They were exhorted to follow the greatest leader of all, the Lord Jesus Christ as their role model for prefect leadership and life itself.

Transport from South Africa: Zambian Airways in collaboration with kulula.com is offering a favourable return ticket from Johannesburg — currently ZAR 1620 including airport tax (please keep in mind that an additional USD 20.00 is payable in cash on departure from Lusaka). This price represents by far the lowest available on the market. Negotiations in Zambia with the airline confirmed that an even lower price would not be attainable. Prospective participants are therefore encouraged to take advantage of the offer as soon as possible.
