Of Kings and Villagers

Of Kings and Villagers

BY BRIAN REX DAVIS | ACTION! EDITOR & WBS PRESIDENT

Twenty-three Study Helpers from five congregations joined Sondra and me in Zambia in July for a World Bible School follow-up Gospel meeting. We used the WBS Advanced course, “Test the Spirits,” for our lessons.

Each campaigner prepared to teach 16 hours of cross-cultural classes that challenged us to look to Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith and His inspired Word as the source of our understanding. His Royal Highness King Mumena visited the encampment with his entourage, and after reviewing the lessons, said, “You Gospel people, share the Word of God with my people!” He didn’t have to ask twice.

Allison Davis (above, in the green shirt) is my daughter-in-law. She and her husband, Noah (my oldest son), joined several Study Helpers from the Central Church of Christ in Paducah, Kentucky, on the campaign. Allison said this about her experience:

“My Students described their lives with witch doctors, the worship of dead ancestors and the fear inherent in a pagan worldview. Thankfully, some of them repented of following false gods and declared that they wanted to be followers of Christ. They repented of their sins, confessed Christ as Lord and were baptized.

After choosing to follow Christ, these women challenged their fellow Students to find true salvation and freedom. It was humbling to see souls so earnestly seeking the truth of God’s Word. Beyond that, seeing such new Christians use their stories to evangelize their peers deeply touched me.

Even in their vulnerability, these ladies’ commitment and earnest desire for truth motivate me to be an example and advocate for the same devotion in the States!”
