On Monday, Mike Tessendorf of Orchard Africa held a training for local pastors in Lusaka, Zambia. The purpose of this training was to help pastors understand the impact of extreme poverty and HIV/AIDS infection among adults and children. The statistics were staggering and the impact on this society is staggering. The majority of people in Zambia live on less than $2 a day and a loaf of bread cost $1. We just don't understand that level of extreme poverty or hunger. It was great to see the local pastors respond to the information and the call for the local church to do something about it.
Since we were guests, we were ushered to the front of the church to sit on the platform facing the audience. After the conference we headed straight for the airport for our flight back to South Africa. The flight was less than two hours and was nice.
We checked into our hotel and went to bed.
The next post will be in South Africa.
