Agosto 2019 – Ministerio en Zambia

Posted on Mission Bulletin Stories (Espanol) by Robert Breckenridge · July 12, 2019 4:23 PM

El que es enseñado en la palabra, haga partícipe de toda cosa buena al que lo instruye. Gálatas 6:6

Es una alegría servir en Zambia y enseñar en la Universidad de la Iglesia Unida de Zambia (IUZ). Algunos problemas crónicos me presentan retos: no hay conexión de internet confiable para las aulas, una biblioteca en necesidad, una copiadora antigua que no es confiable y un sistema de suministro de agua en descomposición; pero lo estamos logrando. Llegué el invierno pasado para enseñar historia de la iglesia, pero me reclutaron para enseñar historia de la iglesia africana, habilidades de investigación, teología y misionología. Mi esposa vino unos meses después para apoyar a la biblioteca de la universidad y ha encontrado otros desafíos en el laboratorio de computación y otras áreas.

August 2019: Ministry in Zambia

One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. Galatians 6:6

It is such a joy to be serving in Zambia and teaching for the United Church of Zambia (UCZ) University. I am challenged by some chronic problems - no reliable Wi-Fi for the classrooms, a needy library, one old copier that is not dependable, and a decaying water supply system - but we are succeeding. I arrived last winter to teach church history but have been drafted to teach African church history, research skills, theology, and missiology. My wife came a few months later to support the university library and has found other challenges in the computer lab and in the stacks.

Pray with Zambia Sunday, June 23, 2019

Zambia_Charo_Breckenridge_IMG_20190512_091835.jpegLectionary Selection:  Luke 8:26-39

Prayers for Zambia:  

O, Heavenly Father, thank you for this wonderful story about Jesus healing a tortured soul. Even though most of us do not experience illness and psychological distress as “demons” anymore, the reality of such trials as these is ever present in our beloved Zambia. Children and adults here and everywhere continue to suffer the desolation and pain of mental illness. We, your creatures, Father, suffer so miserably from these afflictions. We pray for deliverance and restoration to health. We pray for all those to try to relieve this suffering. We pray for the caretakers. We pray for those who work to comfort and heal these brothers and sisters of ours. It is a hard vocation and we ask for your guidance and empowerment. Send us new hope. Restore and cleanse our own spirits. Put us all back in our “right” minds. Send us all out into our cities to, like the man whom Jesus cleansed, proclaim what Jesus has done and is doing for all of us. We ask all these mercies in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Gender Equality Project of TEE Zambia

Posted on Projects by Global Ministries (Disciples of Christ and United Church of Christ) · May 30, 2019 11:04 AM

Read the most recent update here.

Founded in 1979, Theological Education by Extension in Zambia (TEEZ) is an ecumenical program of nine churches aimed at providing extension-based theological training to church leaders and lay members in order “to prepare all God’s people for the work of Christian service” (Ephesians 4:12).TEEZ courses are taught by extension, which means the school goes to the students in their local setting instead of asking students to leave their ministry for training. This offers education at a lower financial cost and is a more effective use of time. Another asset of the TEEZ model is that the training is contextual because the students learn within their own ministry environment and context. Each year, TEEZ offers courses in all ten provinces of Zambia, including the most remote areas. More than 10,000 students study with TEEZ each year.

Joyful Noises in Zambia

Posted on Missionary Stories by Robert Breckenridge · April 09, 2019 11:38 AM

One of the aspects of Zambian worship, which has most struck me during my term of volunteer service here, has been the very rich musical life of the United Church of Zambia (UCZ).

Pray with Zambia Sunday, March 31, 2019

Posted on Weekly Prayers by Robert Breckenridge · March 25, 2019 12:00 AM

Lectionary Selection:  Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32

Prayers for Zambia:  

O, Heavenly Father, we confess that, like the Prodigal Son, we are wanderers. We are always longing for something else. We seek novelty. We want something different, something exciting. Always we want more... more than we have, more than we need, more than our competitors, more than we deserve. You know our deep failings. Forgive us for taking advantage of your grace without real contrition. We know it is your nature to love and forgive and we are like wayward children. In the end, though, we know it is only your love that will satisfy and can restore us to health and life.

So, here we are to ask yet another favor. We ask for our friends, your servants in Zambia. Our lives here are precarious. There is so much sickness and suffering. Many people experience poverty and injustice and are in danger of losing hope, losing their way, falling from your strong arms. Today we beg for you to act on our cold, self-centered, and idolatrous hearts. Unworthy though we are, show us how we can reach out with greater love to the least of our sisters and brothers, your own family here. Show us the way home to the place where you reign and dispense real riches among us.

We ask these mercies in Jesus’ blessed name. AMEN.
