KABILE BUILDING
COMPLETED
What a "day ofrejoicing" it was!
On the 23rd of February, 1992, the
Kabile congregation assembled to
gether for their very first worship
service in their almost-completed
church building. Can you imagine
howthey felt? These faithful Chris
tians had gone through all of the
emotions: never expecting to have
their own building, and then expe
riencingthe thrill of actually "pray
ing" in their own building. Includ
ing the eighteenchoir members from
the Lusaka Mungwi congregation,
we had about 100 people there. The
singing, fellowship, preaching and
praises were all pleasing (I feel) in
sight of our Lord.
"Hey. I'm not tired!"
THE OLD AND THE NEW
The Kabila congregation hadbeen meeting in
grass-coveredshelters foryears - barely anyshel
ter from the sun and the rain. It was a bit ironic
that, as the men were making the new blocks, the
old grass shelter was entirely surrounded.
The comen are m place.

BARLASTONE UPDATE
The newgroup at Barlastone Park is struggling
for existence. They are having about twelve for
"prayers" each Lord's Day, and are praying for more
people from whommight come some additional lead
ers. Please pray for their encouragement, growth
and maturity.
NEWS ABOUT:
JEFF AND ROBBIE: Jeff and Robbie are planning a trip to
Africa soon. The details are in the final planning stage. While on
the continent they hope to visit the Cape of Good Hope (one of the
southern-most points of the continent), Kruger Game Park, and
Victoria Falls (on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe). We
hope to share some of these experiences with them.
RUSSELL: Russell remains very busy with his architectural
work in Knoxville. During the holiday season he was able to enjoy
an exotic scuba diving trip to San Salvador Island in the Bahamas.
SUSAN: Susan continues with her Master's studies at U.T.
along with her year-long teaching internship. She is spending
much of her time at the first grade level, and will be interviewing
soon for a teaching position within
the greater Knoxville area.
ANDREW: Andrew is now
more than one-half of the way
through grade nine, and celebrated
his fifteenth birthday recently in
Kenya. His studies keep him quite
busy. He sustained a minor knee
injury recently, and is limited to
coaching-only duties in his favorite
sport " basketball. During his De
cember break in Zambia he worked
hard at the Kabile church construc
tion site " deciding that Zambia is
much hotter than Kenya.

will be sisters!

"ANOTHER ... BUT
THERE'S HOPE"
Another still child
Another tiny coffin
Another mother's broken heart
Another funeral
Another release from pain and suffering
Another soul thrust into eternity
Another child in the arms of Christ
Another gathering of family and fnends
Another occasion to witness
Another opportunity to tell that Wonderful Story
Another chance to accept or reject
Another and another ..., but there's Hope!

FUNERALS
Emotionally speaking, we find it hard to cope
with the seemingly increasing numbers of people
djdng here. Diseases such as malaria, dysentery,
cholera, tuberculosis and AIDS decimate in sweep
ingmotions the highdensitypopulationcompounds.
Explaining this is not easy, I can assure you. All of
our explanations usually end with the statement
" "we must trust God."
NEW PRESIDENT
Zambia overwhelmingly voted recently into
office a new president -- Frederick Chiluba. Presi
dent Chiluba has proclaimed Zambia to be a Chris
tian nation. We pray that the new president, his
cabinet and his ministers will lead the country into
a better economic position. Thejob of doing this has
been tripled in difficulty recently due to the severe
drought that has seized the country.
MARTI'S PAGE
It has beena delight to gettoknowthe ladies at the Kabile church. They
work long hours, but performeach taskwith joy. Intherural areasawoman's

"... I AM COMING SOON" REV. 22:20
14 June 1992
Dear Christian Friends,
HELP! We are sending this most unusual letter to all of you on our mailing
list because ofthe unusual circumstances we find ourselves in. There is no need
telling you about the catastrophic drought that has engulfed Africa - especially
the southern one-third. We are now starting to see the effects in Zambia. As a
result of the drought, the comharvest was only about 20%of the nation's needs.
For the poor rural farmer, this will have a crippling effect. He will realize only
one-fifth of his normal income to care for his family this year. The comthat he
normallykeeps to feed his family with is much less not enoughto last until next
year's harvest. Not enough money means being unable to purchase additional
com to feed his family. Only 20% income means that there will be no funds to
buy seed and fertilizer for this year's planting. You can see from this a vicious
circle unfolding.
This is a letter of appeal. We are appealing for funds to help relieve the
suffering brought on by the drought. This is a project for all Christians in the
world - not just government/relief agencies; not just goals for gigantic rock
concerts; not just projects for humanitarian groups. This is a project for
Christians.
We are asking that you consider making a one-time special donation for
drought relief in general in Zambia. If you are a congregation, maybe it could
come from your emergency funds. If a class, it could be a one-Sunday special
offering. If an individual, maybe you could sacrifice one or two dinner outings
this month. Every $100 gift will purchase enough commeal to feed forty small
families for two weeks. We are talking about saving lives.
Please make this a matter of immediate prayer. If you are led to give, we
need the funds now, before the endof June (if possible). Please make your check
out to Zeimbia Christian Mission, and mention drought relief when you mail it
to our Forwarding Agent.
May God bless us all as we work to save souls and lives.
Love in Christ,
Ron and Marti

CHIKOLOMA CHURCH BUILDING COMPLETED
The new chvurch building at the Mumbwa District was completed on the 14th of
August, 1992. The building itself took onlytwenty workingdays, but the process of
hauling river sand for making blocks,footingand slab, alongwith hauling building
sand for the walls, took quite a lot longer than that. Our first worship service in the
building was Sunday (the 16th of August) with 182 souls present and thirteen
confessions of faith inJesus Christ. The actual dedication service is planned for late
September or early October. YOU'REALL INVITED!
Chikoloma - the "old" and the "new."
SHAMULUMBA CONGREGATION
The men at Shamulumba village have completed 1400 (of the needed 1500) blocks in preparation for
their new building. We also have about one-half ofthe river sand which will be required for the footingand
slab. The Chikoloma menplanto help secure the buildingsand (for the walls) since there is no building sand
near Shamulumba. We had a near-fatal accident recently when one of the elders was almost buried alive
in a cave-in while digging river sand. It required one hour to dig him out, and he escaped with only bruises.
Waterfor building the Chikoloma churchcomes out of
the river and up the "bucket brigade"...
The Chikoloma building
required 109 bags of cement (50
kga. each).

The slab is finished and the comers are

I have carried out sxirvey trips to both of these churches. We are planning a new building for
Chitantasokwe (they are shifting to a nearby village called Lutondo). For Mgwadi, we are planning a total
renovation of the old building. I'm not at all certain when these projects will be started or completed.
NEWS ABOUT:
JEFF AND ROBBIE: Jeff and Robbie en
joyed a month-long visit to the continent of Africa
recently which included the Republic of South Af
rica, Zimbabwe sind (of course) Zambia. We all had
a wonderful time together since Andrewwas onhis
Spring break with us. As home owners in
Stockbridge(Georgia), they are very busypainting,
planting and "panting."
RUSSEIjL: Russell continues to enjoy his
architectural career in Knoxville. His latest hob
bies include: stained glass windows, vegetable
gardening and the restoration of an old TR6 auto
mobile.
SUSAN: Susan received her Master's Degree in Elementary Education the 14th of August at the
University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Being absent from that ceremony was very difficxilt for us. She is now
in the job-hvmting market.
ANDREW: Andrewcompleted his ninth grade at Rift Valley Academy in Kenya inmid-July. He finished
the year academically with high honors - his grade point average was 93%. After a six-weekbreak in Zambia
with us, he will begin the tenth grade (end of August). He continues to enjoy participatingin soccer, basketball
and the choir.
Jeffrey, Robbie, Andrew, Marti and Ron - happy!
DROUGHT RELIEF FUND
The appeal that we made recently for drought relief funds for Zambia was quite successful. The greatest
problems of hunger andlackof water will be seen inNovember andDecember. We arecurrentlytryingto decide
the very best way of using these funds for relief. We are already hauling maize meal (by the ton) to two of the
villages in the Mumbwa District.
KABILE DEDICATION
SERVICE
The Kabile church building was completed (as
reported in our last newsletter) in February. Tlie
Dedication Service was held on Sunday, the 26th of
July, with approximately 2(X) in the building. We
provided transportationfor a mixed choir (made up
of members from Shamulumba and Chikoloma)
which provided great singing, along withthe Kabile
chxirch choir.
Kabile church building "the finished product."
TIME IS PASSING
Time is passing, can't you see?
Soon we'll all be on bended knee.
Worshiping the One Who was nailed to the tree.
Time is passing, it's plain to see!
Time is passing, don't you know?
Is it going too fast or too slow?
It's really not for us to know
Whether time is passing too fast or too slow.
Time is passing, let's study the Word;
Souls are perishing, haven't you heard?
There's work to be done; we need to be stirred.
Hurry, time is passing; let's present the Word.
Time is passing, our heavenly home awaits.
It's about time to meet those faithful "greats,"
Namedinthat roll call as the Hebrews' author relates.
Time is passing; aim for the pjearly gates.
Time is passing; soon heaven and the Godhead -
Father, Son emd Holy Spirit, just as we've read.
Eternity revealed, instead of being ahead.
Forever and forever, just as CJod has said.

MARTI'S PAGE
The ladies here in Zambia who are
members of our churches love to meet
togetheratWomen'sConferences. These
meetings are times of joyfor them. The
fellowship enjoyed includes: singing,
marching, Christian plays, renewing old
firiendshipsandmakingnewfriends. The
more spiritual side includes: prayer,
praise and teaching. It is most certainly
a time of encouragement. These times
together make it possible for the women
to share with others their times of trial
eindtribulation, andinturnreceivewords
of comfort, advice and strength from the
Word of God as shared by their sisters in
Christ. The words from I Thessalonians
5:11 come alive at these times: "There

328/297
You mayask, "What is so significant about these numbers to deserve hxjnt
page/large type ^tinction?" Now that you've asked, I'll tellyou! These are
the attendance figures for the Building Dedication Services at Chikoloma and
Shamulumba in the Mumbwa Rural District. The Chikoloma service (328)
was held on the 27th of September with a combined Sunday worship and
dedication service. At the end ofthe service, 8 souls confessed Christ. We had
the pleasure of transporting the choir fiwm the Lusaka congregation --
Chelstone (Antioch) -- to help us celebrate the "big" day. About one month
earlier, when we were worshipping in the new buildingfor the very first time,
13 souls confessed Christ. Attendance figures for a normal Sunday service
have about doubled in the past few months.
The Shamulumba combined worshij/dedication service was held on the
8th of November, with 297 present and 14 confessions of faith in Christ. The
choir from Chawama (Lusaka), along with 4 ofthe Dorcas ladies and 2 ofthe
elders, accepted our invitation to accompany us for this spiecialservice. Two
months earlier, the Sunday attendance average was around 25. Considering
the fact that I designed these Mmnbwa rural buildings to accommodate
approximately 150for seating, I was more than a little astonishedto see these
crowds of souls flocking to the buildings. God is still in the miracle business.
SHAMULUMBA CHURCH BUILDING COMPLETED
We"broke ground" forthe Shamulumba buildingonthe first dayofOctober. Afterworking anadditional
18days, the building was completely finished! Onseveral occasions we had helpfrom the Chikoloma and
Kabilemen; there is a tremendous spirit ofunity amongthe congregations in the Mumbwarural area. The
19 days (total for construction) completely obscures the huge amount ofworVtime that goes into: digging'
hauling sand; obtaining water; and mal^gblocks. Obtaining water for construction has been our single
biggest problem. Wehave hauled water (all the way)fromLusaka; gotten it fromwells; and taken it out
(bucket by bucket) of rivers (now all dry).
Shamulumba building completed.
CHISALU, MULELA AND CHITANTASOKWE
We continue to assess the congregational situations at these churches. Chitantasokwe has a serious
leadership problem at this time, sowewill spend timewiththemtoencourage maturityandcongregational
growth, andcontinue planning. Chisalu isdoingquitewell numbers-wise, but lacks older/mature leadership.
We doplantobegin renovation process onthisfme, old, permanentbuilding(one oftwopermanentbuildings
in the Mumbwa Rural district) as soon as possible. Mulela has located and dug river sand to use in block-
making andfor concrete. We may trytohaul thesandsoonsothemen canmake theblocks during therainy
season (we pray that the redns will come, but we are in a race against it!).
NEWS ABOUT:
JeffreyandRobbie: Great News! Jeff and Robbie expecttobeparents (oftwins!,ctnyoubelievethat?)
next year, about the end of May. The prosp>ect of becominggrandparents is very, very, very exciting to us.
Russell: Alongwith Russell's busy schedulein his fieldofarchitecture, he "keepsin touch"with: political
news, Tennessee Volunteer football, faxes missionreports and important documents, etc. He has visited with
Jeff and Robbie in Stockbridge (GA) several times recently to assist with projects around the house.
Susan: Susan is somewhat busy these days substitute teaching in the Knoxville City/County school
system. Traveling (literally) fromoneend ofthe countytothe other isa "newexperience"for her. Substituting
in a different school at a different grade level nearly every day (that she works) is quite a "challenge" too.
Naturally she wouldprefer a fulltime, permanent teachingposition,andis pursuing everypossiblelead. She
shareda "missions update" onourwork inone ofthe Knoj^le areacongregations recently.
Andrew; Wewerethrilled to haveAndrewhomefor a short, six-day(mid-termbreak) visit recently.
In all the years ofBaumann childrenattending Rift Valley Academy, this was the first opportunity(long
enough) for a mid-termvisit. Andrewinviteda school friend, Peter Nichols, an Australian whoseparents
are missionaries in Ethiopia, to visit with him. We are lookingforward to the Christmas break together
at the end ofhis first term ofgrade ten, prior to the secondterm whichbegins onthe 11th ofJanuary, 1993.
Brother Saul baptized ISinthe Mwembeehi River.

RAIN (?)
Our great need(and prayer) at this time in
Zambia (and other parts of southern AfHca)is
a good rainy season. We have had some good
showers recently, but it is much too early to
knowwhether this will be a year of good rain^
hax*vest. Our drought relief work continues
(thanks to all of the gifts ft^jmaUof you!).
HUNGRY HEARTS
Himgry hearts waiting --
Waiting in the dark;
Waiting for the Words of Life
To light within the spark.
Waiting for someone to fan the flame within;
Waiting for the lifting of the heavy load of sin.
Waiting for you and me to preach and teach the Word,
To tell them the Good News that we've already heard.
Gome, teach and share with joy;
Bring Light into the dark.
Jesus gave us His Great Commission;
Come and be His spark.
~ MMB '92
MGWADI RENOVATION
WorkbeganMonday, the9thofNovember, atMgwadi
the day after the dedication service at Shamulumba (no
rest for the weary!). We hauled five loads of sandthat day
with each load taking one hour (round trip -21kms.). The
long process of rebonding the burned bricks of the old
building is one-half finished. The building will get new
windows, a burglar bar gate with steel door frame, and a
permanent floor with concrete seats (benches).
DAMAGE
Suspension damage to the new truck, sustained re
cently while on a survey trip to the Chisalu (Shakumbila)
church, will force delays in the Mgwadi work as well as
other projects (food relief and seminars). The combination
of heavy loads'terrible roads finally "took its toll."
MARTI'S PAGE
Friends are a gift from God. Andrew has had many special friends
throughout his 15years, but those madeat his Christianboardingschool,
Rift ValleyAcademy inKenya, have beenunique. When one is away from
home alone, one first of all finds spiritual strength fi:^5m the presence of
Jesus Christ. One can rely on His promise in Matthew28:20 which says,
"Lo, I amwithyou always..." This gives the assiarance andtrust needed
to live apart from the family, but never apart from the Saviour's love. At
an early age one can leam to rely not on self or family, but Jesus for
strength. The children making up the school at R.V.A. are no different
fi^)mchildren in the United States, except their parents are Christian
workers in Afiica. Those who love the Lord seem to be drawn together.
They share together in the good things, and encourage one another when
one is discouraged or homesick. They leam to choose what is good and
stand up for what is right. Life is made up of many choices. Choosing
friends who love the Lord sets one's feet on the right path. We are
thankful for Andrew's Christian friends at R.V.A. who are part of his
Christian family.
