Zambia Update

-
Hello everyone, We want to update you on how things are going with our Zambia planning. Back in July we were able to send a lot of our belongings, school curriculum, and solar panel equipment. We are excited to share that all of our items have arrived and will be picked up by our friends this week, and taken back to the mission of love property. We also wanted to inform everyone that we have purchased our plane tickets for November 18th. We are so thankful for our family, friends, and church body as you have supported us financially, shared many encouraging words with us, and have continually prayed for our family. Thank you.
Several people have asked about how to support us financially. We know it has been a bit complicated, but now we are excited to share that our church has set up an online giving option on the church website. 

If you are interested in giving this way follow these steps below: 

  • Click on this link below and it will take you to the church website  https://www.faithassemblyerh.com/

Thank you all again for your prayers.

    Heavenly Father, thank you sooooo much for bringing Nate and his family to this point. I pray that a whole bunch more support would come in, and that people would pray for this family. In Jesus name, Amen

Greetings From Zambia

Greetings from Zambia! Our family was blessed to see a lunar rainbow at Victoria Falls at the end of June when we had to make a quick trip to Livingstone to ask immigration a few questions about our upcoming renewal. The Joubert family was there with us and Jako was able to capture these beautiful images on his phone. Such a neat experience for our families to do together.  Celebrated Nate's 37th birthday A few days ago, we returned from a short trip to Livingstone and thought it would be good time to update everyone on how our family and ministry is doing.  Our recent trip to Livingstone was basically for health purposes/medical care. Melanie has to have her thyroid tested from time to time to make sure it hasn't fluctuated too much. We also wanted to take our children to the dentist. We were so blessed to get all of these appointments done as it is not so easy with Zambia still being in a severe drought. There is very limited electricity. The power will only come on for 6 to...

Greetings Family and Friends

Greetings from Zambia. This update is long overdue. We appreciate your prayers and patience with us as we are not great at putting out monthly updates.  At the end of August last year, many of you know we visited the states. We were so thankful to reconnect and visit friends and family after being away for 3 years.   We returned to Zambia mid- November. A short time after our return the end of the school year was just a couple weeks away, so we were helping the teachers to complete their assessments and finish all of the administrative work from the last term. I was also trying to wrap our own children's schooling and prepare for the new year to begin.  Since a few of our teachers were leaving, we took the opportunity to do a deep cleaning of the preschool so that we could have a fresh start. It had been years since the last deep clean. The walls, carpets, manipulatives, dolls, dress-up clothes, blocks, puzzles, and kitchen toys were all washed, reorganized sorted,...

Elijah Dale Sweerin 9/22/13

We come to you with saddened hearts as we have had a rough past couple of days. For some reason God decided to take our baby home to be with Him. On Saturday evening Melanie started having some mild contractions. We assumed it was braxton hicks or a false labor and decided to wait it out a bit as they weren’t getting stronger. After waking up around 5:30-6 in the morning we could tell they were getting stronger and we would need to make a plan. By 7:30am on Sunday the baby was born and had only a few breaths before going home to be with Jesus. The helicopter arrived  around 8:30 and the paramedic attempted to resuscitate him but his lungs were filled with fluid and collapsed. It just wasn’t time for Elijah Dale Sweerin. Our hearts are broken as we question why this happened to us but we are trusting in God’s perfect plan. He knows exactly why this happened and what our families future will hold. Please pray for us as we try to heal. Melanie has been checked by several doctors and a...
