This is my final blog entry as I conclude "Zambia Glory." God has revealed and poured out His magnificent glory, grace upon grace, and thanksgiving now abounds to the glory of God amongst His people in Zambia, Congo D.R.C., America, and around the world as people in 48 countries have read these blog posts. Here is a praise report of what I can remember and know of that God has done.... * Given grace to many pastors to "faint not" because we "have this ministry...
