Visit to Victoria Falls before Heading Home

Before heading for home mid-week, the Banda's took us to the most scenic (and most famous) location in Zambia--the world-famous Victoria Falls. The 7 hour trip was educational to say the least, but while in Livingstone (the city on the Zambia side of the Zambezi River and Falls), we had the chance to see one of the wonders of the world.

We were able to see the falls up close and personal, so to say. The shere volume of water that tumbles over this mile-wide, 340 foot drop is truly powerful and overwhelming. When David Livingstone (of "Dr. Livingstone, I presume..." fame) became the first white man to see the falls in 1856, he understood why the locals called the thundering river, "Mosi-oa-Tunya"--the smoke that thunders! It truly does!

We enjoyed the Zambezi river area and were able to see a croc. on the river and several pods of Hippos. We have deeply appreciated the hospitality of the Bandas and the Zambian brethren. While our work here was short, we hope this is the beginning of future projects to help and serve God's people in Zambia.
