I listened to them about their own life experiences here in Zambia. My resting was not simply sleeping but meeting different people at different places. It was also very comforting. <\/i><\/span><\/address>\n

I met some of my brothers diocesan priests, very welcoming, in my Parish in Kaputa as well as the Cathedral in Kasama. <\/i><\/span><\/address>\n

The video below shows in a colorful way how Father Joseph Dupont, known as Bishop Motomoto, healed the wounds of chief\u00a0 Makasa, event that sparkle his missionary encounter.<\/i><\/span><\/address>\n
<\/i><\/b>I praise God for guiding me during this time of resting. May the Good Lord bless me and all confreres in our places of mission!<\/i><\/span><\/address>\n
