Team Zambia 2018- Day 5

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING- THE BOYS CAME TO CHRIST

Thank you for praying for the young men who were leaders among their peers in VBS. Three of them came today and truly understood the gospel. All three prayed to receive Jesus.

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING- Greg Davis has been feeling much better and was able to rejoin the team for VBS this afternoon.  

169 kids attended VBS Today.

 

THE HARVEST

The Harvest this week has been extraordinary and has shown that God truly does honor the faithfulness of workers in his field. Here are some of the results so far:

Our team has presented the gospel 115 times in the last four days to 256 people and 111 people have trusted Jesus as Savior.

SHARING THE GOSPEL IN A BUS!

In sharing the gospel today one of our teams came across an area where busses park. One group of guys were working on their bus. They asked if they could share a story and they actually  opened the bus and invited our team in to talk. The team shared the story by drawing it on a piece of paper. In the middle of the presentation they had to move the bus so they stopped and helped them push it out of the way and then they had to move to the bus behind in order to finish sharing the gospel. Even with all the interruptions, all three men prayed to receive Christ.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO PLANT A CHURCH IN AFRICA?

We thought we would give you an idea of what has gone into our mission and where we fit in.

Here’s the basic idea:

1.     The International Mission Board issued an invitation to come and work in Zambia

2.     The Missionaries identify a church in Africa with a vision to sponsor a new church

3.     The Sponsoring Church identifies an African national who is called to Pastor

4.     The Missionaries combine with the leadership of the sponsoring church to train the new pastor.

5.     An area is selected where a church needed

6.     The missionaries and sponsoring church leaders cover the area through prayer walking

7.     A location where the new church will meet is located. (usually a school)

8.   A MISSION-MINDED CHURCH SENDS A WELL-TRAINED TEAM TO SATURATE THE AREA WITH THE GOSPEL (THANK YOU CASTLE HILLS)

9.     The names of all new believers are carefully recorded and given to the new pastor

10.  The new pastor partners with mature believers from the sponsoring church to follow up on each new believer.

11.  The Church Grows and Plants Another Church
