Serving Christ is a very beautiful task. It is an enjoyable adventure and filled with challenges that raise in the heart a desire to continue despite the fears it sometimes has and the failures at other times. With each one we experience that the grace of God is sufficient, and it gives the “power made perfect in our weakness.”

I often find myself questioning whether discipleship is a necessity or a choice. Is it merely a program, a curriculum, or a way of life? As I reflect on the Great Commission, I realize the numerous struggles faced by the church in the Middle East. While there is a hunger among churches and Christian organizations to expand God's kingdom in all directions, we still grapple with theories and models of growth across the world.

Because knowledge and improvement is the right of each woman, and because we’re trying as a ministry to reach every lady, we pushed the “place” boundaries, and left the only place we have served for over sixteen years.

In our commitment to spreading the transformative message of faith, we have embarked on a journey of planting churches in the villages of Zambia, each with its unique set of challenges and opportunities. This article highlights our efforts in establishing these churches, addressing challenges related to witch doctors and the cultural practice of marrying multiple wives, and celebrating the passion of young people to reach neighboring villages.
