I spent the last few days at a "Preachers delight" conference hosted by Pastor Mark Smith of Faith Baptist Church in Tacoma Washington. The conference is designed to unite and encourage fundamental baptist preachers in the Northwest United States. Preaching, worship, and fellowship has accomplished its intended purpose in charging many batteries and preparing many for the upcoming battles in 2007.
A family from Faith Baptist church (The Traucht Family) is interested in coming to Kafulafuta Baptist Mission. One of my goals for this trip was to speak with Tom and his family and understand their desires and get a feel for their heart. Tom is taking a short (5 day) trip to Zambia to survey and get a perspective of the work, culture, and adaptations that are needed. Tom has asked me to join him and his pastor as they travel to Zambia at the end of January. Although this trip is very short, I am excited for the opporutinity to re-unite with some dear friends and family in Zambia.
Please continue to pray for the work in Zambia, the teaching in the Bible Institute, my move to Chipata, and all the logistics and resources needed to accomplish this - of course, we never want to lose sight of why we even go - for the furtherance of the gospel and for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ!!
