Maternity Ward

GCMS has been running a small clinic for the last many years. Although small, we have done our best to make sure medicine is stocked and equipment is maintained. It appears these efforts have been noticed. Through the efforts of Lorna Sarra (clinic administrator) the Zambian government has selected our clinic to be exanded. The work is currently under way for a maternity ward extension. We are quite excited to be upgrading our clinic so quality health care may be administered to more Zambians!

nice wheels!

Just recently we were blessed to have the resources to purchase a small 15 passenger used mini-bus for our Bible Institute. Previously we took our students on evangelism and for community service in the back of a flat bed truck. The truck only had seats for 2 people! Although it worked, the students would arrive normally coated with dirt from the roads. This new tool allows us to more effectively reach people with the gospel! We just continue to rejoice in seeing our Lord provide! It is wonderful to see God answer the prayers of His people and provide in such an exciting manner!

Please continue praying as we look to purchase a second vehicle that will act as an ambulance for our clinic. Our current ambulance vehicle is in need of replacement. We have most of the money we need for this second vehicle it is now just a matter of finding a good used vehicle!

he that ploweth should plow in hope

Some time ago we received a tractor from some people in the States. However, at the time there were no attachments available. Thankfully, earlier this year we received just what was needed. We have some property that we are hoping to farm to really help supplement our conferences with maize and vegetables. None of us are really farmers so please be praying for God's wisdom and guidance in all of this. We are trying to "plow in hope"!! Thank you to all those that pray, give, and send us supplies and such things to help the people and keep this ministry moving forward.

Kalima - Sunday School Conference

We took the 3 hour drive over some pretty rough roads to get to Kalima Bible Baptist Church. Since Savannah gets tired easily because of her pregnancy, we decided she should stay back for this one. I later told her, this church was 25 km past the middle of no where! It always amazes me people actually inhabit such places... but, praise the LORD - we have established some churches!

Although a long day, we had a wonderful service. 4 churches gathered at Kalima for a 3 day Sunday School conference. In total, there were 202 people. I was told 11 adults and 51 children were saved over the three previous days. On Sunday, we had another 2 adults plus 8 more children get saved! It is truly wonderful to see the power of God continue to work even in the most hard to reach areas!

Please pray for Pastor Paul as he has only been the pastor for 1 year and has a large task of discipling these new believers as well as leading the rest of the flock forward!

Zambian Police Donation

When I first arrived in Zambia, many government offices in Zambia would be without any typewriter or computer. Things were very much done by writing a letter using ink. Today there is some change. Occasionally when visiting an office you will see a typewriter or maybe even a computer.

Over the last couple years we have established a very good working relationship with the Masaiti Police. Mr. Magawa (Officer in Charge) has become a personal friend of mine. Some time ago he requested if possible we could provide a computer for the police to be using. Today we were able to make his request come true! I AM was able to ship a couple computers on the last container dontated by church members from the States. Although not the primary role of a missionary, these type of donations go a long way to help build relationships that sometimes the Lord uses to open doors for evangelism, bible studies, and maybe even new church plants.

We were able to give the desktop, the monitor, & 2 flash drives. We were hoping to come up with a printer but that will need to wait until some time in the future.
