Zambia Sports Team Video

Josh and Joseph served in Solwezi, Zambia for two months. They worked in the secondary schools doing sports ministry and teaching Bible studies. They also taught weekly Bible studies at our home and participated in weekly Christian radio shows that reached thousands of people in the area. Get a glimpse into the ministry of the Zambia Sports Team.

Dual Benefit

Josh & Joseph have been here for one month & they still have one more month of ministry before they head back to the US. We have really enjoyed having these two guys here with us and their ministry in the secondary schools has been a success. Relationships are beuing built, young people are accepting Christ as their Savior, and the guys are getting the experience of a lifetime. We'd love to have more teams like them come serve with us in the future. Not only do the people of Zambia benefit from a team's coming, but the team members also benefit in that they get to be a part of bringing the Gospel to the nations.

Youth Conference... Zambia style

Our humble abode for a few days for the Baptist youth conference. Pray for the Zambian youth that will be attending the youth conference.

Gift of Grace

The Zambian people are optimistic, joyful, friendly, and exceedingly open to learning more about God. Solwezi has a whole lot of churches, and most people attend faithfully. Most of the churches, however, have works based salvation and prosperity Gospel mixed throughout their doctrine and teaching. Because of this, many of the youths, some of whom have grown up in the church and thought they were Christians their entire lives, are completely blown away by the concept of salvation by grace and faith alone. (Some of them, I think, are also perplexed by the concept of serving God because we love Him, instead of serving Him because we want some material reward). We are grateful for the Zambians’ openness to the Gospel, and we are continually thankful for God’s provision in giving us opportunities to share his truth and love.

Pray that we would be bold in sharing God's gift of grace.

Sports, Bible Studies, & Dust

Josh and I are doing well in Solwezi, Zambia. We are enjoying the culture, the people, and the ministry. Tuesday through Friday we work in three different schools developing friendships through sports and Bible studies. On Saturdays, we lead a Bible study of our own, which is independent of any school; this allows us the freedom to carry on lengthy, in-depth conversations about countless topics in the Bible. On Sundays, we go to church in the mornings, sometimes play Volleyball with the youth in the afternoons, and we have, just recently, started accompanying our supervisor, Nicholas, to his radio shows on Sunday nights. All in all, life is going very well; we love the thrill of experiencing new things while growing in the Lord and helping others grow in their faith as well.

Prayer Requests:
Pray for more and more opportunities to share the Gospel with those who are open to hearing the truth – whether through teaching or through conversations. Pray that in these opportunities, we would have boldness and compassion.
Pray we would have wisdom and the ability to make smart, godly decisions with quickness and unity. Wisdom and God’s guidance are essential in so many different situations. Sometimes we arrive to a sports field expecting a certain amount of students and receive more than double that amount. We are almost constantly preparing many different Bible studies, each with different audiences and each in differing environments and atmospheres.

We are thankful to see God’s work, God’s provision, and God’s plan. It has been awesome to see how God has used our past experiences (i.e. public speaking) and testimonies to uniquely minister to the Zambian people.
