A Cup Of Cold Water
This week I was blessed with a missionary retreat hosted by Christian Hospitality Network in Zimbabwe. Christian Hospitality Network is an amazing ministry! They truly represent Jesus’ hands and feet on this earth. CHN gives missionaries from all over the world a much-needed three-day Getaway.
A Team of Doctors, Counselors, and Chiropractors paid their own way to come all the way to Africa and volunteer their time to bless us.
Words can’t express how encouraging this week was to me! To know Christians care about the work we are doing and are willing to show us how much they love us. Worshipping in English in a room full of other missionaries was a little piece of heaven! Worshipping God in a room full of people who have given up so much because they love their Lord and the people they minister to so much is incredible.
I loved meeting missionaries from all over Africa. I had a long conversation with a couple that has worked in Livingstone, Zambia for fifteen years. I appreciated all the wisdom and advice they gave me. There is nothing like being able to ask someone who has been where you want to go, the best way to get there. I can’t thank CHN enough for the wonderful week of rest and renewal.
I know Our Heavenly Father will richly bless them. Matthew 10:42, “The one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
Love,

Like many missionaries, Rebekah has no source of income other than love gifts from back home. She will be returning to the U.S. December 12, 2013 to extend her visa and raise the plane fare to return to Zambia indefinitely. She needs our help to continue the work she is doing there.
