Teaching “Abiding Life Seminars” and leadership in Zambia to native pastors.

Don was born and raised in and around Dallas, Texas. Although taken to church as a young child, Don came to know Christ personally after university and starting a career in aerospace engineering, on May 1, 1967.  Later, after years of trying to work FOR God as a missionary and a pastor, the Lord brought him to a new way of living --- total dependence on Him.

Gwen was born in Ponoka, Alberta, and grew up as a pastor’s daughter. Her father as a Free Methodist pastor in churches in Alberta, BC, & Sask.  Gwen was converted as a young child at camp in Winfield, BC.   Although she earnestly tried to live the Christian life, she found it to be a great struggle.  Not until many years later did she come to really know Christ and enter into His rest and all fear & doubt came to an end.

Ministry: In Lusaka, Zambia (Africa) Since 2004   This usually entails Seminars, Bible Courses, and Leadership Training for Pastors & Church Officers within their own  townships and compounds.

Challenges:

1.   The multitude of invitations to ministry

2.   The need to locate more places (church buildings, schools, etc. ) where  electricity is available since we use an Overhead Projector during teaching.

3.   Waiting patiently as the Lord Jesus raises up Zambians to know Him and the power of His resurrection  (and to minister this grace).
