In my meetings in Singapore I briefly reflected on the truth
from our Lord Jesus that He is building his church. The bride of Christ is the
most precious entity on earth – it is His, it is what He is building and
working in and through, so what a privilege it is to partner with a ministry
that is all about strengthening, growing and blessing the ministry of the local
church in Bemba speaking Zambia.
In leaving the staff at Samfya, I was encouraged by the
large number of potential students for 2013, the possibility of the second year
programme beginning in 2013, and also the new School Teachers training programme
that is going to see these teachers given a great Bible Programme to help them
in their ministries in the village areas that they are posted to by the government.
I was also very encouraged by the progress in buildings at
Samfya. We have five great new units for married couples, a three block
classroom, a new visiting lecturers house, a staff house just about finished
and the multi-purpose hall (kitchen, dining, conference) nearing completion,
but still needing about NZ$9000 to complete it. If you would like to assist
with this let me know!!
Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for my time away
and for the ministry of Samfya. God is blessing this ministry and using it to
glorify His name! If you are interested in a visit to your church to speak
about this work please don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
