RECENT MISSION
Lusaka, Zambia
June 25-July 8, 2008
DSEA President David Stockwell, Staff Evangelist Scott Nute, and other team members from the US and Zambia have completed their mission in Lusaka, Zambia, having spoken to students in thirty-nine local high schools and universities.
Through the DSEA school assembly programs, the team reached out to young people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as educating them about drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual immorality, abstinence, and HIV/AIDS.
More than 20,000 students and hundreds teachers and administrators heard the Good News of Jesus Christ preached without compromise by DSEA team members from America and from Zambia. A large percentage of those who heard the Gospel indicated their desire to know Jesus, to follow Him, prayed the sinner's prayer, and asked Jesus Christ to become their Lord and Savior.
Pray for those new believers, that God will cause them to grow in their faith and walk with Christ. Pray for local churches, pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and Christian workers, that they will effectively reach out and help disciple these young people as they learn to walk with Jesus Christ.
Amy Stockwell's new CD was officially released October 25, 2006. Amy's beautiful soprano voice and worshipful style have been enjoyed by audiences for nearly 20 years. Her singing ministry has been a great asset to husband David's preaching of the Gospel in many countries around the world.
It is with great joy that DSEA announces the release of this album, which includes some of Amy's most popular and inspirational songs.
How shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
