Loving Like Jesus- Reflections from Zambia

The Zambia mission trip was a beautiful reminder of what it means to love like Jesus. Through the prayers offered for the trip, the encouragement shared by the team with our partners and communities, and the financial support received from people around the world, we witnessed the kind of love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4–8—love that is patient, kind, generous, and selfless.

Because of this love in action, hundreds of young people heard the Gospel, many gave their lives to Christ, countless lives were touched, and God’s Kingdom was advanced. Every prayer offered, every gift given, and every word of encouragement reflected the heart of Christ.

Loving like Jesus is more than speaking kind words. It is serving others, standing with them in faith, and helping them fulfill God’s calling. When we choose to love as Christ loves, we become instruments of hope, blessing, and transformation. As Scripture reminds us, “Love never fails.”

May we continue to share this Christ-like love wherever God sends us.
