Second Report
Written by Lauren Baldwin

Zambia was amazing and I am already counting down the days until I get to go back. The actual traveling time was long, but completely worth it.

I cannot even begin to tell you how blessed it makes me feel to have family and friends praying for me and thinking of me! Thank you so much for praying for me and for God's work in Zambia.

These were my girls week 2: (same age as last week) I am mentioning them by name so if you are led to do so, please keep them in your prayers!
Bupe, Eunice, Charity, Cleopatra, Fatima, Rounert, Martha, Queen, Rita, and Tina

The same schedule pretty much goes on every week at camp (like I shared with week one update). Week 2 went faster for me, maybe because I knew what to expect and more adjusted to the time difference; however, many amazing testimonies and lives changed were still experienced in very real and powerful ways!

My biggest story update from my second week of campers is that one of my girls is a prostitute, sleeps with up to six men a day, has basically every STD known about and probably AIDS too, but we had not heard back when I left about the AIDS test. So she definitely needs prayers; her name is Charity.
One of my friends on the trip (an American) has an amazing story that gives me chills. She went to Zambia for the first time two summers ago, and when she went she was very anti-anything having to do with Christianity, because she was involved in an incident in which a high-up male of her church touched her in a way that was inappropriate. Anyway, upon arriving to Zambia she was kind of overwhelmed because she had gotten boys assigned to her and didn't know if she was gonna be able to relate to them, etc. During a blessing time with a boy named Gift, she asked if she could pray for him, and he said "no let me pray for you." She began to bawl; she had not cried in a few years because that incident had basically shut her down emotionally.

She came back to Zambia this year and looked for Gift, but he could not come to camp because he was in government school (this is a good thing). On Thursday, in the compounds, she finds Gift. He pulls out the picture of she and him from his certificate (all campers receive a certificate with picture of them and counselor to remember the week by) and says to her, "I have not forgotten about you, I pray for you every day and fasted for you because I knew you couldn't."
My friend almost "lost it" because the reason that she couldn't go to Zambia last summer is because she was in an in-patient treatment program for anorexia. What an amazing story about how awesome God is to connect people in the natural and in the supernatural!

Thank you all again for the many prayers, thoughts, written blessings and support for me to be able to experience what I did. Be expecting a letter with more information soon! 


Love to all,  

Lauren Baldwin


Lauren Baldwin Story
LaurenBaldwin.jpg

Lauren Baldwin lives in Dallas, Texas. She is a Daughter of the King who continues to shine like a light in the world. Lauren's amazing love to grow and flourish stems from being blessed and raised in a Christian home. "God has faithfully brought alongside people and events that have helped "prepare, shape and equip" Lauren for this season of her life and certainly by no accident!  All part of a mighty plan that each of you have been involved with in some special way (directly or indirectly)," stated Payte and Sue Baldwin.
 
The Baldwin's believe that, "The foundational truths and principles she was taught at North Davis Church, Hurst, Texas, through amazing Sunday school teachers during her toddler and younger years. Sharing in the experience of the power of prayer many, many times by having hands layed on her and being prayed over by members of the body of Christ, thus showing her "how to do it" and how to pass it on to be a channel of God's blessing to others.  Humbly walking in to and taking the responsibilities that come with that missionary heart that was passed down through generational blessings."

Sue stated that, "It is obvious that God has grown Lauren in AMAZING ways and has put a deep and convicting love in her heart for His people in Africa ....just as many had voiced and prayed would happen!!" Lauren's life has also been impacted by attending the Women of Honor Conferences, in Dallas, Texas.  Lauren participated in the 2008 “Daughters of the King” session and committed to making a difference in every phase of her life.  She has walked worthy of God’s call and He has granted her “favor and a good name in the sight of God and man”. Proverbs 3:4   

 


"Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. 
She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor" Proverbs 4: 8 - 9
