“Raising A People Of Power”

Yesterday, Sunday May 15th 2022 we launched our rural Zambia, village taylor made, leadership development programme. Particularly, for Beth Adonai Fellowship, Mbonge Solwezi.

My launch message was from Matthew 24:14 entitle, “A vow to preach Gospel” https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=490445302879090&id=100049458996125

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

What an incredible service, what a response preaching from my upturned paint bucket pulpit. What wonderful indigenous  worship, vibrant youth and choir in the newly roofed facility. I thank you all friends, partners and family for making it happen. The atmosphere in the facility was contegious, lively and capturing. It was my first service in the church building. The lack of windows, gusty and dusty floor did not deminish the object and mission. Certainly, with great gratitude to all, far much better than the outdoor and tarpauline tent, I last preached in. Emmanuel, God by his Spirit  among men.

After the service, over 17 registered to be raised as “a people of power” through this six months course. The aim is to empower a village mission base, open new frontiers with the gospel in animist and sensitive area while spreading the good news.
The program demands a two and half trip every month until December from Kitwe. We covet prayer for resource and stamina to make it happen.

God willing, 2023 January, our 2 year fulltime bible college begins in Kitwe. We ask all prospective students to ask or send in application as space is limited.

The six months leadership, is a first in the area. We therefore ask for your generous support. We need bibles English (NIV) and Kikaonde and visual aid Kikaonde (audio bible). Financial help will be greatly appreciated as it will help sustain operations in the remote site.
Leadership visual images that can help teach the iliterate leaders is appreciated.
The thought behind this is, there are very influential chiefs and traditional leaders who neither read nor write. They call them God ordained ancestral leaders. In this regard, we use God ordained biblical influence to teach the illiterate. Thus we empower our illiterate leaders with bible based divine insight to their God ordained ancestral leadership roles.

Among our key instructors is Dr Dave Garrard taking the class on June 24-26th June. A highly experienced and saught after lecturer. He was my graduate school teacher and professor of Missiology from UK.

We invite friends and mission minded end time soul winners to have a part. For this mission, we want to hear from you;

If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” Luke 19:31

Simple instruction to the disciples . They were sent to bring someones tied donkey. Certainly, it was tied, secure and belonged to someone.  However, the creator was now asking for it.

Even further observation, it’s the owners who asked but yielded to demand. As you untie free to  royalty, earthly owners yields.

Jesus has sent his disciples,  to untie what he would use for his triumphant entry into your city. What he would use for a massive revival and a stirring of choruses of Hallelujahs and hosanna in the city.
The purpose, for being loosed, is non other than that he has need if it for his glory.

In an earlier chapter and another story. Jesus told a woman, “woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity” (lk 13:12). An infirm woman, gets reprieve freedom or loosed from what had bothered, limited and hindered her. It’s like in a lot of us, ability, potential but we fail to perform because of nagging problems.

Even in death, Jesus asked that Lazarus be loosed.

… Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. John 11:44

The Question is why loose the donkey why loose the woman and why loose Lazarus?

Perhaps directed to each one of us with issues. You got untied,  you got free, you got healed, you escaped war,  escaped covid death? Even those who claim to own you, cannot stop your appointment to serve the Lord. The task is in the disciples to demand, the master has need of it.

Let God use you for his triumphant entry. Let him use you for a testimony of liberty and forgiveness. 
Let Jesus use you as a testimony over death.

My prayer is, may this Passover bring you in line with the need that the master sent his disciples for you for.
You were tied for labour, tied for abuse, tied for misuse but you are loose for the King.

May you be on royal duties with Jesus. May you walk on palms and robes of royalty strewn in your pathway. May those who claim to own you let go. May  sickness fall away, freedom be complete.

Pray with me. Jesus I yield myself to you. I accept being free untied loosed. even from death I arise with you.
Use me as you wish. Keep me humble and yielded for all the praise are yours. Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Amen!

A local feared wizard surrenders at the Jesus Power crusade.

Our 4 day Kitwe crusade ended last month Sundau November 21st. It was charecterised by signs and wonders and testimonies are still coming in.

The verse that best describes what Jesus did is,

1 John 3:8b …For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

A big story that is still unfolding from the last day, was of a feared local wizard or witch doctor. This is a man in his thirties. From appearance, no one would assume he could be involved in the dark occult world. He arrived at the offices unannounced with a big black bag seeking help. In apparent tormented, he lost his way to the crusade despite having a flyer with directions.  Further, despite his inability to read, he confessed, the flyer troubled him greatly once placed in his hands (Before distribution, I remember tell the pastors after prayer that these flyers were not ordinary anymore, just like Moses’ shepherds rod, after God spoke, was no ordinary rod).

It was also a case of Luke 3:27, which says,
…no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.

This strong man, confessed to making a living out of wizardry, for himself and his mother. He earned hundreds of dollars a month from the divinations he inherited from his grandfather at the age of fifteen.

His mother heard of his desire to be free. She opposed it because of the income he made mind for them.

On the day, he brought with him a bag full of fetishes with “a dead snake and cat” and other things. Later at his house, another bag of roots, leaves and other fetishes were brought out and burned.
His neighbourhood including a brewer of local illicit liquor gave their lives to the Lord.  Ten in all, witnesses to the witches conversion gave their lives to Jesus. A bible study and prayer group has been started at the house. 

Much later, oblivious to what had transpired, people sought his services but he confessed, “I am a new creation, born again.” He invited them to Jesus also. Hallelujah!

This first campaign amidst Covid restrictions, was a Holy Spirit fresh breeze. A first rain shower with the smell of dump earth after a long drought. A revival of the dead in darkness, the bound to freedom with healing of the sick everywhere.
The demon afflicted felling to the ground convulsing and shaking to free their host.

The physically cleaned Mapili grounds crusade venue, in the Ndeke township of Kitwe, turned in to a spiritual maternity ward with diverse healings.

No doubt souls were snatched from hell fire into the embrace of Jesus Christ. We were, “plundering hell and populating heaven,” as late Evangelist Bonnke would say.

Thank you for your prayer cover during the crusade.

Friends and partners, our first evangelistic, four day campaign, since covid restrictions were eased in Zambia, ended Sunday night.

Over three thousand, recorded salvations were made at the dilapidated, garbage littered Mapili grounds, in Kitwe. The whole crusade site underwent a physical cleansing first as it was a literal dump site despite people using it as a soccer pitch. After the physical cleansing like a maternity ward, it was ready for new births.

After days of fasting, seeing souls saved was my favourite moment. like a mother forgets her pain upon seeing her new born the event took my breath away. We snatched souls from hell fire into the embrace of Jesus Christ. Plundering hell and populating heaven, as late Evangelist Bonnke would say.

This time, our campaign with Evangelist John Deby Edukugho from Nigeria, began 18th November, 2021. I was asked to deputise the committees to add depth, from my past experiences, in mass crusade. I was also honoured to drive the Evangelist in the evening with police escourt. What an experience this was.

The pictures and video clips attached, are a sample of the campaign experiences and celebrations of God in worship, by young and old. Signs and wonders also followed the preaching of the word.In this first campaign after covid restrictions, it was a Holy Spirit visitation. It was a rain shower, the smell of earth after a drought and revival of the dead with healing of the sick everywhere. The demon afflicted felling to the ground convulsing and shaking to free their host. The Mapili grounds venue, in the Ndeke township of Kitwe turned in to a spiritual hospital addressing physical needs as well.

Today, after the crusade a known witch doctor, brough a heavy sack of fetishes asking to be freed of the burden. His mother tried to stop him as they lived off his wizardry but the devil lost the battle. We led him to the Lord, burnt the fetish got him a bible.

Kitwe shall never be the same. Thank you Jesus for the successful campaign. We praise God for the unity among churches and pastors. The cleaning up of that “dump site” in readiness for the campaign was precursor to the cleansing of souls. So many departmental contributions and my car was engaged in “war” for the first time big time. This was the purpose it was bought for. I wish to thank, friends and partners for prayers and contributions.

Thank you.Glory to God!

God gave us a breakthrough in transport this past August, if I may gratefully testify to his glory.
This need was critical, in lean and hard covid times.

Covid, hit our church fellowship badly, like many others across the globe. In our African case, we lost members through deaths, loss of jobs, fear of infection and the devils whispered thoughts like Eve in the garden of Eden. The result of this was, little income for the church and low fellowship turnout.

In all situations, we give thanks to God, like Paul   said, in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. We have been found worthy to be called overcomers so far from 2019 to 2021 pandemic. We met as a church family, as we were permitted by medical authorities our leadership changed.

If I may additionally testify, we were blessed generously in September. The  result was a first travelled to our mission outpost in our village church in a long while.  The church meets in some sorrowful structure with wind beaten plastic and tarpaulin. But their zeal was undiminished. This structure is soon to change.

With our October 2021 visit, our Solwezi fellowship built a kiln for their hand made bricks and are on course to build. Our building is now at roof level in just a few weeks.

We know, many people pray for us as such this update and write up of gratitude. Your prayer and generous support is highly appreciated. 

At the moment, Mbonge Solwezi fellowship just needs a  roof. This stage of construction cannot be done in phases and needs specialised materials. The rain is also closer than before.

Our Solwezi fellowship has shown great commitment and resolve. They are a highly motivated group to do more by themselves.

So far so good, and thank you again for your prayer, encouraging comments forgetting your faithful support to Beth Adonai Fellowship Kitwe and Mbonge, Solwezi.

We want to hear from you soon.
