Back from the bush


I returned yesterday from 6 days in the rural areas of the southern province of Zambia. The ministry went great! We went back to two of the villages we ministered in during the July expedition. When I arrived in Kanchele, I was surprised to find out that many rumors regarding our previous visit had started. They were saying that we had been thrown in jail for being in the country illegally and were also satanists. It's amazing sometimes at the attempts that Satan makes to destroy the work that the Lord is doing in the lives of people. Fortunately, we were able to meet with the leaders of all the churches and dispel all of the rumors. The enemy constantly warps peoples view of Christianity, but we know that the power of the Word of God can break through any strongholds that Satan has tried to put up. Kanchele has changed so much in such a short times but the churches are growing stronger and the ancestral traditions are losing their hold on the hearts of the people. We've seen people healed, filled with the Spirit of God, and so thirsty for the Word that they ask question after question in order to gain understanding. Praise the Lord for His truth and the power that He has!
