Why Missions?
We know, the Bible says in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Jesus came with a heart of love for a lost and dying world. Just before His ascension to Heaven He looked to His disciples and said to them, "…Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you" (John 20:21)
It is for this reason that we believe the Lord would have us to take the gospel to the Zambian people. There are literally millions of Zambian nationals, who have never heard the message of salvation. The Lord has allowed us to establish the a brand new work in Zambia - The Hillcrest Baptist Church. We have seen at-least two new additions every week. We are also engaged in home bible studies. We are witnessing the work of the gospel first hand as we see homes transformed and lives changed.
We are currently engaged in; Soul-winning, Bible Studies, Sports Ministry, Bus/Car Ministry, Pastor's School, Sunday Bible Club (children). Please pray that we may see lasting fruit in these efforts.
