tion, but involves being changed by what we
learn, being transformed (Matthew 11:28-
30). Jesus called people to follow or imitate
his life.
I would like to thank my dear brothers and
sisters who, by preaching and example, bring
people to become believers. I encourage my
dear brethren to strive to spread the good
news of the Gospel all over the world.
News from Zambia
CHINGOLA | Bro Pinoty Chembele
Chingola ecclesia in particular is progressing
well. The books you sent me are helping us
very much. So far many people would like to
start taking Bible lessons using Bible Basics.
As I write, we have 38 contacts, 4 of whom
were baptised using other lessons from Bro. Z.
Muntete of Nakonde. 8 are almost finished and
ready for baptism, one of whom is my
daughter who is my firstborn. Then 26 more
will be baptised after finishing the lessons, or
Bible Course, God willing. As it is, these four
baptised members have no Bibles at all, there-
fore I would be grateful if you could send four
Bibles for them to use.
My daughter is now doing the last level of her
Secondary School, but unfortunately she has a
lot of credit at school. Total amount of the
credit is K1,775: that is school fees which
should be paid up for two years, and the exam
fees as well. But all this money I have failed
to pay because I am still not at work. In Chin-

people, but are re-trenching workers.

I am very interested in the Gospel News maga-
zine and like to hear from my brothers and
sisters around the world, especially that we
are one community and spiritual family in
Jesus Christ, our Lord and King.
I am a trained primary teacher working in the
Republic of Zambia, but faced with a lot of
challenges. The Government of Zambia re-
cently announced that all those with primary
certificates in teaching should upgrade to
Diploma: failure to do this would mean they
will have to expect losing their job in three
years’ time. Sponsors for applicants are
required.
When Jesus was resurrected from the grave
after three days, he instructed his disciples
to go and teach the Gospel, baptizing
believers in the Name of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. A true believer is one who has
become a personal follower of Christ,
imitating his life, showing his truth and
walking in Christ’s way; living Christ’s love
and sharing the truth of the Gospel to others.
One of the most important attributes to
become a disciple is teachability. Learning
for a disciple is not just taking in informa-
