Did I say that these were some of the most amazing college age students I've ever met in my life? If I didn't, I'm saying it now. Incredible young people who are mature and serious about following Christ. They are so grateful for the opportunity they have been given. Many of them are from very poor homes but through Encounter they are offered the opportunity to ride a bus to the ERM headquarters each day to be discipled, trained, and used for ministry in loca...

Tomorrow morning is the Pastor's conference! The next two days will be two of the largest ministry times I will be involved in as of right now, 251 pastors will gather to be further equipped in the Word of God and Gospel ministry. I have not had internet access in two days, so I'm praying that the additional $1,200 dollars we need to purchase 250 study bibles is coming in back in the U.S. The Zambian Bible society is bringing the bibles in the morning. What a...

The village was so overwhelmed by Encounter's investment in Charity's life, that it has opened such a...

Day Two! Incredible! Life-changing! Eye-opening! God's love and goodness poured out because every perfect gift is from Him. Our first large ministry project today was to visit a community school back in a village that has 115 students. The school is a part of the Encounter Zambia ministry and was started because children in this location had to walk 7 miles to go to school and therefore were not going. Since this school is run by Encounter, the Bible is ta...
