NEWS FROM ZAMBIA

DAPHAN

There has been a lot of activity in Daphan. Apart from preaching activities, the CBM and donors have provided for a substantial pump, pictured below, so that they can obtain good clean drinking water for themselves and others. This is really appreciated by everyone as good drinking water is so important to health and alas, the lack of it is the cause of a lot of illnesses and this type of practical help is really needed in many areas. Many thanks to all who have helped with this project.

Bro Costa Kanembe (pictured overleaf) has been giving many talks on the devil and satan, quite a shock for some Catholics to realise that Jesus called Peter “satan”, but were greatly relieved to find that the word satan is just another word for adversary and Jesus called Peter satan because at that moment he was adverse to Christ’s teaching, because Peter did not have in mind the things of God but the things of men (Matt 16:22-23).

I thank you very much for Gospel News magazine, I am very glad indeed for it to continue as it is the only Christadelphian magazine we receive regularly.

I am quite well at this time, but my wife has a lot to think and talk about concerning the death of her son, Brother Clever Ntebeka. I tell her, “Clever has fallen asleep in Christ. If you have faith in God and Jesus Christ, you will see your son at the resurrection day.” She becomes happier this way, but with tears coming out of her eyes, of course.

In God there are no poor but there are great riches. In God, real treasure lies not in what can be seen but what cannot be seen. Jesus told us to put our treasure in heaven not on earth, where there are rust and robbers, so let us put our treasure where it cannot be seen.

I pray that God can help all brothers and sisters to know the way to pass through, so that when Christ rules with His might, we shout, “Oh! I see the son of God.”

I am the mother of a son aged one year and six months who has sickle cell disease, so I go to the hospital in and out for the treatment. The health workers help us, and they tell us words to give him a lot of food, but I and the father are not in employment. Our child needs lots of food to grow well.

The people who want to know the truth are many, but there are no Bibles that they can use for studies. I would like to inform you that my wife’s sister Agnes has been sick for a long time. She is suffering from cervical cancer and needs proper treatment so that she may be cured. But this needs money to go to Lusaka where the machines are.

NDOLA | Bro Green Mumbelunga

I have a very big problem. We are passing through hardships with my children. The fact is that I was sick, so I sent my wife to go and buy some goods at Nakonde. While she was coming back she was involved in an accident which claimed 12 people dead, including my wife. She died on the spot.

All the goods she bought got lost- everything. So we are stranded very much, me and my children. Sometimes we sleep without eating any food.

Prayer Request

Please pray for our brothers and sisters who are suffering from sickness in terrible poverty and grieving for their loved ones.
