Hi all - we had an eventful drive to Polokwane yesterday - got a little lost on the way and ended up in a dodgey area!! Last night we meet with the Samaria Mission team of Christ Baptist Church. What a blessing to see the work they are doing in rural Mozambique. There are many similarities to our work in Samfya so it has been good to learn from them. They are using New Tribes Missions material very successfully and this may have a real application in rural Zambia.
Today Donald has been meeting with Pastor Nicki Cortze and learning of the Seminary ministry. This would be a wonderful place to see teaching staff trained for Samfya, and indeed they already have a student from the Copperbelt in Zambia who speaks Bemba! Partnership with exisiting works here in Africa is essential as we plan towards the future.
Tonight we meet with Pastor Nicki's home group and will share from Colossian 3:1-4 and also talk of the work in Samfya. Tomorrow we head to Pretoria to pick up our new travel documents and stay with Pastor Joel James and also visit with Dr Wayne Mack and his wife Carol. Thanks for your prayers.
