Our most recent Global Mission’s outreach is focused on the country Zambia. Specifically, with a ministry comprised of 8 pastors called “Grace Reigns Ministry.” On July 22 – August 2, 2024, we sent an exploratory mission team, facilitated by SET Centers International Ministry in Zambia, to meet and work alongside each of the pastors.
The ministry opportunities are vast, from local church and neighborhood ministry to farther outreach into the bush. All 8 pastors have an intense urgency to share the Gospel, train up other pastors and plant churches in remote areas, all to reach their people with the life-changing love of Christ.
One of our efforts, aside from sending mission teams, is to partner with Grace Reigns Ministry in a piggery they started 2 years ago. It began with 3 piglets and has now grown to over 240 pigs! The ongoing raising and selling of pigs will pay a small wage to each Pastor (they each must support themselves with other jobs since their churches are too poor to support them), supply funds to support the ongoing ministry needs of each of the 8 churches, help train additional pastors to plant churches in the bush and continue to sustain the piggery.
We’ve also invested in Pastor Dennis’s church/school ministry in the bush. We’ve enabled him to purchase tables for his 65 students as well as teaching materials. Pastor’s Dennis’s mantra is “How can they read God’s Word if they can’t read? Ignorance is the greatest disease on earth.”
Please pray for each of the 8 Pastors of Grace Reigns Ministry, that their urgency for the Gospel would reap a great harvest in Zambia. And pray for us at MCC, that our partnership with them would equip them for their calling!
