“… and so I stand here to testify to high and low alike, stating only what the prophets and Moses said would happen- that the Christ would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead and would announce light to our people and the gentiles.” Act 26:24b, 23 Christ is risen! But in […]

“We are now in a new era as a Mwinika people. The old times are past and the things we did are no longer necessary now that we know what God’s Word says. We have to do things differently now. I am not going to do any more of the ceremonies in which I have […]

See the update on the certificate ceremony coming soon… This is the last week of this round of literacy classes! We thank the Lord for each student and teacher helper who came and learned to read and […]
