CHINA Last time we could get something out to the rest of the world was in Macau. We left for our destination on Monday, taking a few busses and a 35 hour train to get to our final destination.
We had some more trouble getting through to one of the provinces...
3 busses, 5 lifts and 5 taxi's!!!!....
Orange Team is Go - Go - Go!!!!
Praise the Lord! He provided LITERALLY every step of the way.
We never had to stress or to something extra-ordinary, but just believe!!!
God works best when we are weak, and that was our story the whole trip.
Monday night we heard that we had our first challenge, to get to Zambia before Friday the 25 January.
Day 2!!! WOW, again God is Good, amazing, exciting!!!!!!!
We arrived in Kasane at about 8am Wednesday morning! We hiked for 1km before we met John who gave us a lift on the back of a sand lorry.
We were heading towards the Zimbabwe-border. We went through with no problems. We then walked right into our first pothole!!!hehhehe.
We started to negotiated with the drivers to go to Victoria falls. They wanted $100!!! that was so funny, only because we were very tired!
Tired in a way because we slept on a bus, but had walked for almost 3km with our backpacks on.

9:30pm .... Masaiti..... FCE
WE are here!!!!!
The challenge was awesome, but now we have to wait for our other team-mates. God was with us all the way!!!!
Last night we were on a bus from Livingston to Lusaka. That was pure luxury. 122pm we received cool drinks and snacks!!!, better service than in SA. This morning at 4am we arrived at Lusaka, where it was still dark. We unloaded, and we searched for Marks Travel bus. We found another bus, but to our dismay we didn’t depart as we would have liked to.

Red means stop, green means go, but ORANGE means GO, GO, GO!!!
This is how the orange team kicked of 2008. Bringing a fresh breeze as the first Orange team ever in the history of The Global Challenge, we are determined to go into the world in a God-seeking life-style, sharing the Good News with the nations, going out to serve and love the people as followers of Chirst.
