Jubilee Church Derby is part of a wider family of churches called ChristCentral which is in turn part of Newfrontiers - a family of churches together on a mission.
As we work together to see the gospel extended we sometimes get to partner directly with churches in other nations. Over the last year ChristCentral has been working alongside the Apostolic Team in Zambia to help provide it with a satallite version of the ChristCentral School of Leadership.
The School of Leadership team has been sending out to Zambia, DVDs & memory sticks with recordings of the teaching aspects of the course, so that the local team can gather and train their own leaders.
As this course began to take shape it became clear that the Zambian team needed some PA equipment which they could use for these training days.
I had the priviledge of being able to spec and send out the equipment to the team in Kitwe. What we needed was a system which wouldn't cost too much, would be simple to set up and would be appropriate for the number of delegates. It also needed to be relatively rugged to allow for the environment it would be used in.
A week or so ago we got a photo sent through of the equipment, which had finally arrived safely in Kitwe. One of the boxes which we sent went missing in Zambia once it had arrived and ended up in the Lusaka office of the shipping company who had picked it up from the airport. It took a number of weeks for the team to locate the box but everything did arrive safely which is great news!
