We got some "GREAT NEWS" today. Our work permits for allowing us to stay in Macha have been approved and are ready to be picked up at immigration in Lusaka. The application for the work permits were submitted on a "Professional Basis" not a "Missionary Basis". They were submitted through the assistance of Macha Mission Hospital and CHAZ (Christian Health Association of Zambia).
The way in which Zambia issues work permits is different than in Botswana. Each person here must be approved for a permit; not as a spouse of an approved ex-pat. The concern was that Gil is not a certified teacher and the work would be with a school. But God opened the doors for both of us to be approved quite quickly. Sometimes it takes many months of waiting. PTL another confirmation that this is where God wants us.
Welcome To SoMacha.com!
They moved to Macha to start MICS (Macha Innovative Christian School). There was a desperate need for a quality elementary school for the local children and the many orphans in Macha. It has been 3 years now, and they have more than 60 students. God has done many amazing things in Macha. We are excited to see what will happen next!
This website will allow Gil and Ronda to keep everyone informed and up to date on all the events in Macha.
Please check back often and keep them in your prayers.
