NEWS FROM BROTHERS & SISTERS

Bibles, or Bible students to be baptiZed.

Recently Bro. Denis Kombe and Bro. Silas Chishimba came to Kabompo from Ndola and Kitwe respectively on a joint visit to baptiZe two Bible students, Srs. Patricia Makina and Jessy Kutoha. We expect to baptise five more Bible students soon.

Please pray for the Kabompo Ecclesia that we may be given strength to intensify preaching and resources to embark on the construction of an ecclesial hall this year. We have paid K600,000 for application forms, for plot interviews and have successfully been interviewed. We have been told to pay K10 million {Kwacha (?1,184)} in order for the council to allocate us with a plot number in Kabompo town. We are eager to mould bricks, burn and ferry them to the site, God willing, in May, June and July to start the actual construction of the Ecclesial hall.

The number of Bible students is rising as more people in Kabompo are understanding the truth, and leaving wrong doctrines. So we need your help this year in sending to us literature, especially information on the signs of the times, doctrinal information and other literature. Bro. Denis Kombe has sent us a standard building plan. We shall, God willing, bake 3,000 bricks and start construction by the end of this year.

We are sure that many people in Zambia like going to church halls and this will help us more in preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God, although not at all forsaking door-to- door preaching and the preaching through our way of life towards the outsiders.

I will be happy to continue receiving Gospel News and also glad to receive other literature. It is true, brother, like soldiers going to the battle in war, who have first to prepare themselves, it is the same for us Christians – we need to redouble our efforts to prepare ourselves for the return of our Master, Jesus Christ.

More people are returning to the Word of God, although some are not in the Truth; of course more have come to realize that the end of the world is near because of the things which are happening. These are amazing things and this is the time, as Christians we must seriously proclaim the Word of God to non-believers, by helping them urgently to turn to the Lord so that they can be saved from eternal death.

I was so happy to receive the NEV Bibles, Gospel News, plus supplementary materials – a few Notes on some events which clearly make us aware of the likeliness of the Master's return.It's good to reach out, and this is quite evident through your untiring work which we, too, endeavour to support by whatever little correspondence we send in for Gospel News. Let's all pray for new projects for His work, and I assure you there are indeed many things coming our way, which we should not ignore.

I could see the smiling faces of brethren and some Bible students when I was giving out the NEV Bibles. The comment I got was, "This is the one" – a very helpful, well designed Bible. It is very good for our student, who has been asking so
