‘The minute we saw the lake, I said to my husband Chris, “That’s it. I’m home”’.
Ever since she was a little girl, Nicola (Nicky) Tiltman had cherished a passion to become a missionary nurse. She had never even heard of Africa’s Lake Tanganyika until the couple applied to Operation Mobilisation (OM) and learned that a nurse and person with administrative skills were required in the lakeside town of Mpulungu. The job descriptions suited them both.
Chris and Nicky moved from England to Zambia in 2012 and by April they were settling into a vastly different lifestyle along the longest freshwater lake in the world. Their team had 40 missionaries, 33 of whom were Zambian.
