Mobilizing Indigenous Pastors in Zambia With Motorcycles
Charlottesville,VA (PRWEB) January 10, 2014 -- Hope Builders Ministries is mobilizing and equipping indigenous pastors for Ministry. Four motorcycles are urgently needed in Zambia, for leaders overseeing large regions of pastoral training and assist through:
• Greatly improving ability to travel long distances to oversee the training of up to 400 pastors/churches planted.
• Saving time, enabling the leader to visit many more trainers/trainees
• Increasing the spread of the Gospel in hard to reach places
"Motorcycles enable pastor-trainers to travel the many miles necessary to oversee the training of hundreds of pastors in vast areas with few roads and basic infrastructure," says Jeff Hawkins, Hope Builders Ministries Zambia.
For a District Leader to effectively make disciples he must be able to visit his hub leaders on a regular basis. A durable off-road motorcycle helps him to make journeys of a hundred miles or more in reasonable time where there are few roads. The district leader is a source of encouragement and training to the hub leaders who are training other church leaders in the Word of God. They are also able to transport bibles and study materials to these distant places.
Pastor Titus Shampande HBMZ District Leader Solwezi East, Northwestern Province, Zambia says, “Thank you very much for the 250cc all-terrain motorcycle. It has enabled me to be faithful in ministering to the hub leaders throughout my district.”
A gift in any amount will enable Hope Builders Ministries to purchase four motorcycles in Zambia.

About the Ministry:
The goal of Hope Builders Ministries worldwide is to be obedient to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. In obedience to this command, HBM is determined to encourage and empower indigenous ministries proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ. This encouragement and empowerment is facilitated through close, vital relationships and strategic partnerships between Christians from developed countries to Christians in developing countries. The partnerships translate into financial support for strategic development of pastoral training and disciple making in the context of the local church. Growing out of this strategic focus is the need for Bibles for biblical training for the pastors and their wives (Lydia Circle) and helping widows and orphans through the Dignity Project. HBM facilitates support for these vital ministries and provides the accountability necessary to insure the integrity of the support rendered.
