Zambia: Learning to Listen

What a day this has been! After a challenging start (a bus with a dead, or mostly dead battery), we began our day joined by a room full of pastors and lay care volunteers belonging to a network of 26 churches connected to the Jubilee Centre. After some time of worship and side-splitting icebreakers, Rich and Kiersti did an amazing job facilitating a training workshop focused on the art of listening in the context of caring. After a hearty lunch of authentic Zambian food, the rest of the group went to get a tour of the community elementary schools. As we process what we experienced and saw, the lessons we draw from this with continue to reverberate in our hearts for and minds.
