New Bible Study in Chidabi
Posted by: Erin Kambenja on November 16, 2011 | Staff Blog
“It’s so good to have a place where we can all come together as Christians from any church.” This is what one of the attenders of a weekly bible study taking place in one Chidabi village said. We recently started a bible study there after a AMT (Advanced Mission Training) team did evangelism in the village for almost a week. These people are hungry for the word and so excited to be meeting in unity with people from different churches. We will be going through a book called “30 days to Spiritual Growth” where they will learn the basic foundations of faith. When we discussed unity, one member said they were encouraged to know it’s not wrong to visit different churches and members of different churches because we are all part of the same body of Christ. I look forward to seeing how this group grows and changes as the Holy Spirit works in them through the hearing of the word of God.

Bio:
Erin grew up in South Lake Tahoe, California. God put a passion for missions and Africa in her heart from the beginning of her relationship with him. She studied social work in college and received a BSW and an MSW in order to use it on the mission field.
She first traveled to Africa in 2005 on a short-term mission trip and after finishing her Bachelor’s degree, returned to Africa to live in Zambia for a year. She worked with another organization organizing a child sponsorship program and volunteering in the community of Livingstone. After returning to the U.S. for one year to complete her MSW, she came back to Zambia and worked with a small orphanage which eventually led her to the Overland Missions and the LIFE Project where a social worker was needed. Erin has been volunteering with the LIFE Project since 2010. She attended AMT in May 2010 and is now very happy to be part of the staff.
She is married to Watson, a Zambian nurse, and they are very excited to spend their life in Zambia serving those in need of hope.
