Friends,
Your commitment to walking alongside the ZamFam through the last two months will never be forgotten. It is saying little of the reality of this experience, but God has answered our prayers in ways I had not anticipated and in ways I have yet to understand. Our time in Zambia has been a swirl of frustration and confused delight, failing to submit to our petty expectations and demolishing the barriers of our heart.
John has been recovering remarkably from Malaria. In a mere four days, his health has stabilized, in time for a grueling trip back to the U.S. It may not have been the way we wanted this trip to end for John, but it is certainly a testament to the faithfulness of our Provider.
I am at peace with returning today. A part of me may never leave, but I have no regrets about our time here. It is my prayer that I may one day return. The things I have seen I shall describe once I have settled down in West Lafayette. Until then, remain strong in prayer. I am 30 hours away. :)
By His Grace,
Jon Chen
