A special couple...

A beautiful sunrise - September 1, 2012 - Kasempa, Zambia
Well today, the first day of Spring marks a very special day in the Lean family.  Today we are celebrating the marriage of Josh (Dave's brother) to Janelle Hingston.  It's wonderful to be welcoming Janelle into our family.  This couple is not only our family but also our very dear friends. We are so grateful to God for the way that he has brought them together and for the way that they joyfully serve God, wanting Him to be the focus in all.  

Whilst we have especially missed home today, we were so grateful to be able to watch the ceremony live via the web here in Kasempa - a special treat indeed! It was a challenge to witness the vows and be reminded again of our need for Christ to be the centre of it all.

Watching the service via the net  at 5am local time - thanks CNBC tech crew!   Talk about being under dressed!
The wonders of modern technology
The kiss...
Introducing - Mr & Mrs Lean!!  
Josh & Nels - we love you guys heaps and are so excited for you today!  May God bless you in the steps you take together in the days to come.
