Greetings to all from Zambia!! We are now both back in Zambia and are busy with the work of the Lord. When Darlene arrived on February 28th, 2008, the Bible College was in session. Thus, we have been busy with the college. When the college closed, we took a trip to the Eastern Province and Malawi arriving back home a week ago. The trip to the Eastern Province, Katete was great. A church was planted in Katete in November 2007 and the pastor is one of the Bible College students. Thus, it was so exciting to see the work that the student is doing. We praise the Lord for the opportunity to be with this church and for what the Lord is doing there. Many are being set free, healed, and baptized in the Holy Spirit. The church is growing quickly. Right now, they are looking for a church plot. Pray that they will be able to get a plot and start building their church building. The trip to Malawi was also good visiting Lipenga’s grandparents and many friends in Malawi. They have encouraged us and it was good to see what God is doing in Malawi. We are currently busy with church matters and preparations for the Bible College which will open June 2, 2008. Thank you for prayers and your support.
