Short Term Team Reaps Fruit of Long Term Workers in Zambia

One team of students from our church planting school (CPx) are now in Zambia. They are working with a long-term team of students who are graduates of past CPx's. The long-termers have been telling the God story, laying foundations in villagers minds about the foundations of the gospel: creation, rebellion, sacrifice, return/repentance/ commission. Recently there was the beginning of a reaping of the seed already sown:

"We are doing great after showing the Jesus film in the local language in the local villages. It was nice to see quite a sizable number of people come to our property from Singanga, Lyooka and Komayana villages. What we did before and while the people were watching the movie, was to intercede and I think that kept every one of us busy connecting with the heavens.

After the movie Namisha got to share a message with them about how Jesus longs to be their Friend and that He is the one that connects us to God and without Him we can never come to a loving relationship with God. After Namisha finished sharing what God had put upon her heart I challenged the team to reach out to people and find out if anyone of them wanted to have a relationship with Jesus and we saw quite a few of them being prayed for and giving their lives to Jesus. What I also sensed is that a good number of them were so shy and ashamed to step forward and be prayed for. So those who gave their lives will be followed up with tomorrow. I have been encouraging the team to get in their homes and asked them if they can find out more about the decision those people made - whether they were serious about it. I will follow-up with a young man whom i prayed for - he really wanted to give it all to Jesus. I ask him whether He meant what He was saying and he told me he did. He wants his life to turn around and follow Jesus".
