We had a Zambian mission team come help us out from Kasama. On Thursday, September 30th, Steve drove to Kasama for supplies for us and brought back six leaders from the churches in Kasama. Two more arrive by bus on Friday and one via a truck late on Friday night. Two women stayed in Heather’s room and the men camped in tents in our yard. We hired two Zambian women to do all the cooking.
Late Thursday they went prayer walking in Maround. Friday and Saturday they walked around Maround, talking and witnessing to people. Both evenings we showed the Jesus Film in the Mambwe language. Then after that, one of the guys preached.
On Sunday morning we had a church service in the community center. It was wonderful to come together and worship. The team did a wonderful job.
We have been meeting every Sunday since then. Sometimes it is disappointing at how few come. Steve and Wigan are visiting them during the week.
A side note: Wigan in in Lusaka for medical reasons. So one of the guys from Kasama came up last weekend and this weekend to help us out.
Our children came down with colds and so this is the first weekend I have missed and stayed home with three sick children. Steve came home to say what a good worship service it was and that four new men were there. Poor Steve, the ones that come are mostly women, even in his Saturday Bible study. So it is quite exciting to have four new men show up.
Please pray for Wigan as he is going to have to stay in Lusaka longer than expected. They cannot find out what is wrong. Also, we will be traveling to Lusaka for supplies and to celebrate Thanksgiving. Pray for safe travel.
