NEWS FROM ZAMBIA

CHINSALI | Bro Edward Choko

Let us work for the Kingdom of God, not for the things of the world. Let us fight for eternal life in the Kingdom of God by living and preaching the good news to all people – Luke 4:43, “Blessed are you when men hate you because of the Son of Man, Christ Jesus” – Luke 6:20-23. Be spiritually rich in the eyes of God. Jesus said that God has given to you the secrets of the Kingdom of God – Luke 8:10.

We will be in the Kingdom if we are doing good things for God – Read Luke 12:31-32. “I tell you the truth, whoever has left home or wife or brother or parents or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God will receive it.” Luke 18:29-30. Let everybody follow Jesus Christ as did the disciples, Simon Peter, James and John.

KABOMPO | Bro Reuben Kaambeu

I am informing you that I have retired from secular employment. For my retirement I have re-settled at my Lelavana Farm situated at Malolwa, about 45 kilometres north-west of Kabompo.

I have a Bible student who has keen interest in studying the things concerning God, Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. I have some Bible students who would like to have copies of the New European version of the Bible. Due to the high cost of postage I do not know if you are able to send me ten Bibles for I have opened a new preaching point at the Lelavana Farm this year and the attendance on Sundays in the evenings is very encouraging and the people want to be using the New European Version of the Holy Bible instead of other versions during the Bible study but the copies I have are not enough to cater for all those who read and understand the English language, especially those in the Ministry of Agriculture and the teachers in the community. You may also know that I have chosen to lead a quiet life on the farm away from town life in Kabompo town so that I can concentrate on preaching the Word of God (the Gospel of the Kingdom of God) to the poor in the rural villages of the neighbourhood of my farm.

KAPIRI MPOSHI | Bro Chisosa Ostine

I was thrilled to receive the “Teach Me Thy Way” booklet, which I have great interest in and if possible would like some more copies to help in the preaching work.

KASAMA | Bro Joshua Mushili

The NEV Bible project is a success in that many brothers and sisters have benefited in understanding the Holy oracles better than before during their Bible Study, you can tell the way that brethren explain various scriptures so perfectly. Most of our students are still on the 40 lesson correspondence course. I am confident we are on the right path brother. We started preaching in the northern Provinces of Zambia recently and we have over 20 very interested friends. You can be impressed to see how the Truth is spreading in this area and if available we need 15 copies of the N.E.V.

NDOLA | Bro James Mwanza

It has been a long time since I wrote an article as I have been going through thick and thin - but knowing very well that nothing can separate me from the love of GOD. We were called to work, by accepting Jesus as Lord we signed up to being His servants. Each servant has been given a task to do, to every man his work, Mark 13:34. Read also Romans 8:35. God is able to do or manage our life or affairs. He knows us. Eph.3:20. We must also deny ourselves and follow Jesus Christ and take up our cross as soldiers of the cross daily, all the time, forsake everything. We have to follow Him. We must be willing to suffer for Jesus Christ. We should examine ourselves in whatever we do as this will help us not to fall away or to cause others to fall away. Read 1 Corinthians 11:23,26,27,29. Here in Ndola ecclesia we have lost our Bro Victor Chizuma, who has fallen asleep in Christ.
