Team Zambia:

Hello everyone!

We're bussing back to Lusaka from Kitwe today. Our time in Kitwe has been such blessing. We taught our first lessons here, sang and worshipped with the ZCLC for the Sunday service, and met so many amazing people! Overall, we taught over 400 children in Kitwe. 

The theme of our lessons are based off of John 20:31 "These words are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

My lesson specifically is teaching children that Jesus is true God by using the Bible story of the feeding of the 5,000. One of my favorite parts of teaching is asking review questions at the end of my lesson. The very last question is "What does this story teach us about Jesus?" The children will raise their hands excited to answer and say "Jesus is God!" Or "Jesus loves us!" The room then erupts with clapping and laughter. It fills my heart with so much joy to love and worship God alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ. 

Thank you Kitwe churches and schools for your warm welcome and love you have shown us. I am amazed by the beautiful singing, the childrens memorization of Bible passages, and the happiness of each person while serving God. Thank you for allowing us to serve alongside you. 

Philippians 1:3-6 NKJV
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;"

I also want to thank our brother and sisters back home for all the prayers, encouragement, and support for this trip. Everyday I am more and more grateful for this experience and I wouldn't be here but without the blessings and gifts you have given. Thank you.

Teams Kenya and Zambia, Tom Naumann: En Route!

Teams Kenya and Zambia met at Terminal 5 Chicago O’Hare airport on Wednesday afternoon. As I write this our first flight is about to land in Paris where we will catch a connecting flight to Nairobi, Kenya and from there we will go our separate ways.  God is blessing our travel thus far and we trust that He will bring us safely to the mission fields which He has prepared for us. Please pray for continued safe travel, some little sleep, and minimal jet lag! 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored.

4 Weeks Until Take Off! -- Spreading the Gospel in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia

Image
Only 4 weeks from today the 2026 Mission Helpers to Africa will depart Chicago, O'Hare on their way to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia. We are eager and excited to share the Gospel of Christ with an estimated 6000 children. Some of these children will be members of CLC-affiliated congregations and preaching stations, but most of them will not be. For many, this will be the first time they have heard a clear Law and Gospel presentation of the Bible's story of salvation.  Due to the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda, Team Kenya will not be making their planned stops in Uganda. We are saddened by this, but we trust that while man has a plan, God has a purpose. He promises to work even this out for the good of His people. We are closely monitoring the status of the outbreak, but at the time of this writing, there is no safety concerns nor travel restrictions to Kenya, Tanzania, or Zambia. Our plans to evangelize in those countries remain the same.  The theme for our Child Evangelis...
