My expedition to Zambia last year (October 2014) was through my church. During the preparations, my trip leader decided that we should bless all the missionaries there, so she asked our Overland leader for a list of the AMT students and to ask the missionaries on base what they want or need from America. Most … Continue reading #NotASacrifice
Q: What did you eat? A: Nothing in the least bit scary. We prepared meals over the campfire (or gas burner hooked to a portable propane tank) just like we'd eat at home, such as oatmeal, tuna salad, stir fry, chili, and chicken. We also got apples from the market in Livingstone, which I think … Continue reading Zambia FAQ
We made it back to US soil. We're now in JFK for our longest layover, but I don't think any of us mind because we're not ready to go home. The 15 hour flight wasn't as bad as before; probably because we were all so tired that we slept more. I definitely feel like I … Continue reading Zambia Day 12
We are officially off of Zambian soil and en route to South Africa. It was definitely hard to leave Zambia and our leaders. This morning we got up and went to a buffet breakfast at a fancy resort in Livingstone. The hotel was beautiful, the food was good, and they have zebras and giraffes that … Continue reading Zambia Day 11

At the border you can actually see three countries (besides Zambia): Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. It's a short boat ride across the Zambezi River (in which we saw hippos) … Continue reading Zambia Day 10
Today we left our camp and traveled back to the base. The road, which was a different one than we took before) was tough. The path was narrow and lined with trees and thorns, so everyone had to pile into the middle of the truck to avoid being slapped or stabbed by tree branches coming … Continue reading Zambia Day 9
Today was our final ministry day. 😦 We went back to Capalingwa for a couple of hours (we got there late). My group went to 3 huts. At the second, we had our first and only real transformation. There was a man and two women, and as we talked to them, we discovered that though they … Continue reading Zambia Day 8
Today the plan was to be in 3 groups; two to return directly to Capalingwa and one to go to the school in Moomba and minister to the kids first. My group was the one to go to the school. So we went and were told to come back at 11 when the kids had … Continue reading Zambia Day 7
