NEWS FROM BROTHERS & SISTERS

growing tremendously and transforming lives of many believers who have strongly believed in our teachings, so the hand of God is upon us. But the brothers have faced challenges because of following our faith.

As the Ecclesia is growing I as a leader (brother) have come across various hardships faced by our brothers and sisters in Christ. The brothers and sisters who have joined our church from other churches have been hit by different emotional stress which in turn would affect

their spiritual health later on the health of the church. The brothers and sisters were under bursary support in their churches as well farm inputs which were given to them.

I am very thankful for the tireless work you do in bringing the Truth to the multitudes of the world through many ways, one of which is by writing and printing scriptural pamphlets and books, Bible Basics being the most widely circulated. As I wrote a month ago, I received two cartons of recently published "Mfundo Zoonadi Zenizeni Za Bukhu Lopatulika" which is a translation of Bible Basics into Chichewa. Thank you very much and may the good Lord bless you for the wonderful saving work you are doing.

A few years ago it was possible for C.A.T. to buy a few baby goats for some brethren. Looking back, a few made a success of this project, for others it did not work out so well. The picture shows Bro. Austin Nyirenda's goats which have provided him with milk, meat and manure for his garden – as well as eating garbage. At the present C.A.T. is no longer financing this project.

Thanks a lot for providing us with the magazine, Bible Basics, the New Testaments NEV, The Real Christ, The Real Devil and now the complete English language NEV Bible.

"The Real Devil" is a really helpful book which starts from the history of the idea of Satan. It made me understand the satan in the book of Job and I have now come to the conclusion that the satan in this book were the friends of Job. Also according to Job 42:7-10, after Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite were forgiven by Job and did what Yahweh told them to do was the time that Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.

I have started my preaching program alright. Today I was at New Gift Private School where all went well. I started with Noah and the Ark to compare it with the days in which we are living. I want to inform you that due to the devaluation of kwacha by 49% means that I can get a good Bike at 30Kw.

NEWS FROM MALI
