In my last post, I made note of a missions trip I will be going on. This is it!
While in San Diego, I was planted with The City Church SD and I committed to going to ZAMBIA, Africa with a team they are sending to a remote tribe out there.
The church is teaming up with a missions organization based in Zambia, called Overland Missions. Overland Missions is committed to every tribe, tongue, and nation in the uttermost parts of the earth to bring the Gospel, humanitarian care and economic opportunities, to save and empower lives.
They are best known for their big 4×4 trucks, expedition boats and willingness to go…where no man has gone before 🙂 Well something along those lines.
Our team will be in Zambia for the month of July, travelling off-road in trucks, then in canoes down the Zambezi river and then trekking the rest of the way to the villages. We will be camping out there in the bush for most of our time, returning to the base camp at the end of the month. I know, crazy adventurous! 😀
Well for this to happen, I will need your financial help and support in prayer to get there. But let me tell you a little about the Tonga Tribe we will visit.
The Tonga Tribe have lived in the Zambezi River valley for many centuries, and there is a fascinating story of how they got to settle there…It involves the tribe not being able to cross the Zambezi river many centuries ago in their effort to migrate south. Can you blame them? Water can be pretty scary.
*A mud home we helped re-build in Mozambique.
My hope is that in all this, we are intentional about going to every nation and tribe. And not to take away from God’s sovereignty to bring people to himself without us, but in light of Rom 10:14-15 “…how can they hear without someone preaching to them” – walking in obedience on invitation from God himself to partake in an inheritance of life that will – amongst others – come from being a part of this trip. All with opportunities to disciple and
see established, a sustainable culture where locals are equipped with the resources to further implement kingdom culture through-out their region.
And yes, I would love for you to partner and partake with me. 🙂
The trip will last about a month, from the 28th of June to the the 30th of July and it will cost an approximate amount of $4000.
A good portion of this cost is as a result of the airfare from California to Zambia. A very long expensive trip. Nonetheless, I am confident that with your support, I can get it all together in the next three (3) months.
*Praying for healing & supporting a woman that although doesn’t have much, she is sacrificially giving her home and herself to helping orphan children with even less.
If three(3) supporters commit to give a one time $500 donation, and another three (3) supporters commit to $100/mnth for three (3) months – total of $300 each and yet another ten (10) commit to $50/mnth – total of $150 each and yet another six (6) commit to $20/mnth – total of $60 each…I will be just about completely funded, not including any miscellaneous local travel expenses.
Please prayerfully consider what you can give and how you can be part of my support team. Really any amount you can give, no matter how small, goes a long way to getting me to my goal.
**PLEASE NOTE Since I am going with my local church in San Diego, and not Adventures in Missions, all donations for this trip should be made out to me directly or if you would like to get the tax benefits, can be made out to The City Church SD, memo – Arthur Peters Zambia Trip. Send either format to me at;

*Learning & working the craft of building mud homes.
As always I am very much grateful for your continued support, financially and in prayer. And as much as I need your money $$ 🙂 I do need your continued prayers for direction, trust in Him and empowerment of His Glory upon my life. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions or concerns.
