We have also been discussing the situation and needs of the group of expectantmums who wait at the hospital to give birth, sometimesmanymonths, they arecalled‘TheWaiters’.
Some‘Waiters’atStFrancisHospital
“Due to the threat of Covid-19 all theprogrammes have currently beenstopped but the ‘Waiters’ continue toarrive at the hospital. In discussionwith Esther we have been able toprovide funds for them to provide Jivewater containers for handwashing,soapandmaterialstomakefacemasks
Someofthemasksprovidedtothe‘Waiters’.The hospital and area have established good contingency plans and emergencyresponse teams ready forany suspectedCovid-19patients though thankfully theyhave none so far. They ask for our continued prayers for their protection fromCovid-19.”

BishopRuthsays,“IsentmybestwishestotheZambianbishopsthisweekasIhavebeenunabletovisit.I’msoverysorrythatIcan’tjointhembuthopeandtrustthat they and all our Zambian brothers and sisters continue to know God’s richblessingsandresourcefulpeaceatthistime.Iassuredthebishopsthatwecontinueto pray for them and look forward to the timewe can join together once againeitherinZambiaorwhentheLambethConferencecantakeplace.Iknowthatmanyothers across the diocese also continue to hold Zambia in their prayers andwasdelightedtohearfromKarenButtthisweek,whoisoneoftheteamwhovisitedaspart of the 40RS anniversary celebrations. During the visit she connected with apriest’swife,EstherMwanza,andhascontinuedtoworkwithhertosupportpeopleinZambia.”

We have also been discussing the situation and needs of the group of expectantmums who wait at the hospital to give birth, sometimesmanymonths, they arecalled‘TheWaiters’.
Some‘Waiters’atStFrancisHospital
“Due to the threat of Covid-19 all theprogrammes have currently beenstopped but the ‘Waiters’ continue toarrive at the hospital. In discussionwith Esther we have been able toprovide funds for them to provide Jivewater containers for handwashing,soapandmaterialstomakefacemasks
Someofthemasksprovidedtothe‘Waiters’.The hospital and area have established good contingency plans and emergencyresponse teams ready forany suspectedCovid-19patients though thankfully theyhave none so far. They ask for our continued prayers for their protection fromCovid-19.”
