“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

SO HERE'S THE TRANSITION PLAN


(This is a bible one of the gentleman had at the church Brian and the team helped plant when they were in Zambia)


There are three key areas we will be working on to Superbly Serve in Zambia:

1. Zambia-adjusting to life in a new culture, dealing with isolation, marriage and family issues

2. Agriculture Operations-there will be ongoing research for the agriculture operation: irrigation, soil conditions, crops

3. Equipping 1000 Pastors-training (Brian in particular) to have an impact on the equipping of the 1000 pastors that this school will instruct

Each week we will journal:
1) What is the most important thing I learned this week?
2) How will this make me more effective in Zambia?



Here are some of the resources we plan to use:

BILD-Acts Course, Leaders and the Early Church, Interpreting the Word
