News with them. Several times they have rec-
ognized brethren and sisters they knew when
they were in a refugee camp for five years.
The family is always so happy to take the mag-
azine home. Their older children are learning
English and often translate pages with infor-
mation about brethren and sisters from Africa.
It is a great work that you all do!

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 king-
dom here on earth.
The Fraternal Gathering in the south was suc-
cessful at Daphan Ecclesia in Kalomo. It was
attended by ecclesias such as Kafne, Maz-
abuka, 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 com-
municate 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 proj-
ect 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.

CHIPINGE | Bro Farai Makandeni
We had a good weekend with Bro Steve and Sis
Ruth Moore from the U.K. at Hunnington Re-
treat Centre at Chinhoy. Bro Steve gave us a
talk on fellowship matters, emphasizing that
we as Christadelphians should learn to be
united, that good fellowship only exists if
believers walk in light, without sinning. We
should learn to love one another in giving and
sharing and also to have faith in Jesus Christ
as the one who was sacrificed to die on the
cross for our sins. In this we remember Jesus
when we break bread and drink wine as a
symbol of continuing living in his name.
