Edson Chipupa is going!

One of the men we have trained here in Zambia has felt the call of God to go and reach others! For the last couple years he believed God wanted him in South Africa but the door never really seemed to open. Just over the last few months a door that seemed closed swung wide open and now Edson will be moving through that door and on the way to Angola in mid-February!!

It is quite exciting for us to see our men hear the call of God in their life and respond as the prophet Samuel did, "Speak, for thy servant heareth." Edson has been faithful to minister in his local church in the North West Province town of Mwinilunga for the last several years. He is a soul winner, Bible student, and great example!!

Please pray for Edson as he will have many needs both spiritually and physically as this move takes place! Praise the LORD!

Rom 6:4

First, let me apologize for not having any visual aids. Appears my camera was taken from my carry on during the last leg of our flight to Zambia...

...Today - we went to a growing rural church. This church has always welcomed us and the pastor always encourages me to come back anytime. So - today, I brought my wife along and I preached from Romans 6 - to "walk in newness of life". The church was packed (96)! It felt great to get back to Zambia and begin preaching regularly again.

The preaching went well and the Holy Spirit brought conviction! We had a handful of both men and women come forward... praise the LORD! It was a joy to see my wife take the ladies in a back room to counsel them, bring them through some Scripture, pray with them and lead 3 of them to a place of faith and repentance in our Great God and Saviour! What a wonderful God! And, what a blessed man I am to have such a Spirit-filled wife!


Please pray for the 4 people that received Christ as Saviour today!

Our special day

The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind of activity as Savannah and I entered into our marriage covenant together. As we look back - we see so many friends and family that came to be a part of our very special day. It warmed our hearts as we realized how loved and cared for we really are. We have counted this time as a true gift from God!
