Well, good evening. I'm just going to say a few things that we're going to give most of the time over to Bert and Don for, as you know, they were there for three weeks before the week that I was there in Zambia. So they're all total were there a month. So they've got some more insight and some visits and different things that they'll share. in their time. But I was just going to say a few things about our trip. We went to Nairobi first for one week and I met Jason Sowers and Dick Model in Minneapolis and they were there for the one week in Nairobi and then they returned home and I went on to Zambia, where I met Bert and Don there for the second week, because we were gone two weeks. We did two conferences. We have three institutes, actually, that we're primarily teaching in Nairobi and in Zambia. The one in Nairobi is pretty much coming to the end of their second year. And there are 80 to 90 students there. And they meet at this church, Grace Covenant Church. It's a lakefront property. They had a lot of rain in Nairobi the week or so before we got there, particularly farther west of Nairobi. They had some flash flooding and some flooding issues. And this was their church, as we've had all of our conferences there. This is Grace Covenant Church. Pastor Maurice Mwali is the pastor, and the church hosts us for our conference, and so we appreciate that. And we've had I don't have very many pictures. I'm just going to say that we taught the book of Genesis here, and we got just into chapter 3. And Jason taught the flood, though, which was fitting for this time of year, it looks like. He taught chapters 6 and 7 and some things there. And so the responses were quite good. We also began grammar, as we'll take an hour plus each day and go over English grammar. They'll be doing that for the next probably about four conferences now, the next three conferences plus this one. And they were a little surprised by that. Suddenly they had grammar quizzes and homework books. And so some of them commented that this is where they really got the feel that this was an institute and it was going to be a lot of work. So that was good for them. Each night we now have a house that we've been able to use. I think we've commented on that a number of times and how very helpful it is to have. We can have people for dinner and they stay overnight. We have room. We can have them stay overnight and come to and come to the conference with us. So each night we visit with men. This was in the morning. This was the first night, the four men. And some very Very encouraging stories, you know, like the second man there is teaching about 40 pastors and he's really wanting us to come and help him. This man here, I guess you don't see that when I use the mic. Oh, you do see it. He's in a city called Kitali where there's 10 pastors and they're aggressively reaching out to other pastors. They just had a conference a few weeks before we came there, so really encouraging. The second night, these are four more men that we met with and talked. Again, we just get to know them better. hear about their families, their ministries, they can ask questions, so it's good fellowship. This was the next night. This is George Odero and his wife, and then Francis, and the man on the far right is Ernest, and he has a lot of contact with youth, kind of a national youth leader for some churches there, and so he's a very good contact, and they're all very, very positive enjoying the Institute, enjoying their studies. This was the last night. This couple on the left are from Grace Covenant Church. They're very instrumental in helping a lot of the behind-the-scenes things. And then Raphael's on the right. You've heard his story before. Jason wrote about it again, how he was an apostle and he lost his church. He had to come home and say he got saved, and they didn't really like that. You've heard that before. And this is Pastor Mwali on the right and his wife Connie. They were able to join us for dinner on the last night, so we had a nice visit with them. So that was Nairobi. And again, we'll be continuing to go there. We'll go there in August and several more years of the Institute. And again, it's really evident to saw more in Nairobi than I've ever seen of people using the materials, some real definite contacts and leads. all sorts of small groups and mini-conferences and things going on so it's really exciting. Things are taking off there quite nicely. And then we went on to Zambia and there we taught Genesis, the same material. Got a little farther into Chapter 3 this time as I taught that. And then we had Exegesis where we also worked through a passage and each day they had homework related to that that they would turn in and we'd talk about. each day working through a passage and beginning to draw out and make observations and so forth. They each will select a chapter and they'll have to do extensive work in that as we finish up Exegesis in the future. We also met a few times in the evening since we've met with them in the evenings a lot and they had a lot of homework. We only did that a few times but we did meet a few new people and I think Bert will tell you about that. We left a fair amount of materials there as well. Again, the conference went well. Some very, very strong responses to the teaching. It seemed to go very well. So thank you for your prayers and support in that way. My one last request as you pray for these men and these women, both in Nairobi and in Lusaka, Zambia. We had both Livingston and Lusaka students meet in one place again. That works really well for us. But just pray for them for their discernment. So if you can just remember to pray, just that their eyes will be open more and more, spiritual discernment, just really seeing the difference between what is true, what is not, what it is to be faithful, as far as that truth goes, and so forth. So if you remember to pray for that, and I'll turn the rest of the time over to Burton Dunn. Again, so much for all your prayers. It was very needful. As you know, when we were traveling in Zambia, it's not all that safe at times. And when we're hitting all the different streets and all the byways and all the crowded people, anything could happen. And so we're thankful for your prayers. Like I say, Zambia was a nice trip. Don and I were there three weeks before Kurt got there. It started off with having a new place to stay with again. We found an apartment to stay in because Don was with me and wanted something a little bit more comfortable. So we stayed in a little apartment that was very helpful for us just to wind down after a busy day. Us being ambassadors and citizens of heaven, We have a goal to press for the prize of upward calling of God in Christ Jesus. And to wait for the city, which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. And that should be our focus, that should be our desire, to please the Lord. And one day he'll call us home, and may we all hear, well done, thy good and faithful servant. We always have friends crawling around all over the place. And we see many of them. The very first Saturday we went there, it was a Saturday of the monthly half-day meetings for the Institute people and the students. They went through John chapter 15. And this is a little diagram of one of the students getting up and diagramming out the verse 2. Breaking it apart and finding what the main thoughts are and that was very helpful to explain John chapter 15 because they're a little confused on takes away. So this grammar helps a lot to explaining how the grammar fits with definitions and meaning of the passage. Then we went Sunday to another one, the Great Commission Church. These are four guys from the Institute, Maven, Alex, Wesley, and Davis. They started up the church about a year and a half ago, and they had some problems with understanding where sin was from. We spent some time teaching within the class. And in that class, they had to understand the source of sin, where it came from, why people sin. And using children's illustrations is very helpful within the assembly, because we tell them, do you have to teach a child to disobey? And they all, no, no, no, no. Do you have to teach a child to be covet and be greedy? He says, no, you don't. So a lot of times, they think that when you have that in an adult in your heart, and you want to disobey, they call that demonization. They don't understand where sin really comes from, except for when you start getting into how we're born in Adam and where that sin really originated, it opens up a lot of doors for them and understands where sin originated and where it comes from, from our own heart. So that was very helpful in explaining that. So this church was clarified in many different areas. Many of them still did not understand eternal security, the assurance of life. So we were able to go through internal security again with them and continue on with Romans 1 through 5 teaching. Generally, in the class, I taught for about an hour and a half. And guess where Dawn was? With the children. So I'll let her continue how she taught with the children here. So what I did was I used the new curriculum that we brought over from Nancy and I put together. And so the first lesson goes through, there was like 14 different lessons, and the first lesson had to do with creation, and then it went through all the way to the death and burial resurrection, and then that was lesson 10, and then there was four. more lessons that had to do with different topics like the Good Shepherd, Prodigal Son, and how you grow in grace. So right here I'm teaching the very first lesson, creation series with them, and then I went into Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve, and where sin originally came from, and how that we're all born sinners. These are a few of the songs, you know, when I started on Creation, Who Started Everything, and My God Is So Great. I really don't think that the churches understood just the importance of teaching children. I think they overlooked, a lot of them did overlook them, and they were kind of left doing their own thing, the children, outside of the church. So when When we talked at a workshop, which you'll see here later on, about the importance of teaching children at a young age the gospel and the foundation, I think they really realized how important it was to teach them. So during the next three weeks that we were there, I taught each Sunday and then a workshop as well. And I think they really responded well the pastors and the elders within the churches that we talked to during the workshop, which was 18 different churches. And they began to see just the importance of reaching out to the children and giving them the gospel at a young age. So as you will see, this time that I spent there was teaching on Sunday. And it varied from like about 25 to 30 children each time I talked, and they were very much interested, and they just loved the stories, the songs, and the verses, memory verses. And we really had a really fun time, and I really think that opened up a lot of doors in the way of reaching the children. This is one of the verses, Romans 3, 23 illustrated, and children just really gravitated toward illustrated things, as we know. Well, we do too, as you can tell. Pastor has always the PowerPoint up. But we really had a fun time. I did, and they did as well. So here I'm teaching Oh My God Is So Great and of course we know that the boys love this song because they get to flex their muscles. Then we have another Sunday church we went to. This is Pastor Chinoya. He used to be in the Institute. He still is on Saturdays, but because of his job, he's unable to come to the conferences many times. But he just loves grace. He's locked onto the grace. And when I taught in his church, I had many opportunities to ask questions, and they asked me questions. When I brought in the assurance of heaven, even the children had the assurance of eternal life and why. So that church was taught very well. And this beginning of the church, lesson one, we went through a little bit of sanctification in the first hour. Then in the second hour, he got into evangelistic as he wanted. He had many more people from the area that came in to listen to the message of grace. Of course, halfway in between, we lose power, and then you scribble on the board after that. So then we get into the board activity, and you can see all my scribbles. And then I clarified it again on the right-hand side, kind of a simple way of doing the diagram. So it helped them to maybe see how to present the gospel and evangelistic in their neighborhood and reach people for Jesus Christ. Chinoya is a very healthy, vibrant church. And the message of grace, he loves that as well. So of course, guess where Dawn was? With the children again. They had a separate room for these children. Many children showed up. And as you can see there, she had, Dawn also had a translator there that was translating for Dawn as well within this class. And I really, her name was Joy, and she was Chinoya's daughter. And she really worked well. And like I said, in this one I was doing Adam and Eve in this story right here. And she just translated very well. Some of them know English, and some of them do not. But the ages could vary from anywhere from like five to like 13 years old. So of course you try to teach in the middle there, and that's what I did. They just love, they're always gravitated because they never seen, they don't have much materials over there at all as far as visual things. So when you come in and you're showing visual aids and stuff like that to go with your story, they just gravitate towards it. So we're hoping to bring over King of Glory the next time that we go over there and it's like 80 lessons. because these guys do not have nothing, basically. Then, of course, to another church. This was in the same evening, it was a Sunday afternoon. This man we've never met before, Pastor Joseph Simutofi, I can't pronounce a lot of those words, though. So anyhow, his church is called Grace Deliverance. These are many of his church members, but also a number of students from Chinoya's church as well that he was training and teaching. So they wanted me to come there in the afternoon. So they wanted me to have three different sessions and three different lessons. And first one, they wanted me to go through the gospel, second one, sanctification, and a question and answer period. Very attentive, more and more people came as I hit the second message, and they were very excited about what they heard. And then they had questions in 1 John 1, especially verse 9, so we had to go through 1 John 1, 9, it had to do with fellowship. They had a problem with the two natures. versus one nature, so he went through 1 Corinthians chapter 3, talked about those natures as well, and then they had questions on the bema seat, rewards, and works, and gift, and grace. So if you can't lose your salvation, what can you lose? Covered a lot of material, and they really enjoyed the teaching. And every time I look down at Joseph, you can see Joseph is this man right here. I think the button don't work. Anyhow, the one on the right, bending over with the white shirt and tie, that's Joseph. And every time I looked down there, he had a smile on his face. Every time I started getting into sanctification, he was just there, just loving this teaching. And he collected a lot of different teachings from different people. It's amazing how the Lord can bring someone along who loves grace and gives them different teachers from different people. And then when Chinoy connected with him too, he started taking some of our material and teaching it within his church. So now we're locked in right now. He came to the conference. He stayed the time there. So we also gave him some Romans material to teach. And I'm sure we'll be continuing with him for a number of years here. So he really enjoyed Grace. It was a fun time there for about four hours of communicating. and talking with this new church and believers who enjoy Jesus Christ. Some of them still had issues with assurance again, mainly with problem passages. So it was nice that we were able to bring those problem passages to the surface and to teach them that assurance of eternal life. And then, of course, then we have Florence's Bible Club. This is Florence who was influenced by Don last time she was there to start up a Bible Club. And she has not stopped. So she went very ready in this. She kept on moving forward. And now she has a whole group of children in her Bible Club. And Don can continue with that. Florence also has an assistant that is also part of Joseph Timbo's church, Zephaniah. And they've been working together. This is a Friday, every Friday, Bible club that they have at Phyllis's house, another member. And they have anywhere from 25 to 40 kids at this particular Bible study. She also teaches at a government school four days a week. when school is in session. I know, like, we have, like, three months off, but they operate where they have three months on school and then one month off, and then three months, and it just goes year-round like that. And also, Florence teaches different ages, too, during that four times a week, so she might teach one class and the other. Another class she'll teach, then another, you know, different age class she'll teach. So what's nice is because she usually just teaches that one lesson, you know, for four times during the week and then she'll go to another lesson, the next lesson. So right now, and they just love that, I had a chance to talk to one of the teachers that came by during a lady's study. that's from the same school that she teaches at and was able to give her the gospel. And I believe she understood it and got saved. What's nice is because she just lives right by Phyllis' house right here. And so, of course, you know, they'll be doing a follow-up. But what a great opportunity that they have. And I heard Florence say that she also has another opportunity. During the conference, somebody came up to her and asked if she would teach at another school as well. So pray for them because there's I'm praying that there's a lot of opportunities for Florence and also Priscilla, who teaches another Bible club in a different compound, to reach as many children that they can. But they're very excited in teaching these, and I could see that the kids just love coming and learning verses and stories as well. And so we were able to give them the new curriculum that we have, which is easier to follow along for them. And so she's using it right now, which is nice. So I'm, you know, our kids are so, blessed to have all the stuff that we have, you know, to provide for them. Because when you go to Africa, they do not have that. And there's just a ton of kids in each compound. I think each family, I think their average family size is like six sometimes seven. I know Joseph, they have seven kids. But these are some of the kids in the Bible club that Florence and Zephaniah teach. So what she does is she teaches a lesson and then they go over verses. and then they go over songs. And I think they teach like for an hour and a half each time that they teach. But I can tell that they're really catching along because they repeat verses and they sing the songs that we're familiar with. And I know that some of the songs that we've brought with them, they really didn't know. So it was very helpful for us to send that CD for them so that they can I'm now seeing them with their children. Because some of them, they didn't know. So that was nice. Thank you. Choir. And then home studies. The Wednesday night, we couldn't make it to all Sundays. So they wanted us to come to a house. And they gathered a bunch of neighbors together and their children. And we had a home study. They wanted me to go over to gospel. This man right here is Pastor Lastin. And he's a man that's very encouraged with the gospel of grace. So he wanted me to come there and go through the John 3.16 diagram. When I first asked the adults here in the class how many of them knew for sure they're going to heaven, no one did. They knew what the gospel was, they understood it, but they didn't understand the sufficiency of Christ's finished work. So as we were communicating with them, they said 80, 70% none of them are really sure by the time the gospel is done Every hand went up. They knew the assurance of salvation. I asked a question why they knew why because the penalty has been paid so they were very excited with that message and they were very thankful that we're able to go there and present a clear gospel to them and to clear up some of the confusion they have with what sin is where it comes from and how to deal with it after you're saved and And then Joseph started up another Bible study, a new Romans class in Chihuahua. This is the first class. I was there on the Thursday night with him, starting Romans chapter 1 and 2 in the first two lessons. So these men here, we really enjoyed the teaching. They still got many questions, of course, because they're starting fresh from Romans chapter 1. So pray for them. Chihuahua Bible study here. that will continue moving forward. And out of that group, these two of them, from the students there, they brought us to an orphanage, and they want us to go through the gospel with the orphanage as well, and teach the children. So here's a group of children at the orphanage that we communicated. And of course, Don didn't come, so who had to teach lesson two of the curriculum at Sunday school? So in order to make it easy, I put the lesson in front of me and had this little puppet lamb, and I had the puppet lamb tell the story. So they enjoyed that. So they went very well, they're very excited, very thankful for the message of grace, and they even had a little play and quoted some verses to us afterwards as well. So it was a fun little group, fun little day. Pastor Sebastian, he called his church the Philadelphia Church. He had questions about, how do you name a church? Because this was kind of a new church for him. And he had questions, how do we name our church? And I just kind of gave him a few answers. We're Duluth Bible Church. Nice and simple. So he liked to name Philadelphia, and said, is anything wrong with calling it Philadelphia Church? Oh, no, nothing wrong with calling Philadelphia Church. So he came to my house one time. We talked for about four hours, talking about passages and John chapter 15 and other areas of passages that he was confused in. It was a very fun time. Then, of course, he got me to come to his church. And his church was very excited. This is at the end of the lesson. I taught for another two hours, two different lessons. Started right from scratch. where sin came from, what is sin, why do we sin, and I use my mango tree illustration again. We're born in Adam, born mango tree, and all we produce is mangoes, and you need a new birth. So I brought my symbol, of course. I always use this wherever I go. We start with sin, what Christ paid for on the cross, for our sin, right? Paid in full. You stand on this side, you understand sin, you understand Jesus Christ paid for it full. When you put your faith in Jesus Christ, you understand the sufficiency of his work, and you cross over the cross and pass from death unto life, because you see the sufficiency paid in full. It is finished. So I keep on asking them, where are you, on this side of the cross, or are you on this side of the cross? They started off with 80%. I said, oh, you're still on this side of the cross, 80%. What did Christ pay for? 100%, paid in full, complete. So what side are you cross on? They would ask more questions, and I would ask, how much? 90%. Ah, you're still over on this side. One guy says 99%. What side are you on? And everybody starts screaming out, you're still on this side. He said, how do you pass from death on to life? Then they start quoting John 3.16 again and it says, what does it say? Believe. Have you believed it? Yes. So what side are you on? And then they start jumping with joy like this. So at the end of the class, I had to take a picture of it because the whole church was very, very excited because they all came up screaming. Guaranteed, 100%, and why? So that was a very exciting time, and it was very helpful for Sebastian to have that cleared up in his church. And then, of course, I challenged him. He says, you taught here for a year now, and they still didn't have that clarity? Shame on you. You could have taught that message just as good as I did, because you have been taught that John 3.16 diagram over and over. He said, have you taught Romans 1 through 5, the 18 lessons? No, he didn't. He said, ah, you're showing failure again, aren't you? So it was a good challenge for him, but the church loved it. They responded very well. And it was a very, very fun day to understand and see that excitement of the clarity of the gospel. But then again, where was Don during this time? There you go. I had an interpreter again for this class and this is actually the teacher but I had another guy that interpreted for me and he did a very 12 job, he was the interpreter for Bird too as well. But I had like about 25 students again, and various ages, like four until about 13, I think, These ladies were in the middle there. And it was nice. This group was asking questions, which is really, I really enjoy questions. And so I was able to answer them. But then I talked again, I really thought that Adam and Eve was a very good lesson for them to see where sin originally came from. Because like Burt was saying, I believe their culture believes that why sometimes your sin is because you're either demon possessed or cursed. at a very young age, and they strongly believe it even now. I mean, it doesn't matter what age you are. So it was very good, and of course, we asked lots of questions to see if they understood what we came up with, gave out the gospel very clearly, because as this lesson goes through, it's because where sin came from, what was the consequences of sin, and then, of course, the promised Redeemer. And so it falls right into giving off the gospel. And so then I was able to give the gospel to them. I asked them, I said, do you know if you're going to heaven, for sure, if you should die? And a lot of them did, did know, and why, I would ask. And they would tell me the right answer. So at least they got the clarity of the gospel and the simplicity of it. And then they of course enjoyed the songs and the verses as well. And then I know with our curriculum we have these little word definitions, you know, and then on one side would be the word and then you would switch it over and give the definition. So I was able to go over those as well with them. It was a very nice laid out curriculum. So, this is, of course, teaching how Adam and Eve were deceived in the garden. Right there, that picture as well. And then I had a song, as you can see in my pocket, Runway. Does anybody know that song? That's a really good song. So it goes really well with the curriculum as well. And like I said, they catch on really a lot to songs. They sing over there. I know that our songs, really have a lot of definition to our songs, but over there it's kind of like repeating, you know, round, round songs. So to give some different kind of songs to sing, I think they enjoy that because they like songs as well. Oh, Sunday School Workshop. That was another meeting we had. We had it scheduled. We had flyers that went out. Out of the Sunday School workshop, there was 35 people that showed up from 18 different churches and churches we haven't really been associated with yet. So it was very exciting to see. We started with a video of Pastor Dennis of the importance of Sunday School. And of course, there's Joseph there, that new Joseph that we met. from Chinoya. He became a translator for Dennis, so he was already struggling. But he managed well. I just kept hitting stop, stop, stop. He would translate, and I would hit pause, pause, pause. So it was a slow process, but seemed to be very beneficial. And then after that, we went through different ways of giving out the gospel, because we knew the people there were probably not saved, or maybe not even heard the gospel before. So we brought it out with flannels by Florence. Then you have Joseph here using a whiteboard going through John 3.16. And then he used the Evangecube and did the John 3.16 diagram. And then, of course, Don comes up and started explaining our lesson plan, the Sunday school program, and all these different tools we have for teaching Sunday school. And of course, and then she did lesson two, and she brought out the gospel in that one as well. So there's very many opportunities for them to see the clarity of the gospel and how to be evangelistic. And we found out later on that two of the girls that came out that were new, two of them got saved. So during this session time, so that was exciting as well. So it was a fun time here. They all were very attentive. We had material to hand out to them as well. We gave them that good news for children as a little paper to hand out as well. And of course we had a nice booklet on the Sunday school program. And then, of course, after that went the conference. Kurt finally showed up after three weeks. And so he shows up here. Here's the start of the conference of all the men and women, the conference for those four days. And each one of these men, of course, complimented me very much. I had five compliments in a half hour. Bert, you're fat. Bert, boy, you look really good, nice and fat. You're a fat bird. Five times in about a half hour. And I kind of just told them politely, don't tell an American woman that. To them, that's a compliment. It's the greatest compliment you give a man is that they're fat. Because they're healthy, they're eating well, and they're doing well. So I had to thank them after a while, because I realized they're giving me a compliment. I was laughing inside. But there's the conference. It went very well, as Kurt mentioned. We had actually about 105 people in the conference. There's probably only about 85 of our students, but there's probably about 20 new people that came out that heard about the conference. And they wanted more information. Even though they learned Genesis, they got a lot of that. But a lot of the grammar, because of third exegesis, it went way over their head. And some of it went over my head, too. But anyhow, so that went very well. And so they're very excited to be part of the next training session that's coming up. And that's where it was in ICAWS. On the last day of our week, it's a Friday, we put out brochures through ICAWS inviting independent churches of Zambia, which is a group of about 200 some churches under an umbrella called ICAWS. And we invited them to come to an introductory course of Grace Training International. And a number of them came out. I believe there's probably about 35, I think, finally ended up being. And the first time they've heard a clear gospel as well. And we went through many of these truths with them. And there's Kurt going through some lessons. And of course, I was doing some lessons. And it was another fun time going through the basic principles of eternal security. We went through John 3.16, the importance of Bible interpretation. And Joseph was there as well. So then in the evening, one of the evenings, we went over to Livingston. You know, in this session, we take Livingston and we bring them over to Lusaka, the students there. So while they're living in Lusaka, going to our institute, they have a place that they stay as a group of them. And this is kind of a guest school or some place where they stay for the evenings for those four or five nights. And then one of the nights we went there and visited with them and went through some grammar with them, had some questions with them, just spent the evening with them. And it was kind of fun just hanging out with the Livingston folks. So it was kind of a fun time there. And here's some of the ladies. Universe, of course, is Joseph Timble's wife, and she had a newborn. I was born about a day before I got there. So we were able to see a newborn right away, and they didn't let anybody know in December that she was pregnant, because you never know if you're going to keep it full term or not. So when we got there, we were surprised to see another one join into the family for Joanie. And of course, there's Priscilla, and of course, Monica. is Michael Condola's wife and that's her daughter, Cassandra. Oh, OK. Yeah, Priscilla here, she also has a Bible club going on as well. And the material we gave to Florence, that material went to Priscilla. And then Florence got the new material. And she's excited, too, because she has some Bible clubs going on as well. And she teaches a lot of children. So she appreciated all that material as well for continuing with her Bible club program as well. And then as we move on, we see that the harvest truly is great, is it not? There's children all over the place, people all over the world have not heard the gospel, but labors are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of harvest that he send out labors into the harvest. Says, go ye where I behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. There are a lot of wolves out there, a lot of false teaching out there, a lot of problems out there. And what a privilege to be taught in the local church, passages upon passages, clarity of the gospel, sanctification, all the different truths that we've learned. Why do we learn them? Why do we learn these truths? So again, stay in our local area. God loved the world. So it was a great privilege to be able to take these truths that we have learned for such a time as this and go among those wolves and clarify the gospel so souls can understand what Christ has accomplished for them and they can receive the gift of life and forever to be with Him. So that's a great need that's out there. May we be willing to go forth as the Lord has commissioned us. And the Bibles that have been given, especially from this one from the Sunday school class, this is a man from Chongwei. He's probably about 60 miles east of us. He received his first Schofield Bible. So he's very thankful for those who have donated for these Bibles. We handed out probably a number of them. And they're very grateful because these Bibles, you can't find them. If you do find a Schofield Bible, which I found one in the last three years I've been there, and it's about $200. You might find some Ryrie's for $160, but only one or two of them. You just don't find them. So bringing them over there is a very, very valuable tool for them to be able to understand and study the scriptures. That wasn't kwacha either, that was dollars, US dollars. And I have a little video here. Remember that little program that we had for the orphanage? Well, they heard the good news message, and they all got a song. Good news has died for me. Good news, good news, if I believe. Good news, good news, I tell it generally. So they're very thankful and this is the verse they wanted me to share with you. DBC is well spoken of in Zambia and the word is getting out of this training program and more and more people are starting to appreciate and want to be a part of this training. Your labors, your prayers, The material support is having a great impact in Africa and beyond, of course. It's clarity of the gospel, three-tenths of salvation, sanctification truths, understanding scripture and build messages, not only are carried out throughout Zambia and Kenya, but many surrounding countries. So the students at GTI give you their abundant thanks. And they're saying, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. And this is a message of grace. And they're much appreciated of it. And I pray that we'll just continue moving forward with the gospel of grace, both near, for those around here, and far, as the Lord leads. Thank you so much for your prayers and your support. And may we just charge forward with the gospel of grace. Shall we end with a word of prayer? Father, thank you again for how you have prepared us through the many years, how you saved us and taught us, developed us, matured us for such a time as this, when the world is getting darker and more confused with the gospel of grace. Maybe Father, do go forth with this great message of good news to the world. The simplicity of the gospel, Christ died for our sins, buried and rose again victoriously to give that gift of life to all who would receive it by faith. So thank you again for your love or your grace, and you continue working in our lives, bringing conviction that we not love this world, but we wait for that great city that you have prepared for us in the coming of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. May all honor and praise be to him. In Christ's name we pray, amen.
