We visited Chilongolo airstrip and saw where Flying Mission Zambia operates. They have 4 bases in Zambia including Chilongolo, Macha, Chitookoloki, and Mukinge.
Their vision is, Serving the mission, medical and church communities of Zambia through the supply of aviation and logistical services.
We had a tour, saw where they make their own bricks for construction, had a team meeting ending with a BBQ called a "braai." One picture is of a young girls choir that the office manager organized from families living in mud huts at the end of the runway. Their voices are so strong they do not need microphones. The other is of the men making bricks. They use 5% cement, 95% clay sand mix from the ground and form these 25# bricks. They are watered and cured for about a week and then ready for construction. They can make 1000 per day at 1/2 the cost of purchasing them.
It was a great day.
1 Thes 1:3 "Remembering without ceasing you work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope, in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father."
