Dear Family & Friends,
I am excited to write and share with you a little of what God did in Zambia this summer! First, I want to thank you so much for your faithfulness to the Father in giving unselfishly and for your prayers. It was a privilege to go to Zambia and I would not have been able to do so without your prayers and financial support. God is so faithful!
During our first week in Zambia, we taught discipleship essentials to 15 young adults. Our goal in teaching this group was to equip them with the tools they need, along with some encouragement, to begin leading small group bible studies and witnessing in the townships and bush. This group of men and women were amazing and through email we know that several small groups have been started since we left Zambia!
After the discipleship training was completed, together we all went to the bush to minister to the people there. We split up into groups and went door to door witnessing and inviting people to come see the Jesus film. Many people came to see the film that evening. There were so many men, women, and children that came that we could not count them all. That evening, about 50 people accepted Christ as their personal savior!
The next week we taught a new believers class at the Chande Orphanage. We had about 60 children, from grades 7-9, that participated in the new believer’s class. We taught some basic principles every new Christian should know and how to build their relationship with Christ. While we were teaching these classes, many children became curious why we were there and that opened the door for us to share the gospel with them. Just from interacting with the children at the orphanage, 15 children accepted Christ that week! On our last day in Zambia, we had the privilege of baptizing 42 precious children!! Because of the generous donations our team members received, we were able to take 100 Bibles to the children there. Their faces lit up when they each saw their names written in the Bibles!
While we were only in Zambia for 10 days, I experienced some wonderful things and saw many things that broke my heart. I met some of the most amazing people! The term “brothers and sisters in Christ” means so much more to me than it ever has before. The people of Zambia are so hungry for Christ. Pictures of the poverty these people experience do not do justice. Above all the poverty they face, they put their full faith in Jesus Christ. The people there are very relational and always have the time to stop and talk, something we are not so great at here in America. They don’t have all the distractions we seem to have here in the U.S. Since I returned home, our family has been trying to simplify our life so that we will have the time to stop and enjoy each other and our friendships more!
There are so many stories and things I’d like to share but there isn’t enough space in this letter! I will blog about experiences and put up pictures over the next few months and I’d love for you to check it out. My blog site is http://www.nacolemorgan.blogspot.com/
Again, I want to thank you for serving with me in Zambia! It was such a privilege and an honor to see first hand all of the amazing things God is doing in Kitwe, Zambia.

For the Kingdom,
