Gospel News · September - December 2015

As the year rolls on there will be new disas-
ters, new catastrophes and new messes.
There will also be new depths of God’s good-
ness to sound, new insight into his Truth and
new experiences of his mercy. God does not
stand still. He moves ever onwards. He called
his people to be pilgrim people, to move
forward with him, however uncertain or
hazardous the future might be. Abraham
setting off to find a new country and start a
new life is a symbol of this pilgrimage to which
God beckons us. If God does not stand still, he
won’t let you do so either. So get moving!

our faith. While we were there Bro Kelly gave
lessons 1-8 and to our surprise the student
answered all the questions the same day.
In Mazabuka we had another baptism, my
contact Samuel Samutumwa by Bro Kelly
Simayumbula in Kafue. Samuel gave a
wonderful confession of his belief and faith
and we were pleased to give him the right
hand of fellowship and welcoming him into the
brotherhood. May God bless his walk to the
Kingdom.
God willing, there will be a similar visit to the
south with our linkmen, David Nicholls and
Simon Sheppard. Bro Kelly suggested that we
hold a fraternal gathering for five days, God
Willing, in Kalomo which will involve all eccle-
sias in the south.
I was reading the book of Revelation (22:20).
This talks about the return of our Lord Jesus

Christ, “He which testifies these things says,
Surely, I come quickly, Amen, Even so come
Lord Jesus.”
We are reminded of the words of Jesus as he
looked over Jerusalem with great sadness
because His people were unresponsive to the
words of the prophets and to him as he taught
them from the Scriptures. Matt.23:37,
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! The city who kills the
prophets and stones all those who are sent to
her. How often I wanted to gather your
children together, as a hen gathers her chicks
under her wings, yet you were not willing!”
As we talk to people about the Word of God
and His message of hope, we are trying, as
Jesus did, to gather together those who would
listen, to give them the words of salvation. We
echo those words from Revelation ch.22,
“Even so, Come Lord Jesus” is our earnest
prayer.
Ndola ecclesia is continuing to grow spiritu-
ally, and actively participating in spreading
the good news to all members of the
surrounding community. This inspiration
comes from the “The Gospel News” maga-
zine whose spiritually edifying contents from
across the various enlightened brethren and
sisters are motivating factors. Please, if
possible, send me at least six copies of
“Teach Me Thy Way” booklets for use as
teaching aids to my students, and any mate-
rial you may deem necessary in this regard.

At this juncture let me take this opportunity
to express my sincere gratitude to you for the
laborious services you are rendering to so
many brothers and sisters in many countries.
May our Heavenly Father bless the work to
continue until the return of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Enclosed is my photo under meditation
(pictured top of next page). Thank you very
much for the parcel of books which arrived
safely.
