A mouth full

This Sunday I preached at Kalalangabo Bible Baptist Church... as much as I tried to remember the name of this church - it seemed to come out garbled every time an attempt was made. The last time I visited this church, the walls were made of mud and the roof was grass. Today, the walls were made from burnt brick and the roof from aluminum roofing sheets. A church in the States had a program to give a roof to churches that would do the rest - praise the LORD, this church stepped up to the task and has almost finished the work.

There are still some areas that need to be finished - pews, doors, paint. For the most part, this church is in great shape. It is a thrill to see these people trust the Lord and move forward - they now have a wonderful place to meet for church service, bible study, choir, etc... hallelujah!

I preached a message from Colossians 3: the Risen Saviour, the Right path, the Real Christian. It seemed like the people understood the message - some responded to the message and re-dedicated their lives. Always an exciting time to see the Lord work in the hearts of His people!

Kalalangabo - how do you pronounce that!?

I can't even say it when I'm looking right at it! How wonderful to see a growing church. Who pastors it - a missionary or a national?

Kala-lan-gabo... does that help? ;)

The pastor is a Zambian man. He is being helped by a Zambian man that graduated from the Bible Institute. Good to see them working together.
