Itinerary

We will be departing for Zambia on the afternoon of December 30 from the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky Airport. Our flight path takes us through Detroit, Amsterdam, Nairobi (we will be celebrating the New Year between Amsterdam and Nairobi) to Lusaka on January 1.

After arriving in Lusaka on January 1, we will be traveling to the market to purchase our food for the month while on-site at Mukinge Hospital. Then it will be back to the SIM guest house for a much needed night of sleep (not in the upright position as will be the case on December 30 and 31). Upon awakening on January 2, we will be traveling to the Lusaka International Airport to travel via bush plane to Mukinge Hospital.

Thank you for viewing our blog and we look forward to communicating with you via this web page during our trip!

I love that you are going to attempt to keep us updated on your trip, that's great idea. I just hope that internet connections are too hard to come by over there. Kevin and I will be praying for your trip and for safe travels. If there are any other specific prayer requests you might have, let us know. We pray that God will use you to bless others throughout the trip. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless!

Happy New Year Melissa and Jeremy! I hope you have safely arrived in Lusaka. Enjoy going to the market today and purchasing your month's supply of corn mush.

I hope you have internet access soon so you can give us an update!

Love,
