It was the first service as a church and excitement showed on everyone’s faces. They’d been working up to this moment for months.

Kimberly Windham, an IMB missionary serving in Zambia, looked around, and her heart leapt with joy. This was church in its purest form—believers gathered to worship God and learn His truths directly from Scripture. It’s something Kimberly and her husband, Randy, never tire of experiencing.

Teaching Zambians to plant churches and transform lives with the gospel is their passion. As this group grows spiritually and in number, they move seamlessly to healthy church formation.

“It’s a seamless training,” Randy said, adding that one pastor started four churches and now trains others. Because you give, “We never stop training and planting churches.”

Now, it’s the new church’s turn to train others and multiply.

The Cooperative Program (CP) takes the Gospel to the nations and the neighborhoods. Your financial support through the Cooperative Program helps missionaries and church plants be intentional in a Gospel reach to their communities.

Pray that God would strengthen new church plants and give them opportunities to act on what they have learned.
