Sunday was a very good day also.  Christine and I went to Bishop Mondo's church.  He's the head of the Assemblies of God Zambia.  He preached a great sermon on the children of Israel leaving Egypt.  Several points stood out (besides loving his preaching style...actions, walking up and down aisle, incredibly energetic).  First, it was God who brought them out guiding them with a cloud and pillar of fire.  He protected them in front and behind.  That same God not only goes before and behind and over us but resides in us.  Second, it is an all-powerful God who can part the waters of the Red Sea in front of you, no matter the problem you are facing or how close the devil is behind you.  Third, He provided again and again for His people.  First born of Egypt dead, release from captivity, parting of the Red Sea, drowning of the Egyptian army, manna to eat, clearing bitter water and water from a rock...and even quail (at their request...murmuring).  We had a powerful time of prayer.  The service ended with a baby and child dedication.

Afterwards we were invited to his house for Sunday dinner.  It was a special time of fellowship.  He and a visiting Ghanaian evangelist shared stories and insights of the Scriptures and the African church.  Incredible to hear about his encounters with witchcraft and demons when a young pastor in the rural villages.
