Expanding God’s Kingdom in Zambia

Greetings Ministry Partners,

September was a great month of expansion for God’s Kingdom throughout the nation of Zambia. The country is divided into ten provinces, and the Lord continues to open doors for ministry in several of them.

Earlier this year, in March, I visited the Lusaka region, specifically the capital city, where we introduced the ministry to over 80 pastors and conducted a Teacher Training Workshop (TTW) for five pastors.

One of the main purposes of my return to Zambia in September was to reconnect with these pastors, encourage them, and discuss various ways to mobilize resources for the start of new classes. After our meeting, I am confident that classes will begin as early as next year.

During this trip, I also had the opportunity to meet and conduct a TTW with five pastors in the Copperbelt region. This program was coordinated by Pastor Peter Piri and Reverend Patrick Daka, who are both passionate about equipping church leaders for effective ministry.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support, which make it possible to equip and empower church leaders across East Africa for the glory of God.

In His service,

Training

A Training the Trainers Workshop (TTW) was conducted in the Copperbelt region of Zambia on September 16–17, 2025. Five pastors from different denominations participated and were excited about CCI’s vision for leadership and disciple-making. They are now working together to start new classes and are praying for the necessary resources to purchase training books.

Prayer Requests & Praises

One of the challenges that is recurring in the different countries is that most of the pastors who contact or request working with CCI, on the face value, seem to have understood the vision on our CCI website, but inside their hearts is hidden the inner motive of looking for connections and financial support for their ministries.

After hearing about CCI's vision and strategy, some attend the Teacher Training Workshops (TTWs) with great excitement and enthusiasm, but eventually feel let down when they realize they and their students have to buy the books for their classes. When we further communicate that CCI does not even pay teachers to conduct those classes, it adds insult to injury. As time goes by, these pastors start making many excuses for not starting the classes, and eventually, the fire they arrived with fades and dries out.

It is therefore on this ground that we need to pray that:

God connects/brings us to the right leaders who have their own vision and desire for discipleship and leadership training, so that when they land on the CCI strategy, it will be a long-awaited answer for their vision.
God's provision is especially needed for the initial books and, where possible, a small transport facilitation for the teachers who travel to conduct the long-distance classes.
