Church- African Style

Today we had our first full day in Zambia.  We had the opportunity to worship with Joyful Baptist Church, the church that has been our partner in planting churches in Lusaka.  

Here are some honest reactions from our team and check out the link included for a video so awesome you HAVE to see it: 


Forrest- "After 34 hours of travel, one minute in African Church and it was all definitely worth it."

Cynthia- "It was everything I imagined it to be and more!"

Gene- "Who would have guessed that they all showed up at the last minute just like Castle Hills."

Bill- "No wonder this church is named Joyful Baptist- they truly lived up to it."

Jessica- "When you attend a 3 hour church service sitting on a 2 X 4 pew and you come out wanting more- you know you've been to African church."

Ashton- "The cool thing was that the people really acted like they wanted to be there with all their heart."

Gabriel- "Spent most of the service choking back tears...what a service!"

Abigail- "Four different choirs sang and it was so exciting how you could hear their passion."


Check out this video you have to SEE to believe: African Worship Video






Every African worship service concludes with a precessional in which every member greets every other member.

  2. "O taste and see that the Lord is good!" When you have experienced Spirit-filled worship, it spoils you for anything less. I pray the Lord would be your shelter today and your guide, leading you to just the ones He has been preparing to hear the Good News of Jesus. I ask Him for health and energy for you. I pray the spiritual armor of God upon you, for you cannot resist the devil in your own strength, only that which God provides is adequate for your needs. May you be both blessed and a carrier of blessings! ---Grace's friend
