Dear STL,

Thank you so much for providing us with tools to reach the children of Zambia, Southern Africa. Our STL vehicle has traveled 84,000 miles in six different countries. It has helped us minister to kids all over Zambia. We have been able to do training in Children's Ministries in 9 of the 9 provinces in Zambia, a country the size of Texas.

Our STL vehicle has helped draw thousands of kids to kids' crusades by pulling a trailer with clowns and full body costume animals inside. It transports our KidsQuest team to each crusade site. Then our STL sound system helps us get the message of Salvation in Jesus to thousands of kids who are ready to listen.

Our STL vehicle has carried thousands of Books of Hope to schools along with our Book of Hope team who present the gospel in public schools.

There is hardly a day that goes by where we don't use our STL vehicle. While today it won't take us to a crusade or a seminar, it will help us with the day to day things that we need to do in order to live and minister in Zambia.

Thank you STL,
Chris and Heidi Ness
Missionaries to the children of Zambia

On a recent trip to Eastern Zambia I received a stalk of bananas (among other things like chickens, not pictured) as a love offering for preaching, and picked up an old dugout canoe, to turn into book shelves.
