We are just about to board a long flight back to the States... Ndola Zambia... via Johannesburg South Africa.... via Abu Dabi UAE... Dulless... should take 2 days, one flight is 16hrs, keep the kids and my wife in your prayers!
As we take the step towards a new country (Tanzania), and an extended summer in Baltimore, we are filled with encouragement by what God has done here in the last 10 years.... (pictures below)
I am reminded of Ruth, where Naomi said she went out full and after 10 years came back empty... for us it's been a case of coming here as a young single guy who knew nothing, and flying out of Zambia with the 5 of us... I have been so enriched by what God has done here. The 5 years in Lusaka, learning under Pastor Renaldo, discipling and continuing to be discipled, being lovingly and patiently "coached" by him as we planted the 2nd church in Lusaka, (Lilanda), served as totally valuable preparation for the church plant in Kitwe, 5 hrs north, near the border of Congo, where today we leave a church body, many disciples, 30 students, 13 graduates, a church property with a dormitory, classroom, beginnings of a Christian school, an interim chapel under construction, leaders, daily outreaches, daily prayer, daily word, the grace message with a finished work emphasis preached and lived daily, and a radio outreach which is reaching new people in new cities every week. We come out with a high hand, full!!!! God has been so good and merciful to us!!!
We are so excited for our contacts and friends and plans in Dar es Salaam Tanzania and we ask you to keep us in your prayers and Benson Chinyanta specifically in your prayers as he takes over here and continues to build on the foundation we have laid. He is a precious disciple and man of God.
