Before and after the teaching, we see many of the people coming regularly, sharing what they have learned with those that missed some lessons. In this photo, the guy in red (who is coming every day) is explaining to a friend something that he missed. In both these photos, pictures from Foundation Matters are used […]

“God liked to make a huge variety of things. Did He only make red flowers? Did He only make mango trees? No! He made flowers of many colours and many, many different trees. Just like that, He made us look different on the outside. Some of us are black and some white [here many in […]

This week we were visited by some of our leaders: Dan Rabe (NTM Africa) and Rafa and Isabel Mapa (NTM South East Africa). The visit was very encouraging! We were able to reflect on the work here, look at it from an “outside” perspective and pray together as we praise God for how far we […]

Vrydag, the traditional religious leader who has given himself whole heartedly to Christ, was teaching on the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus. He said: “My friends, I am talking to you now in plain eMwinika. I am not speaking to you with crooked words: our religion deceived us. It taught us that by works we […]

One Saturday afternoon Shatito called outside our house (the Mwinika version of knocking on a door!). He would like to show the pictures we use for teaching to his friends.

We want to share with you Salim’s witness the day after the funeral of his 5 year old daughter: “We know that death came to this world through Adam’s disobedience. Death is a result of sin, but we know that God has made a Way – only one Way – for us to be Redeemed. […]

We just heard that Nelda died. I was with her just half and hour ago. This is a huge blow for Salim, his family and the whole community. Please pray for Salim and his wife as they go through this terrible grief. The saddest thing of all: it may have been prevented. This morning I […]

Outside the wind is coming in gusts and spurts. Sometimes the sun peeks through, but mostly the sky is overcast. Stillness and turmoil. Sun or gray skies… The weather today reflects the restlessness of our community. Today will decide much for 5 year old Nelda. She has been sick since Sunday afternoon and all the […]

Thank you for your prayers for Nelda, Salim’s 5 year old daughter. She did much better last night. She even talked and asked for food! However late morning today (the same time as the previous day) she suddenly became sick again. She has a fewer and her hands are curled up and shaking. She seems […]
