Hi all, The ministry weekend went well - I have copied a graduate report for you below and will make comments on the blog tomorrow. We are now in Livingstone to pick up the family coming up to Samfya - email in Lusaka didn;t work!!
Report form Past students from Samfya Bible School - Kapata/Chikunyu Zone
(slightly abridged and edited to flow!!)
To the Saints at Riverbend Bible Church, New Zealand
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We are very happy tp see brother Pastor Donald Stevenson and the family come to us again. We still thank God for how He uses you people of New Zealand to help the people of Samfya. We even received the Bemba Bibles from you. We know that you are still remembering us people of Samfya. We also thank the teachers of Samfya Bible School for the servant spirit they have by helping people of Zambia by telling them God’s good news. We get knowledge from them. We are six past students in these zones:
Br. Francis Pengele from Kapata Central Assembly
Br. Dickson Chikundu from Kampolombo Assembly
Br. Dominic Chilufya from Chikunyu Assembly
Br. Davies Kawama from Chikunyu Assembly
Br. Lazarous Mwelwa from KAbende Mushi Assembly
Br Alfred Mutanda from Chisuku Assembly
What the Lord has done here:
We are conducting the following seminars
- Seminars for leaders
- Seminars for elders
- Seminars for Deacons & Deaconesses
- Couples Meetings
- Seminars for Youth Groups
We also preached to the people, “Repent and believe the gospel.” The people who believed His message and turned to follow him became his disciples, accepting Him as their Saviour. Praise God for the blessing.
We formed a youth group called Kamaka. It is a joy to see parents letting their children come to learn God’s Word. We have six assemblies were we started youth groups. When we meet together it is called Kamaka.
Sunday School is now done in most of the Assemblies in these zones. Three assemblies were started by the past students of Samfya Bible School...
Future plans:
- Sunday School Teacher Training
- Teaching the preachers how to prepare a lesson (27 churches in our region)
- Teaching those who have never been to school (literacy)
- Francis and Doreen Pengele planned to go and Evangelise in Central Province in Kapiri District in Sep/Oct 2010. The problem is concerning accommodation costs...”I spend most of my time in the work of the Lord. Only my wife supports the work...” (an appeal for assistance).
May God bless you all - signed by the six graduates.
