BACK
IN ZAMBIA
We feel that we are final ly getting settled in since returning to Zambia
our
1987/88 furlough.
The congregations got
along
reasonably
well
in
absence; it
was a
time
of maturing fo r them. We
s till s ee so much more
needs to be done; it is hard to know
where
to begin.

HELP HELP
All ofthe congregations that we workwith need Bibleschool materials for the children and yo
people. We
need
your help in getting teaching materials in good condition (preferably new ) to
tribute to them. Unused
DVBS craft
packets would be great too.
If
you
have some of
these
item
storage
at
your
church,
or if you wish to purchase them new,
please
mail them to us as soon as you
them. There is an ongoing need, so
this
is an ongoing request. Left over Lookouts, etc. could be u
also. Write on your boxes: Gift Bible teaching materials.
THE WELL
We have some work
to
do on the well,
located in
the
bush at the Mungu churchbuilding which
is
within th e K afu flats
area.
The cover (which
was damaged)
fell into
th e
well.
Thieves stole the
chain
from th e windlas s. S ince digging
and con
structing the well in 1984, it
has never
gone dry.
Recently we
planned
to
dig
the well a
bit
deeper,
and
construct
a
new
cover (for safety and
hygiene). As
it
turned out, one
of
the
church
lea de rs w as involved
in
a n
ox
c a r t m i n i b u s
accident,
so th e
work
was
postponed.
The n ex t
t ime the work w a s
scheduled
w e w ere ra ined
out.
So,
up
to now, this
job
is still to be done.
The
well is
still
b eing u sed s in ce
th e people bring
their
own
rope and bucket.
THE CONFERENCE
The Well.
Many ofthe men (leaders and future leaders) in the Kafue flats area were able togather rece
for the 1988Kafue Urban/Rural Men's Conference. Wehad forty-three registrants and attenda
and we
studied the
Armour
ofGod. This was
on
overnight
conference where I provided
the
food
an
evening meal
and
a continental
breakfast
of bread
and hot
tea. I am considering using
method on a periodic basis to replace
the
week-by-week one-hour-of-study method.
NEW
SONG
BOOKS
We were able to purchase about one hundred
new
song
books in
the vernacular
to distribute
to
five
congregations
recently. At th e s ame time
we
distributed a quanti ty of new, plastic commun
i on cups,
and issued a new Church Reports book.
We struggle constantly to get
our
hands on song
books,
teaching
materials, reading
material,
etc.
PREVENTION CLIN ICS
If our c ra te
ever
arrives
(it
le ft New Orle an s on
the 28th of July and is long
over-due
containing
5000 toothbrushes, among
other things)
we are

MARTI 'S P A G E
It was good to visit
with
you, renew old
friendships and
make
new ones. How
very
much we apprec ia te your sharing

It
was

We
know
that
manyof
you
have
been praying for us and
the

support has real ly helped.
T h e c h ur ch es we w or k w it h h a v e d o n e

so

who,
through

them.
Most

ued to meet while I was away. This was a real answer to prayer. I ve begun my class
at
An
Church of Chr is t in Chelston,
and
we are s tudying some of the Psa lms.
The ladies
at Chikupi
have asked me to
plan
a conference for
them.
Tentatively wehave selec
March date for the conference. We will invite the ladies from the Mungu
and
West Side K
churches
to come
and share
with
us.
Please
pray
for renewed
strength
and
spiritual growth
r e s u l t
o f t h e
c o n f e r e n c e .
I am aga in teaching grade six at the American Embassy School of Lusaka, and Andrew is
o
my twelve s tu de nt s. I have seven different
nationalities
this year: American, Austrian, Bel
German,
Danish,
Tanzanian
and
Swedish. Please
pray
for
the
Lord to
use
me as a Christian tea
It is a wonderful opportunity to touch young lives thatmay someday be leaders of importance in
h o m e c o un t ri es .
The New Year is here, and there is much to accomplish.
It
would be easy to be overwhelmed b
magnitude of
the
work.
It
is good to remember
that
we are
not
alone;
that the
Lord goes
ahe
prepare
the
way, giving us opportunities to reach
out
in
His
name.
Galatians6:9,10 says it well:
let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. So then, w
we
have
opportunity, le t us do good to
al l
men, and
especially
those who are of
the
household o
faith. (NAS)
IN
HONOR
This

THE
CONFERENCE
The 1989 Kafue Urban /Rura l L adies C on
fe rence was
a
t r emendous success
The
conference came at a good time when all th e
participating churches (West S id e at Kafue,
Mungu and Chikupi) needed a spiritual lift
Held
in the bush
at Chikupi,
there
were about
thirty
ladies there (plus
babies)
to
study
subjects like:
how
to
read
and
study
the Bible;
how
to
pray;
marriage, children and
the
home. Each group
shared a
skit
or special
music with
the
other
ladies. The fellowship
was
sweet, and
th e
spirit
of cooperation
between the groups
showed
great
matu ri ty . Ano ther ladies conference
is
planned
for October, before the rains begin.

BETHANY
CONGREGATION
Our newest congregation,
Bethany, located in
Ng ombe Compound of
Lusaka,
is progressing quite
well we
think.
Even though we
have lost two of our
original families, the Lord
has
brought
in
some re
placements. On three occasions recently
we
have had
forty-two or forty-three
in
attendance. Since
our first
service in
April, 1989,
seventeen souls have con
fessed
Christ
and been baptized. As a result of ou r
growing pains, we
have just
finished doubling
th e
s ize of
our temporary shelter. Our search
for land
continues, and seeking
permission to
build requires
an
incredible amoun t o f time
every
day or
so .
The
young
people
have been organized into
a
youth choir
which adds a lo t to our worship
services.
MUMBWA CONFERENCE
In an area west
of
Lusaka called the Mumbwa District, our churches (about twe lve of them) he ld
semiannual
family
conference recently. Lasting five days, most of the congregations were
represented, giving us a total
attendance at
the main session one evening
of
250. I spoke on four dif
topics
during the
two days
that I attended. I
have recently

My thoughts wing home to America each t ime I
receive
a
letter,
a
phone call, or read
about
her
in
the
news. I remember all
the
many reasons
why
I
love
my countr y. The magic and beauty o f her
changing seasons; the friendliness and love ofGod's
people
there;
th e willingness
to
reach out
and
help
others. In
short,
I choose to
have
a selective memory
of the
good
th ings about
America.
I
tend
to
forget
and
overlook those things
that
do not fi t my
beautiful
picture.
None of
us likes to think
of
drugs,
homeless
people,
AIDS,
pornography,
etc.
They
are not a part
of
th e
American dream fo r
Christians, nor
are they
a
part
of
t he Zambian
Christian's dream. The Lord
Jesus Christ helps
us to see (with distress)
the
world
as it truly
is
not
as a
pretty
picture
unfortunately
but one
o f war , hatred
and
Godlessness.
Our Lord
also
enables
us to see
h o w th e
world c ou l d
be
under
His power, and gives us hope fo r the future. II Peter
3:9-14 is abundantly
clear.
We read:
what
sor t o f
people
ought
you we) to
be
in holy conduct and
godliness, . .
. .
We
also
read:
be di ligent
to
be
found
by Him in
peace,
spotless and
blameless,. . . .
In
H im
we c an
mak e
a difference.
