Team Zambia 2016 - Day Three Update

Day Three- Tuesday

Today was truly a full day with hut-to-hut evangelism in the morning and Vacation Bible School in the afternoon.

Here are a few bullet point highlights I hope will bless your heart:

AFRICAN BREAKFAST TACOS?

• The day began with breakfast tacos! Seriously- we bought fresh eggs and a flatbread that resembles tortillas that is called “Chipate” and John Reynolds put his chef hat on and made a great meal!

A MUSLIM RECEIVES JESUS

• One of our teams led a muslim lady in her 70’s to Christ who was willing to denounce all faith in anything but Jesus when her two grown daughters also prayed to trust Jesus for eternal life.

PUTTING YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR FAITH IS

• One of our teams talked to a man who was asked the question: “what does it mean to be born again?” They were so surprised when he answered: “to become a Christian by believing in Jesus.” So- they asked him if he’d believed in Jesus and he said no. They shared the gospel and he was so overjoyed after praying that he asked to speak to Pastor Banda (our African Pastor) because he wants to help the church get land on which to build a church building.

MICHAEL TO MEET FRIDAY ON SUNDAY

• At our Holiday Bible School this afternoon I was able to lead a young man who was 17 years old to faith in Jesus. Our teenagers were amazed to see his notebook and see that he was doing precal math! As it turns out, he lives very near the young man I told you about on Sunday (who’s name is Friday!) I told him that one year ago Friday had prayed the same prayer of faith. He was excited to have a friend in the compound with whom he could begin to read God’s word. They will meet at church this Sunday.

OUR LITTLE AFRICAN EVANGELIST

• A little boy came up to Hannah yesterday and asked if he could have more of the invite cards we brought for the new church plant. Hannah said she had about 12 cards in a stack and so she gave them to the boy. He came beaming today to Bible School and told her that he had gone around the compound to his friends and gave them all out so they could come to church with him this Sunday at the new church.
