NEWS FROM ZIMBABWE

BANKET | Bro David and Eneres Yelulani

Members of Banket Ecclesia are sending their sincere gratitude to you and your family for your kindness in sending us the books for our library. Therefore we are very grateful to you. We are very blessed to be in a little ecclesia strong in faith. We are able to meet more frequently, although life is very difficult - for us with political problems, but we pray God will keep us safe, and above all soon end man’s corrupt rule of His beautiful world.

We immensely enjoyed the visit of our three overseas visitors by which we were spiritually uplifted, encouraged and strengthened. Sharing fellowship is such a wonderful way to grow in the Lord. It is essential to meet regularly to break bread and drink wine; reading the Bible with others is such a good way to encourage each other.

My wife Eneres and I read together each morning before we get up, to help us focus our day on important matters. I know that it is not the best time for everyone. We are retired so do not have to leave early for work so we can choose to start this way, but whenever we read it is important to remind ourselves that Jesus is with us every day and every part of our lives, “Lo, I will be with you always”, he promises. And how much we long for that day to come, the day when we are all, in God’s grace, united in love in that wonderful kingdom of peace and plenty, when all suffering and death will be over. May it be soon.

CHIPINGE | Bro Farai Makande

Here in Chipinge preaching is underway. We had students doing Shona lessons and some are under English correspondence.

Thanks to God we have another daughter “Vesper”, who was born on 11th November. We are experiencing the heat of the weather. So far we have left planting since there is no rain. Chipinge is known for its plentiful rain but this year is another year. The Almighty is showing us powers that all shall believe that He is the ruler of everything.

CHIPINGE | Bro Moses Dhlakama

Sorry for not writing. My wife Evelyn is not well. She has high blood pressure and her weight is going down and I am very worried about it.

GURUVE | Bro Fanuel Mawdzeka

I would like to thank Carelinks and Cat for their distributing Gospel Literature worldwide, with the purpose of preaching to all nations. (Mark16:15). This work is undertaken by ecclesias and individuals all over the world.

In this race to preach the Gospel Mushumbi Pools Ecclesia has carried out two book fares, displaying the Truth’s literature at our stand at the agricultural exhibitions, where many showed much interest and we had a good time answering questions and discussing Scriptural topics, as a result we had ten visitors to the meeting and others requested further literature and the correspondence course.

Encouragement

We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement. Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.

“A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good it is.” Proverbs 15:23
