Podcast: God's Work in the African Church (Conrad Mbewe)


Matt Tully
You currently serve as a pastor in Lusaka, Zambia, and my guess is that many, or most, of our listeners don’t know a lot about Zambia. Could you just tell us a little bit about your country and city that you live and minister in?
Conrad Mbewe
Zambia is a land-locked country, so we don’t have any access to the sea or ocean. It’s somewhere between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn—right in the middle there—surrounded by about eight countries. It’s got a population of about 15 million people. We have many small tribes and languages, and we’ve got about 70 dialects that make up our entire nation. English is our major language of communication. We were once colonized by the British, and so it was decided after independence to keep the English language. As you already said, I live and minister in Lusaka. It’s the capital city, and it’s got a tenth of the population for the whole country—roughly 1.5 million people. We have people from all over the country in our city. Our population, in terms of age, we are given to understand by those that study demographics that the population is largely young people below the age of 25. So, that’s the kind of age group that we are largely ministering to. That’s what I’ll say about Zambia. It’s democratic—we’ve been changing governments every five years or so for the last 50+ years.
