September 2020
Report
Warm greetings to you all brothers and sisters!! We give honor and glory to God who has given us the opportunity to work in His Kingdom and report about the events during the month of September 2020.
We continue to record good progress with our alumni, all our students are very busy spreading the gospel of Christ. In spite of the hardships brought to bear by the advert of Covid-19, more baptisms and more restorations have continued to be registered during this period. In Kabwe central province of Zambia Clive has continued to work with two congregations and we can gladly report two of the souls added to the sheepfold on 23/09/20 and he currently have thirty (30) candidates for baptism his Bible class. Hornbye, currently working with North rise Church of Christ in Ndola has restored 19 members.
Wusakile church of Christ congregation is blessed to have one of our students, Simon Khazi, working with them. We just received good report from the leadership on how he is conducting Bible studies and preaching, We have no doubt that many will be saved and indeed many will live faithfully for Christ because of the efforts that Simon is putting in.
In Mpongwe district of the Copper Belt province, we have established a congregation were Nelson Sikazindu is working and helping his elder brother with farm work he has enough time to evangelize in his area. Together with other brethren there, we believe this congregation will be one of the vibrate in the area.
Vincent Simwanza, Terence Phiri and Stembiso Magawa have continued working with Luanshya Central Church Christ. They are engaged in evangelism on a daily basis and have so far set up many Bible studies. A week hardly passes without witnessing any baptism at Luanshya Central. After completing his studies Vincent has baptized six people and had five restorations during the same time. We thank God that these men proved to be very enthusiastic about the work of our Lord. Vincent has also found work at Zambia Telecommunication company through preaching to them.
We are geared to start a new intake which will begin in the first week of October 2020. The Covid-19 cases have drastically gone down in the past two weeks here in Zambia. We pray that this continues to be the case even as we begin our next intake. We had accepted some brethren from neighboring countries but we don’t think they will make it during the first quarter. Zambia travel is now open to foreign nationals, however the Zambian government has suspended all tourist visas until further notice. We continue to pray that this pandemic ends so that normality of doing things could return.
Our hearts are truly and forever indebted to Woodland Oaks Church of Christ for financial support and all the encouragement in this good work. You are always in our prayers. Please stay safe and healthy!
Brotherly,
Cephas and Fred
