Zambia is a good example of what it means to be a fallen world. Because it • has poured all its resources into copper, Zambia isn't able • to produce enough food for its inhabitants. In spite of all the unpleasantness, the Churches are full and still growing. The minister has no car and has to travel on foot. People give generously and wholeheartedly.
