Worship with the Sinde Church of Christ

We rode to Sinde Mission on a bus with about forty children from Heart Spring Orphanage.  They sang both English and Tonga choruses for us most of the way.

The Sinde Church of Christ meets in this building, which was originally a house, built in the 1940's by the first Church of Christ missionaries in Zambia.
Chris, as a visiting preacher, was asked to preach as we walked in the door.  He chose a text from 1 Tim. 1:12-17 to talk about how an understanding of God's grace leads to worship.

This is a typical Zambian clothesline.

Twelve girls who attend high school at the Sinde Mission board in this room. Another room like it holds twelve boys.

  1. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! It has been a joy to remember you and pray in the midst of my "ordinary world". Thank you for giving yourselves so fully to the gifts God has given you. At Northland Church today, they showed a video of doing workshops to encourage church leaders in Zambia. Hearing their stories and seeing their pictures made me think of you all and think of how Big God is and how small our world is!!
    I pray for Jesus to bless your trip home and give you strong memories. :)
