News from Zambia
CHINSALI | Bro Edward Choko
Let us give thanks to the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful Father,
the God from whom all help comes. He helps
us in all our troubles so that we are able to
help others who have all kinds of troubles,
using the same help that we ourselves have
received from God. Just as we have a share
in Christ?s many sufferings so also through
Christ we share in God?s great help. If we
suffer it is for your help and salvation, if we
are helped then you too are helped and given
the strength to endure with patience the
same sufferings that we also endure. So our
hope in you is never shaken; we know that
just as you share in our sufferings, you also
share in the help we receive.
Thank you for Gospel News as we can read
articles from different brothers and sisters
from all over the world. The economic situa-
tion has caused an increase in food prices
which is causing a lot of pain to common
people in Zambia. We pray for Jesus? return
to establish his everlasting Kingdom. I have
received Bible Basics and the Holy Bible, New
European Version with commentary. These
books are improving my spiritual growth in
Christ Jesus which is helping me to teach
other fellow students.
KAFUE | Bro Wilfred Chibomba
Prayers can bring a blessing to our work,
and programmes like the NEV Bible
project stands out as an excellent idea. I
want to assure you that this has not only
resulted in many more baptisms but to
some extent an access to the Gospel. You
can agree with me therefore that a
continued effort is needed despite draw-
backs and cost-related issues.
I personally have been receiving mails
late, as they are censored then given to
me perhaps a month later.
KAFUE | Bro Kelly Simayumbula
The NEV Bible Project is a success in that
many brothers and sisters have benefitted in
understanding the Holy Oracles better than
before; during the 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. In Western
Province of Zambia we opened our preaching
recently and we have over 50 very interested
Bible students and we have only two baptised
brothers. You can be impressed to see how
the truth is spreading in this area. If available
we need 30 copies of the NEV.
The other request my brother is that I have
run out of Bible Basics. The copies you sent
me are worn out or have not been returned to
the library. I will be pleased to receive extra
copies, say 10 of them.
