We enjoyed having a couple men from the States help out with preparations for our August conference - in the midst of all this work, we took the 3 hour drive down a difficult road to preach in Kitwe west. Because of the distance and road - we rarely get there. I thought it a good opportunity to visit while we had visitors.
This church has experienced some transition of late - the pastor was found with a less than spotless reputation and therefore removed. A new man trained from our Bible institute has replaced him and so far the church seems to have embraced him. Hopefully the Lord will use this to help sober everyone up and allow the members to grow nearer to our Lord.
One of the visitors gave his testimony and the other preached a message - after listening to both men speak - it amazed me how although Zambians and Americans live thousands of miles apart and have distinct cultures - we all have the same sin struggles and need for the same solution. Praise the Lord for these men coming and sharing God's word...
The new pastor is working building a small house by the church - please pray as they mold bricks and try to purchase the supplies necessary to make it happen before the rainy season.
