JUNE 2025
INTRODUCTION
Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we send hearty greetings to you and wish you the best of this year in Him. As we send this report we remember the words of the Psalmist; “Posterity will serve him; future generation will be told about the Lord. They will proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn for he has done it” Psalm 22:30, 31. Indeed for the gospel to spread and the Lord’s Church to grow, God needs the right kind of men who are faithful, teachable, men who will teach and willing to serve the Lord. We are so happy that we are part of His plan as we labor together in His Vineyard.
The following spiritual life building activities took place at BVBI-Zambia and the Church at large in Zambia in the month of June.
Wedding bells
Our former student brother Jally Siawaza and Tamara Namonje were married at Church of Christ in Mikomfwa by Brother Fred Kanangu on 28th June. They now live and worship in Kitwe District at Church of Christ in Kanfinsa. Jally is still working there as a preacher and the work is going on well.
Eleven members from Kitwe came to offer moral and financial support to him. We continue to praise Yahweh as our own trained men continue to uphold the standard taught to them and becoming good examples in the Lord’s Church and community at large.
Short break
Our School in on a short break and we are resuming classes in the first week of July. All our students have gone home except the two. Everyone was given a special assignment to perform during this short break. And we are constantly in touch with them and we have received good report mostly from the Leadership from their home congregations, they are actively involved in evangelism and visitation
We also have good news from one of our married student Trust Siamachila who has been blessed with a newborn baby.
Church of Christ at Prison Luanshya
We have been given permission to preach at Prison in Luanshya and in the month of June the work has been very encouraging. The first time the message was presented to prisoners we recorded Ten (10) baptisms and the second time the message was presented we have recorded twenty five baptisms. It is praise worthy thing that we now have a congregation at prison in Luanshya District
We believe life begins to change to our brothers and sisters who are still in prison and we just hope and expect better behavior to follow them when they will be out of prison. Most of them are still serving their 5 years sentence
Borehole dug in three places
We have reached in the remotest part of our 3 districts in the villages where we normally preach the gospel, but this time we did not just preach the word to them, we also helped them to have access to clean water through Healing Hand International. While the population in these villages is increasing, we made sure that these boreholes were dug at premises where members of the church of Christ meet.
We have witnessed a great jubilation among brothers and sisters and the communities at large. These have been a follow up in places where we have established the Lord’s Church namely at Chibwe, Kasongo and Mitondo all three of the copper-belt province
Baptisms and Restorations
We have recorded thirty five (35) baptisms, and 2 of our current students (Elvis and Lenard) reached as far as Nakonde and Mbala, worked with two of our former students (Ishmael and Levy) and we recorded eight (8) baptisms in Northern Province. And five (5) baptisms were recorded from Lusaka Province through our Alumni Richard, Simon and Daniel. We have also recorded thirteen (13) in Southern province where 4 of our Alumni and 3 of our current students worked together and one (1) from Lupula province.
We have also recorded three (3) restorations from Mporokoso through Ishmael and Mike Kanyangala Mporokoso is in Northern part of Zambia. We also recorded 7 restorations through Aclay Kabaya and Clive Kabika our former students. In Luanshya district we have recorded 6 restorations from Mikomfwa when our students reached out for visitation program.
We have recorded a total number of sixty one (61) baptisms and a total number of sixteen (16) restorations for the month of June.
Conclusion
We continue to be so grateful to all our partners in this ministry of training these faithful men and creating the room for Church growth in Zambia. We continue to praise Yahweh for Bear Valley Bible Institute Internationally for the opportunity for us to be part of this great family in Zambia, may God bless all our leaders and may our God continue to bless Woodland Oaks Church of Chris for their commitment in supporting this work.
In His service,
Cephas and Fred
