This Christmas season was full of activity for us. The Church here decided to put on a big Christmas party for the local community. It was a great joy to see the excitement and watch the Body come together & really make it happen. The afternoon started with children's events, including a big jumping castle, which many of them had never been on before. Before we knew it, there were over 200 children standing very impatiently in a line waiting for their turn, pushing themselves as far forward as possible in an attempt to move ahead in the line. Later in the evening we had a candlelight service where more than 20 raised their hands in response to an altar call. The Zambians loved the singing by candlelight, they just kept going, one song after another late into the night. The glow of joy n their faces seemed even brighter than the candles they held. Many people in the church provided gifts, which were such a delight to give out. Everyone loves gifts. How blessed we were to share the greatest gift to mankind, "a Savior which is Christ the Lord."
