Going to the Ends of the Earth - Zambia Africa

Isn’t the Lord good! His name is high above all other names and He is worthy, oh so worthy to be extolled. The Bible tells us to give thanks to Him, and to exalt His Holy name. How can I not worship someone who so great? Oh, Lord, you are worthy, so worthy and I love you.

There are so many people around the world who do not know the Savior we know so well. They are in darkness and really have no clue about eternal life. God has called us to make Him known among the nations. The Bible says in Psalm 46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations;

I will be exalted in the earth!”

It is God’s desire to be known in all the corners of the earth and it is our assignment to take His good news to the ends of the earth.

God recently led me to an opportunity of a lifetime. This door opened wide and it is my time to go through it. God has given me a chance to go to the ends of the earth with a short term mission team from Buffalo New York. Our destination is the country of Zambia in Southern Africa. This country is about the size of the state of Texas.

We have been invited to share in the ministry of International Mission Board missionaries, Troy and Tracy Lewis. Our work will include prayer walking, discipleship development, training and ministry to those affected by HIV and AIDS. Our two weeks in this part of the world will be filled with opportunities to share God’s love. We pray for the chance to share the gospel and see many Zambians come to our Lord.
