Preparing for Church

We slept beneath the nets on the stage of this church in rural Zambia. The people had unmatched hospitality. We cleared our belongings away before the 4 hour service. The woman on the right is sweeping the floor with a handmade hand broom. Flowers are tied to the posts and then, full of people, it becomes a wonderful worship space.

These greenhouse supports should be protecting growing food products to support a school. Poor management and aid money that expired put this project to dereliction. The teachers at the school had not been paid in several months but continued teaching local children.
