August 2022 Mission Report from Nhamo and Esther

Dear Brethren

We send our warm greetings to you all in Jesus name. We hope that our report finds you all in good health. Its now summer season after a long cold winter season.            

EVAGELISM WORK

Our evangelism work is mainly on door to door knocking. On the first two weeks of August, 2022 we knocked at several houses in Magamba extension. In most houses we knocked the welcome was good. Some of the people we met did also invited their friends to come and hear the gospel. Please pray that the Lord may open more people's hearts to the gospel.

BAPTISM

We are happy to inform you during the month in view two souls surrendered their lives to the Lord and were baptized. These are young women namely Chipo Maganga, 23 and Linda Tsapo, 24 both are working as soldiers for Zimbabwe National Army. As i write this these two ladies had been deployed to Chirundu boarder post next to Zambia. I talked to a fellow preacher who reside in Kariba to get in touch with these ladies.

REFRESHER COURSE AND MEN'S LECTURESHIP

During the month in view there are two main events that were held. The first was was a refresher course for all preachers which was done at Mutare School of Preaching (MSOP) and then men's lectureship which was held at Nhowe Mission which one of the institution for church of Christ. It was unfortunate that I failed to attend all two events due to my wife who is not feeling well and was not able to take care of the kids. But I am told that the two events went very with good attendance.

BIBLE STUDY

On the third week of August, 2022 we had several Bible studies with our prospects in their homes. We were much impressed to see that some of these prospects enjoyed the studies.

VISTING THE SICK

On the 4th of August, 2022 we made a two day visits to the sick both for our members and other sick elderly people in our community. We read them some encouragement Bible verses, sing and pray for them. 

CURRENT SITUATION IN ZIMBABWE

We want to thank God for the peace we have as a nation. It is our prayer that we want this kind of peace to be seen next year as the country will be going for some elections.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE/PREACHING AND GIVING

I preached throughout the whole month and taught Bible class. Our average attendance for the August, 2022 was 16 and our giving was US $20.

PRAYER REQUESTS

Thank you all for those whose been praying for my wife Esther. She is now feeling much better. She is now left with only two check ups this month. She was diagnosed with sugar diabetes which she will be now living with on medication. So continue to uplift her in your prayers. 
Please pray also for our mission work for guidance, wisdom as our nation is still facing some economic challenges as well the drought situation.
