June 21, 2023 /Conflict and War/ — The statement that Ukraine is a failed state like Sudan is a false and harmful generalization.

It has a functioning economy and a strong military. While the ongoing Russian invasion has caused significant damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure and economy, it is not accurate to say that Ukraine is a failed state. Continue reading →

May 24, 2023 /Lifestyle/ — Zambia is an important country for global evangelism for a number of reasons. First, it is a large country with a population of over 18 million people. Second, Zambia is a relatively poor country, with a GDP per capita of just over $1,500. This means that there are many people in Zambia who are open to the message of the gospel because they are looking for hope and a better life. Third, Zambia has a long history of Christianity. The first missionaries arrived in Zambia in the 1800s, and today, the majority of Zambians are Christian. This means that there is a strong foundation of Christian faith in Zambia, which makes it a fertile ground for evangelism.
In addition to these factors, Zambia is also important for global evangelism because of its strategic location. Zambia is located in the heart of Africa, and it borders a number of other countries, including Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. This means that Zambia is a gateway to other parts of Africa, and it has the potential to reach a large number of people with the gospel. Continue reading →

Crowds in some cities were so large and dense that on occasion barriers had to be removed for safety reasons. The masses were spilling out into busy highways, people were sitting on top of walls, on top of buildings, and even filling the branches of trees in the vicinity of the fields where the open-air meetings were taking place! Some people reported traveling for over thirty hours. Some made the journey by boat. Attendees were sleeping on the meeting grounds overnight because they had traveled from other towns and villages with no place to spend the night. Continue reading →
