...the kingdom of God belongs to such as these

“…’Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’  And He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them.”
Mark 10:14-16.


Our church has a little mission; a small room made of metal roofing sheets, in a village about five miles from Mwimuto (Mm-wee-moo-toe), the village location of our church.
Currently the little mission church is comprised of only children, no adults.  Some would say it is not worth the effort, but not David.

Some years back, David a very determined young man, had a desire to play the piano, but had no one to teach him. Determined that God wants his service through music, David listens to worship songs and practices. He now leads our congregation in music, playing the piano by ear.

Today some of our congregation come along to help and
he happily allows us to teach and lead the children in a few songs

Faithfully teaching at this little mission church which meets a short time after our own service concludes, David takes a matatu (small van – public transportation) reaching the little metal building in the afternoon.

Encouraging others to participate, he continues on whether others join him or not.







Have you noticed the pictures hanging on the metal walls?  These are pictures of Bible stories, which David’s brother drew by hand and some of the children colored. We are amazed at the effort and commitment, the determination of this young man.  We are thankful for his desire to follow Christ and to step out to minister – even to the littlest, the least – for God’s glory.

Pray that this little mission, which is not more than a Sunday School class, would grow.

As their faith develops, pray that these children would decide to make Christ the Savior and Lord of their lives. 

Pray for the parents of these young ones; that as they see a difference in the lives of their children, they too would desire to know the God of salvation.
