Inward Renewal

Lots of progress was made throughout the week on the building project.  In between work, we fit in various orientation sessions about life and ministry with Action Zambia.  One such session was devoted to the reality of animism and witchraft in Zambia.  Even though many locals might be open to elements of Christianity, many still look to ancestral spirits and even witchcraft for help in solving life’s problems.  Kalolo Mulenga briefed them about this reality before they helped a local church conduct outreach in some of the rural parts around Ciyanjano.  Below are a few pictures from that time of outreach.  The Mt. Morris team split up with local church members leading the way and visited village settlements where they: shared about the person and work of Jesus Christ, handed out hygeine kits, and extended a personal invitation to each family to come to church to hear a special Gospel presentation message.  Twelve to fifteen homes were visited before sundown and the team is prayerfully expecting many to come church on Sunday to hear Pastor Bruce preach.  Jailos and Boniface (members of the church) were ecstatic at the response the team received.
