Praise the Lord Saints! Having visited the US twice, the last one leading to my first time to attend the General Conference (47th session)of the AME Church, i must be frank to say i was amazed at the huge variety of current church resource materials that our brethren in the US have at their disposal.

From what i saw at the booths, these ranged from laity to clergy books,church administration, Bibles,clergy attire,Pulpit materials,Holy Communion vessels and identity cards.These are unseen in this part of the world of Africa and if available, they are unaffordable.

I wish to take this opportunity to request individuals and churches who would like to add value to my St Thomas AME Church by investing and donating used and or second hand church literature and resources stated above. Your kind donations will go a long way in lifting the bar of excellence to your church on the soils of Africa. Thank you in anticipation of your generous donations all of which can be sent to the following adress:

"Mark Donation" St Thomas AME Church 17th Episcopal District 82-14th Street, Nchanga South P O Box 11125 Chingola Zambia, AFRICA

Parson Mwandu -

Consider it done. As Church School Superinntendent of my local church I will personally see to it that you have a package delivered to your church by the end of November 2004. The package will consist of the items you requested. This mission project compliments the motto which I adopted for the Church School - "Studying the Scriptures, Serving Humanity". QED
