Edificatious

Dear Friends,
Warm greetings from a wet, rainy Kitwe! On a recent prayer calendar we requested "grace for the rainy season /showers of blessing this rainy season". God took it seriously and we have been overwhelmed... /

A tremendous supply of the word: The daily Baltimore messages & ABD's, anointed study and classes, & I've been getting much positive feedback from my Pentateuch class especially, seeing the finished work in all its glory in Exodus. [Recent Rema on 1Co14:26 Let all things be done unto edifying... That's the ministry!... "all things"... even every newsletter..].. hope you are edified... /
Travel: Until a few weeks ago we weren't certain we would be able to come this summer... But during the month, one by one, each ticket was supplied, and the whole family will be coming to London and Baltimore, early June for 5 weeks. Thank You God for faithful, sacrificial givers, who even made it possible to cover the expenses of a Pastor from Lusaka to be able to cover the church while we're away!/
Growth: A local team of disciples, 7 men (the 7 sons NOT of Sceva!), bible college students in the dorm, are regularly at the house for leadership meetings, helping with church admin, on the streets with us evangelizing, visiting the body, and even beginning a new bible study in Chimwemwe, the next area over. We have also seen a growth in the number of women attending, and in Bible school this semester we now have 30 students, at least one from each of the 5 Copperbelt cities, some of whom have even moved and others praying./
Land developments: The plot we are praying for, we have just found out, IS available!!! God has miraculously been bringing in the money. Another church was offered a similar large plot for $2,000, of which they paid 50% as a down payment. Praise the Lord, we now have the down payment as well as more than 50% of the balance (assuming we get it for the same), thanks to the love-motivated, free-will giving of some of the local disciples here, as well as, last week, a generous gift from abroad. Our "land team" was very encouraged when they had a meeting with the head of planning for the city, who said she would "push it" for us./
Please Pray
Billy (bible college student - mom's health) / Land (plot fund, favor at council, wisdom) / Dorm (continued growth and fellowship) / Travel (covering while we're away) / ZamCon (conference in Lusaka with P. Scibelli, that our church would be able to travel there) / Continued good health (every protection and provision for entire church, especially during malaria season) / Students from other cities (safety in traveling) /&...People to move to Kitwe! /
