On the Lunsemfwa River

During the month of Feb. and March Kevin is working on the Lunsemfwa River. He drives 2 hours east to the Luangwa Bridge and then puts his boat together. He drives the boat about 1 hour to the village of Lisongwe . He is teaching T4T there which stands for Training for Trainers. Basically, it is a series of about 12 stories which he shares with the people and then they go out and share it with others during the week. At their next session together Kevin holds them accountable for going out and sharing. Please pray that these people will claim this for their own and run with it. They don't have to have a missionary come and do everything for them; baptize, teach, start other churches. They can do these things for themselves too.
A couple of weeks ago James Adair, a missionary in Kaputa Zambia, went with Kevin twice to this area. Kevin really appreciated the help and I think James had a good time too. They even got to see some hippos going and coming back. They ended up going to two different places because the people just begged them to go to their church also. Kevin ended up sharing about Pauls conversion experience and then shared about his own. When he asked if anyone else had ever received Jesus and if their lives had changed-meaning they could see how they were before they trusted Christ and could then see that afterwards their lives had changed. No one could raise their hands. That day about 20 people prayed to receive Christ.
This past week our son, Justin, was able to go out with Kevin too and had a great time. They saw a pod of about 5 hippos on the way. After so many prayed to receive Christ the week before there were still about 60 in attendance. Please pray for Kevin's protection as he travels by boat twice a week-Tuesdays and Fridays. Pray that he will not grow weary in this big task. Pray the people will really grow in their relationship with Christ. Below are some pics. that James took when they went out together.
