COUPLES CONFERENCE IN NORTHERN ZAMBIA
John and Maggie Bwalya organised a Couples Conference in a remote rural area in Northern Zambia in mid October. 38 couples attended and there were also 10 people who came with no partner making a total of 86 people. The teachings were on Marriage with opportunities for questions, discussions and contributions. The teachings were very well received. Testimonies are now coming back of situations changing and households who were having problems have reconciled. Three women have also promised to go back to their husbands.
A VILLAGE COMES TO THE LORD
Njanje who lives in Malawi close to the Zambian border recently conducted an open air meeting in a near-by village and the whole village responded to the gospel. He is now very busy discipling the people who responded to the Gospel. He has an organised team and they meet every Wednesday for Bible study and prayer. He is helping the new Christians to study the Bible and grow in Christ. As there are few Bibles and the majority of his bible study members cannot read and write, he is facing some challenges.
TESTIMONY OF FRANCIS
Francis was born into a Polygamist home where his father had three wives. His mother was the third wife. Life was difficult and when his mother died his two step mothers made his life very miserable. He drifted into the wrong company, started to drink and steal and stopped going to school. Last January, Justin, a Level 4 Sower in training, introduced Francis to the Lord using a counselling booklet in Bemba. Francis accepted the Lord as his Saviour and his life began to change. His Father and Step Mothers could not believe the change in him. Francis has returned to school and is now starting to teach Sunday School under Justin’s supervision.
