A milestone for the work in Zambia

My dad cc'd me on this report to Emmaus Ministries, and I thought I would post it here for your encouragement:

"With gratitude to the Lord we can report that in December we reached a milestone with our 10,000th student. The 10,000 students whom we have served here in Mansa (the figure does not include the students served by other offices that we used to include in our statistics) have together successfully completed more than 82,000 courses over the past 11 ½ years. Eight percent of these have been in English and 92% in Bemba."
