Normally we travel into the "bush" to preach and teach...however, this Sunday we went to a church in a nearby compound within Chipata. The church is less than 2 years old but has attendance of over 100 on a regular basis. The pastor is one of my students at the Bible school and seems to be really applying a lot of what he is learning. It was great to have the whole family with me this week! Often I am unable to bring the whole family because of distance and conditions (some places are just not conducive to an 18 month old).
In preparing for the message I came across Mark 11:22 where Jesus simply says, "Have faith in God". So - that became the theme of the message. I pulled out some things from Hebrews 11 and other various texts and preached on:
- Saving Faith
- Living Faith
- Mature Faith
The message seemed to be well received! As soon as the hymn began people started coming forward for counsel and prayer. In all, more than 15 from this small church were meeting with God!
The Church is situated on the hillside overlooking Chipata. There was a wonderful breeze making the temps very nice and the view was just mesmerizing - praise the Lord!
