Video!

This video from Covenant Mercies provides a small glimpse into what Zambia is like.

So what's going on here?

Hello world!

My name is Andrew Calvetti, and on behalf of Mitchell Pierson and Alaina Webber, I welcome you to our blog.

If our title is leaving you scratching your head, I hardly blame you. Operation 13/28 does seem like a rather desultory blog title. Please allow me to explain.

13/28 is the latitude and longitude of Ndola, Zambia. No, this is not where I live. But, this is where Covenant Mercies is sending a missions team this summer. This team is going to be constructing a building for Lighthouse Christian School, which is a school for children who have been orphaned by AIDS. My church, Providence Church of Pittsburgh, is supplying the people for this missions team. Along with my dad, and some twenty other people (including Mitchell and Alaina), I will be leaving for Zambia in the month of July. Right now, we working through the fundraising process, which includes this blog. If you feel that God is possibly calling you to donate to our cause, all that we ask is $13.28. If you cannot give financially, I would ask you to pray for our trip. Here are some specific areas that need prayer

• That God would provide for all the financial needs of each and every person going on this trip
• That God would be working in the hearts of those who are going to recieve us in Zambia
• That we would experience the protective hand of God while we are on our trip
• That God would ultimately use us to show forth his glory in a crooked and twisted world

Thank you for your time!

Andrew Calvetti
