INTERNATIONAL NAVIGATORS NEWS
Focusing on The Navigators in Zambia

In this issue, International Vice President David Lyons focuses our attention on how Navigators in Zambia are taking a stand against poverty, corruption, and injustice. They join countless Christians who throughout history have compassionately served the weakest members of society. Motivated by the biblical truth that every person is created in the image of God, Christians have changed lives and transformed cultures. As you read this issue, we encourage you to consider the following words by Justin Martyr (AD 100-165).

“We who once valued above everything the gaining of wealth and possessions now bring what we have into a common stock, and share with everyone in need; we who hated and destroyed one another, and would not share the same hearth with people of a different tribe on account of their different customs, now since the coming of Christ, live familiarly with them, and pray for our enemies, and try to persuade those who unjustly hate us to live according to the good advice of Christ, to the end that they may share with us the same joyful hope of a reward from God the Master of all.”

–From Martyr’s essay The First and Second Apologies.
