Central Baptist Church, Fisenge |
Grace Baptist, Chingola |
|
| Don Howard is the
missionary/pastor at Central Baptist Church. They began about 18
months ago and were recently organized.
Charles Mambwe is a member of Cen- tral and is always found
at church when- ever the doors are opened. This has been his
habit since he was saved. He desires prayer for his family to be
saved too.
The church's desire is to fulfill both parts of the great
commission, going and training, and to plant churches and make leaders
out of followers. |
NEW CHURCHES ARE NECESSARY
FOR THE B.B.F.Z. TO GROW. SO, LET US ASK GOD TO ENLARGE OUR BORDERS (I
Chron. 14:10) AS WE WERE CHALLENGED BY JOHN MUKENDI, FROM CONGO D.R.
|
This church was
started in 2000 and is led by Missionary/Pastor Gary Stuart and is
growing steadily. Even though it is a young church, there are
some people who have shown commitment in working for God, like John
Nkhoma. He is devoted to God, growing spiritually and loves
singing. He goes for soul winning and says that, "I want to
serve God for the rest of my life."
The prayer of the people at Grace is to reach out to as many people
as they can and train others who can teach also. |

| Foreign Student Joins B.B.C. |
| By Catherine, Nsofwa
and Jonathan Matembo Mumene, who is from Congo D.R., is the first
foreign student to be en- rolled at B.B.C. He is pleased to be in
Zambia as one of the theological students in a college of the same
faith and doc- trinal truths. In his life Matembo has al- ways dreamed
of being a pastor or mis- sionary. He was encouraged by his fam- ily
and friends. |
Coming here has not been
easy, since English was a foreign language to him,but he studied
before he came and he knew God would make it possible be- cause He
wanted him to learn and be perfected for the work of the gospel. He
appreciates the help he has received from students and professors.
|
"My secret of success
is to trust God." |
|
Matembo finds the
students to be help- ful, caring, peaceful, and happy. He said,
"The students have a spirit of unity and working together that
has made me to be grounded in my Christian life; I am run- ning ahead
of my personal goals." When asked his secret of success, he
replied, "It is to trust God." |

| "Cornerstone" Cantata
Presented |
|
By J. Shimishi and Evaristo
The B. B. C. Choir presented a sneak preview of the Cantata,
"Cornerstone". The outstanding and inspiring cantata, led by
the director, Meshelle Bowles, was perrormed at Faith Baptist Church
in Roan 19th August at 16:00 hours. It was
attended by area churches. Also present were Pastor Robinson and two
of his deacons, Al Eernisse and Randy Abell, who were visiting
from the U.S.
|
The audience applauded the
choir as they danced and sang their way to the platform.
Some cheered and others praised the Lord, stricken with emotion
|
|
|
"Make a joyful noise unto
the Lord . . ." Psalm 100:1 |
|
as they listened to the
cantata. Even the director was touched by the presentation as
she unashamedly kicked off her shoes during the performance.
Certainly the students had worked hard for several
months on the cantata, so this was quite an achievement for them. They
will be presenting the music again on Wednesday of the Graduation
Fellow- ship and they hope you will sing praises to the Lord with
them. |
