Dear Family & Friends,
Psalm 25:5 – Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are my Savior, and my hope is in your all day long.
Psalm 33:20 – We wait in hope for the Lord, he is our help and our shield.
2 Corinthians 4:18 – So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Please be praying:
1. She will be having her spring break the beginning of April for a month. Please pray that after Spring break they will be able to move into their new school building that has been under construction.
2. During the spring break a girl attending the nearby college will be staying with Bonnie. She is an orphan, a Christian, and is facing many challenges and has nowhere to go during the break. Please be praying that Bonnie will be able to minister to her during this time together.
3. Bonnie has been sick for some time now and is on medication. She is feeling better but not back to normal still being very run down and exhausted. Please pray for complete healing and strength to continue the work she is called to there.
4. Because of being sick for so long she is behind in her school work. She has parent teacher conferences coming up and has to write an evaluation form for each of her 30 pupils in order to meet with each of the parents. She will also be tutoring students after school. This requires her to assess each student and determine his or her educational need. Please be praying for wisdom and grace in this process.
5. Continue to pray for discernment and wisdom in the many decisions she is required to make daily. Please continue to pray for her safety.
Thank you for your continued prayers for our daughter!

Dear Family and Friends,
Just wanted to send out a quick request to ask you to please pray for Bonnie. I received a text from her today saying that she is sick again. Cough, fever, weak, and trouble breathing. Please pray for her. It is amazing how God moves through prayer. In her time of need she has an army of people to lift her up in prayer.
God Bless and thank you!

Dear Family & Friends
Here is the latest prayer update from Bonnie.
LouAnn
Goodness, I don’t even remember when I last gave you an update. Sorry, I have been crazy busy! Thank you everyone who sent goodies in the bin through Doug Hayes, what a blessing that has been!
Things are going really well and I am so excited to see all that God is doing here in Ndola. I had a sleep over with a few of the college girls from church, we had a lot of fun and needless to say we got little sleep, but that is kind of the point, right? Lol. Yesterday was National Woman’s Day here in Zambia, a national holiday. On Sunday we had a special service to honor the woman. (we had a lot of guests) All the woman dressed in traditional attire and we had special music, testimonies and readings. The woman did everything but the preaching. At the end of the service, Pastor Wilbroad shared the gospel and 7 people came forward. During the counseling session, I was speaking one on one with a college age girl who was rededicating her life to the Lord. She said she attended the college service and wanted to come forward at that time, but said it was like she was glued to her seat. Praise God that she was obedient this week to the prompting of the Spirit. I was amazed to see how she opened up so much with me and was able to encourage her in the Lord. She really just needs to have a mentor and be held accountable. I invited her over for dinner this week and plan on making that a regular habit. I am having a family over tonight, well minus the parents…The parents are pastors and are out of the country. They range in age from 8-27 I believe (there are 6 of them).
I also got a new pupil today, Emanuel, so that rounds the number off to 30. He is very quiet but I am confident with time he will warm up to me and the rest of the class. I made a point to remind the boys to include him in the games at recess, they needed a couple reminders.
Prayer:
1. Please continue to keep the college ministry in prayer, specifically that the Lord will continue to draw souls and that they will be open and vulnerable when we meet.
2. Please pray for the pupils that they will be able to grasp the concepts that are being taught and that the Lord would continue to give me creative ways to get the points across.
3. Pray for strength and patience. I need a lot of both, when I am tired my patience seems to be lacking. J
4. Pray that I do not grow weary in doing good and that God will be honored and glorified through my work.
5. Pray also that the children will come to know and love the Lord.
6. Please also keep Susan (the head teacher) in your prayers, she was getting a lot better and then this week took a sudden turn for the worst. Her kidneys and liver are operating at 50% and the medications are no longer working.
7. Oh yeah, water heater is still broken so still have ice cold showers. I am getting used to it, but hey Hot water would be nice :)
Thank you again for supporting me through your prayers as well as financially. I couldn’t do this without you!!
With all my love,
Bonnie

Dear Friends & Family
Reaping always follows sowing be it sparingly or generously, which is between us and God as to how that works out in our lives. The important thing is the attitude with which we give; that is, not reluctantly or under compulsion but rather cheerfully giving.
LouAnn and I are being constantly amazed at the overwhelming, cheerful generosity of so many of you regarding your gifts to our daughter, Bonnie. We want to let you know that Bonnie, LouAnn and I, and others are being so blessed by you. We are so aware that Bonnie remains in your hearts and in your prayers. Even more so, we would like to remind you that God loves a cheerful giver. Amazing, not the amount, but the heart's posture in which we give matters most to God.
The overflow of your giving not only causes abounding grace that comes your way from sowing into the kingdom, it produces an abundance for your own need as well.
God is the source of the seed that we sow and the bread we eat. He increases our seed, He enriches us in every way so that we can be generous on every occasion.
This cheerful generosity results in thanksgiving to God from those receiving the temporal blessing from your giving. All they can do is thank God, the true source who is so worthy. Not only is there a supplying to the needs of the people of God, there is an overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God. Men will praise God at the testimony of your obedience accompanying your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity toward them and others as well.
In their prayers for you (hear that) they'll be praying for you and their hearts will go out to you because they realize there is surpassing grace given you by God for this work of service.
There is simply no way for us to personally express our gratitude except to remind you that our God is aware of what you are doing to serve Bonnie as she serves there in Zambia. Please understand there will be eternal fruit in the lives of those children and in your own lives as well.
Simply put, nothing can be said by us that is adequate enough but thank you all so much!
Charles & LouAnn Sherer
2 Corinthians 9:6-15 - Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Dear Family and Friends,
Wow how different things are in Africa! Talked to Bonnie today briefly and over the weekend she had 3 women help her clean the place that she will be moving into on Tuesday. It took them “4” hours! She said it was a mess. She was telling me that in order to have electricity you have to pay for a pre paid card and slide it through a slot (sort of like an ATM). Once the card runs out you have no electricity. So you have to make sure your card is always full. She said while in the apartment the water stopped working 3 times. This will be a common thing for her. She hopefully can time her showers at just the right time.
Bonnie is supposed to move into the apartment on Tuesday of this week. She has a man coming tomorrow that she hired to install a security door once she gets the ok from the renter. A security door? Again not like we have. It will be a door with metal squares in it and a lock. The man installing it also made it.
(1) Please pray that she will be able to get permission to have it installed (it will make her feel safer).
As I mentioned once before in Africa when you move into an apartment you have to purchase your own stove, refrigerator, bed, couch, table etc. So tomorrow Zicky (the pastor’s wife) told Bonnie to take off and she would go with her to purchase these items. (2) Please pray that she will find good deals on everything that she needs, and someone that can transport the items to her apartment.
Once Bonnie moves in the apartment she will begin having single college age girls over. Wilbroad has asked her to be a part of discipling these girls. The past several weeks the church was involved in an outreach to the colleges in the area. They were going to the colleges passing out flyers as well as talking to the students inviting them to church. Yesterday (Sunday) they had a special Sunday service directed at this age group. Bonnie said there were about 34 college students that gave their hearts to the Lord. What a blessing but also these students will need to be taught and discipled. They will be assigned to different groups (like care groups) meeting in different places with leaders overseeing the group. Bonnie will be leading one of these groups. (3) Please be praying that as they begin to meet that they will see fruit from their labor. Please be praying the Lord would continue to give Bonnie wisdom as she reaches out to these young women.
(4) Continue to pray for Bonnie as she teaches the children in her class that she would continue to have wisdom, creativity, and continue to find ways to show them the love of God through her life.
(5) Please pray that the Lord would lead Bonnie in possibly finding a roommate. I think this would be helpful for her financially as well as building a closer relationships with someone.
I always want to end my e-mails with a thanks to all of you who are praying and supporting Bonnie is so many ways. Let me continue to say as well how much each of you play such an important part in what she is doing in Zambia. Thanks to all of you who helped with gathering and buying things on Bonnie’s list that Doug Hayes will be taking the beginning of March on his visit to Zambia. Charles and I are so blessed and grateful for each and everyone of you!
Thank You!!

Quick Prayer Update February 17, 2011
Dear Family & Friends,
Just wanted to send out a quick prayer update for Bonnie. For about a week Bonnie has been sick with flu like symptoms. She has been trying to fight it with antibiotics while continuing to teach. Several of the kids in her class had the same symptoms. Please be praying for Bonnie as well as the children that they would recover quickly from whatever this is.
Also Bonnie started yesterday doing some tutoring with some of the kids in her class after school. She asked that you would be praying that the tutoring would go well.
Thank you again for your prayers.

Dear Family & Friends,
I wanted to start this e-mail out with a somewhat funny story. Bonnie has decided to go on a high protein diet (just kidding). Something that I grew up on and introduced to my own children at a young age for breakfast was rice with sugar and hot milk on top. We absolutely loved it. Bonnie decided to try and make this simple dish for her students. Soooooooooooooo she went to the grocery story and trying to be frugal with her money she bought inexpensive rice rather than the more costly rice. Big mistake. She went home and proceeded to cook the rice as she was accustomed to in the U.S. Fill the pot with water, brought it to a boil, and then put the rice in to cook. As the rice cook stuff started coming to the surface of the water. Not knowing what it was she began skimming the residue off the top. The more she skimmed the more came up. After doing this process for about 20 minutes the rice was done. As she took a closer look, at first she thought maybe this was baby ants that got into the rice. BUT as she looked more closely no it was not baby ants, but baby roaches. She then looked at the bag and the directions were a little different. She was supposed to rise the rice several times first, cook it and then rise several times more. Now she knows why. The conclusion she came to: Don’t buy cheap rice anymore. The end result, the kids loved the rice sugar and milk. Oh the differences she is finding in Africa but praise God adjusting to. As she would say “It is what it is” and therefore you do as they do, make the best with what you have.
Prayer Request:
Bonnie wanted me to give you all the names of her students so that you could be praying for them specifically by name.

2. Please continue to pray for Bonnie’s health that the Lord would continue to protect her. She has had 3 bouts with food poisoning, and flu like symptoms recently. You know if you have ever taught young children that it is hard not to catch what they bring to school, but God is faithful!!!!
3. The head teacher in the school “Susan” has been out of school sick. They just found out that she has some kind of liver and or kidney condition. Please pray that the Lord would heal her completely, we know that he can if it is his will! This has been a wonderful opportunity for Bonnie to go over and minister and encourage her. Bonnie went over and went grocery shopping for her and cooked some meals for her and her family. It is amazing how the Lord brings opportunity like this across our path to draw and knit hearts together. Isn’t He a good God!
4. As far as we know they are now in the process of painting Bonnie’s apartment so hopefully it won’t be too much longer before she can move in. Please pray the Lord would continue to provide for Bonnie as she has to go and buy a stove, refrigerator, bed and the everyday items to need to set up house. As she said in her last blog “He’s always been faithful to me” and he continues to provide for “ALL” her needs.
5. Please continue to pray that she would be able to find an affordable car. Wilbroad the pastor is helping her look and the finances would be there. It is amazing how the Lord provides for her!
Psalm 92:12-14 – The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing.
Isaiah 40:31 – Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Philippians 4:6 – Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be know to God.
Thank you Lord for the way you provide for Bonnie. Thank you for your faithfulness in her life and thank you that your mercies are new to her every morning. Each day could hold something very different for her, but you are with her! You are guiding her, protecting her, you are using her to touch lives for your glory. Thank you for the heart of love and compassion that you have given to her. Continue Lord to be her strength, her help, her guide, her protector. Continue to be he good Shepherd always watching over her. Thank you Lord for the work that you are about in Bonnie’s heart and life!
