316 Sunday school children from all the churches in Kananga Presbytery gathered to celebrate the silver anniversary (25 years) of Kananga Presbytery! Yes, 316 children! They heard a message from Romans 12:21 on “Conquering evil with good”, and sang and played games. They ask our prayers for the children that God will bless them.
