Saturday Outreach

Just wanted to update you on the weekend outreach.  Last night went really well.  There were about twice in attendance as compared to the first night.  The really cool thing was that the church pretty much ran the whole evening by themselves, except for us providing the projector and movie.  After the showing, a young man named Jeffrey, came to me and shared how he had become a Christian two years ago, but had been struggling with different issues since then. I tried to encourage him with the scripture that we are all new creations once we become followers of Christ and that with God's help, he needed to turn away from some of the things he was struggling with.  His story is common here in Zambia.  There are many in the church who are struggling with their relationships with God.  I am thankful for Action Zambia's calling to strengthen the church here in Zambia and I'm glad to be a part of this work.

This morning, there were 11 individuals who attended Great Commission as a result of the weekend outreach.  Some are new believers and some are believers who haven't been part of a church for a very long time.  Please pray for these dear people.  Pray that they would continue in the discipleship class that is being taught on the church Sunday mornings.  Pray that they would grow in their relationships with Christ and become active members of this congregation.  Please continue to pray for Great Commission.  Pray for the leadership.  Thank you for your prayers.
