Later today (Wednesday, August 6th), I'll leave for a visit to Zambia. I'll fly from St. Louis to Dallas to Doha (Qatar) to Lusaka, Zambia. Pastor Ibrahim will meet me in Lusaka. From there, we'll take a nine-hour bus ride to Kitwe in the Copperbelt Province. We'll be there for weekend worship services and a four-day training seminar with the four pastors and a few church leaders. Following the seminar, we'll head back to Lusaka, where we'll spend a day meeting with contacts in Lusaka and the surrounding area. Hopefully, we'll be able to get some definitive answers on what is holding up the church registration process. Then we'll take another long bus ride to Livingstone in the south for a training seminar with the pastors and church leaders in the area.
Pastor Ibrahim and the Zambia-CLC (ZCLC) continue to face challenges related to issues caused by other ministries in the Livingstone area. This situation began a few years ago when some pastors became jealous of the outreach efforts of the ZCLC and the CLC Mission Helpers. You can read about it HERE. Please pray for the Lord's blessings on our travels, preaching, and teaching, as well as our efforts to address the struggles that have hindered the Gospel ministry of the ZCLC in recent years.
