Trip to Zambia

The day after Thanksgiving we left Foumban for a two-week trip to Zambia to visit missionaries there and attend a leadership conference. We stayed with the John Smith family and saw many other missionary families while we were there. We enjoyed seeing old friends and making new friends. We also enjoyed seeing the work of the ministry there.

The first week was the conference, which was held at Central Africa Baptist College in Kitwe.

Danny spoke in one of the sessions. Other sessions were taught by missionaries in Zambia, nationals from Zambia and other countries, and visitors from the United States.

The conference was attended by more than 250 people from Zambia and several other countries.

The conference ended with a graduation ceremony for three students from the college. On Sunday Danny preached at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Wusakili, which is pastored by one of the graduates.

The following week we went to Victoria Falls. It was the beginning of rainy season; so there was not as much water falling as there will be later in the season. It was awe-inspiring nonetheless.
