donations over four years, funding food relief, clean water projects, and housing support for vulnerable families in Zambia. Their efforts include distributing over 60,000 bags of maize, completing 20 clean water projects, and assisting 19 households with safe housing. As they continue their mission, they invite supporters to share their surplus and make a lasting impact, inspired by Matthew 25:40.
