NEWS FROM ZAMBIA

MAZABUKA | Bro Gibeon Hankamone

I love receiving many copies of ‘Gospel News’ and it is so uplifting to read and so much encouragement to hear about brothers and sisters around the world who share the same statement of faith all patiently waiting for the Lord Jesus to come and establish God’s kingdom here on earth.

The Fraternal Gathering in the south was successful at Daphan Ecclesia in Kalomo. It was attended by ecclesias such as Kafne, Mazabuka, Muzoka, Kalomo and Livingstone. The total number who attended was 88, even though there were others that could not manage to come. The theme of the teaching was ‘Principals of Ecclesial Life’ led by Bro Kelly Simayumbula. It was uplifting to see local ecclesias in Kalomo growing in faith.

Postage to the U.K. has been increased in Zambia, so that most brothers and sisters won’t be able to afford postage. The current price is now K20 instead of K2.50. This is going to be a big challenge for us. I prefer to communicate with you by e-mail which will be cheaper for me.

We had an opportunity of purchasing a church plot in Mazabuka and we sent the estimates to the Linkman in U.K. and later he said the project cannot be funded at the moment.

For we do not hope in what our eyes can see, but that which we do not see (Romans 8:24-25). And it is through this hope that we are saved. May we not lose hope and spiritual sight of the lasting and eternal hope we love and cherish so much.
