“What Is a Baptist?” They Ask in Zambia

Why are you here? What is a Baptist? Are Baptists a cult? What do you believe? These and other questions have been asked of career missionaries Daren and Shawna Davis over the past several months. In addition to these questions there has been years of false teachings throughout the district of Kalabo.

As a result, the Davises sponsoring a conference for leaders to learn “What Baptists Believe.” Please pray that the lessons will help church leaders be able to explain what the Bible teaches about salvation, baptism, church leadership, and more. Pray that these lessons also will be used by God to shine the light of truth on the false teachings that have been accepted by many throughout this district of Zambia.
