| crusade |
I am writing from the Inter-Continental hotel in Lusaka ... connected to the internet at 300 kwatcha per day, which is a great deal. :o)
Today John and I drove from the mission to Lusaka to join the gang for the crusades that are going on this weekend. We didn't leave until about 1:30 because the muffler on the vehicle was being replaced - and thanks to the now quiet exhaust system, John was able to pick up the sound of a loose universal joint in the back (whatever that is ... he tried to explain it to me ...) but apparently it's a big deal and it's a good thing we made it here safely.
When we got to the place where the crusade was being held, the singing was already going on - a big choir on the field and all these Zambians singing and dancing. One of the things I love most about their music is that they don't just sit still and sing. They can't help moving around - hand motions, clapping, dancing on every song. I love it!
Then John preached the message - it was absolutely amazing! He really was annointed by the Spirit and is an amazing speaker. Here is a picture of him speaking, although it is a bit hard to take pictures in the dark.
After the service we hung around the tent outside to pray with people and talk. The kids were so much fun to talk to and very sweet. Again, they loved having their pictures taken, so here is one of this one girl that I really liked.

So what are their sermons about there? Are they pretty simple with the gospel or more into other specific issues?

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
