Ministry Stuff

This evening, we had our weekly cell group meeting at the home of Alex Mwelembwe's.  Alex is a deacon at Great Commission.  We mixed things up tonight.  Instead of doing bible study, we played a game "2 Truths, 1 Lie."  The object of the game is for everyone to share two truth's about themselves along with a lie.  It is up to the group to then figure out which statement is a lie.  Here is some of the things we learned about each other:

• Pastor Kandela has walked 100 kilometers in less than 18 hours.
  
• Deacon Alex, when he was a child, threw hot chili powder into the eyes of a girl at her birthday party.
• Another brother by the name of Michael wasn't involved in a minibus accident.
• Henry is 16, not 14 years old.
• Amayi Jenny doesn't have 4 children.
• Carol goes to Kafue National Park to do evangelism; and
• Abusa Kandela didn't eat a snake as his 1 lie claimed he had.

It was a good change of pace and very encouraging to see my Zambian brothers and sisters laughing and sharing stories about themselves.  Please pray for this group.  Pray that we would grow in our relationships with the Lord and with each other.  Pray that Luke and I would be able to equip these believers to also share with others what the Lord is doing in their lives.
