Today was our first conference day! We divided into three teams to work in child care. Groups one and two worked today. If we weren’t scheduled to help out, we listened to the speakers. The topics spoken about were “The Centrality of the Local Church” by Newton Chilingulo, “The Test of True Conversion” by Carl Hargrove, “The Centrality of Preaching in the Local Church” by Brian Biedebach, “Biblical Corporate Prayer” by Stephan Muselor and “The Role of the Church in Preparing Young People for Marriage” by Mala Chindongo.

There was a tea break, lunch break, and a break between the last two sessions for a few hours. During that long break, we headed to the mall. The team bought some fun snacks and drinks that might make it back to the US with us. We got back to RBC just in time for dinner.

We are very tired after today, though it is mostly mental rather than physical exhaustion. The speakers were amazing, the children were very excitable, and the mall was cool. We ask that you pray for the health of the team members, the hearts and minds of the children and team, and that the Lord is glorified through our work. We also thank you for your continued prayer and support as we aim to provide the same for these churches. To God be the glory.
