December 2025 Mission Report from Nhamo and Brenda Mumba

Dear Brethren.  

Greetings to you all in Jesus’ name. I hope this report finds you all doing well.  It is hard to believe that we have come to an end of 2025. We had so many things that changed in 2025. Our families often change during a year -sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse.  Siblings can continue to fuss and fight, wanting their own way.  But families can grow as we welcome children and grandchildren in our lives.  Above all we just want to thank God for sailing us through.  

PRISON MINISTRY

During the first week of December brother Mukuze and I visited Nyazura farm prison twice.   Every time we visit there, we begin with prayer then with simple Bible study.  This time after a Bible study I saw many inmates raising their hands asking different questions.  I was happy because the Lord helped us to answer all the questions we were being asked.  But some inmates find it hard to believe that they can be forgiven their sins. May you please kindly continue praying for this ministry that many souls will be saved.

DOOR TO DOOR KNOCKING.

On the 2nd week my wife and I revisited Chipunza village where we knocked several homes sharing the gospel.  In some homes the welcome was not well as many people were busy working in their fields.  But we want to thank God that among the few people whom we met they paid a close attention as we shared the gospel with them.  In some homes we could just drop a Bible tract with our contact number.  

LADIES WORKSHOP

On the 3rd week there was a 3-day ladies’ workshop at our church.  The workshop included some women in the village community.  My wife was the guest speaker where she taught lessons from the book of Proverbs 28. She encouraged women to start some projects in order to generate some funds and be able to support their families.  But the most challenge is that many of the women in the village are very poor and find it hard to get some money and start projects

THE STATE OF GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS IN ZIMBABWE

Many people in Zimbabwe are losing lives due to poor services.  Many patients get sent away from hospital with nothing more than a prescription and a shrug forcing families-many of them already impoverished - to scramble for some money to buy medicine privately or pay for tests at private laboratories.  As a result, many or thousands of Zimbabweans are losing their lives not because death was inevitable, but because the state is failing to provide what is needed to keep the alive.

DEATHS

On the 3rd week of December, we witnessed several funerals in our village community where my wife attended nearly 4 of them. I had opportunity to preach on these funerals, and I thank God that two families are now coming to church as a result of my preaching. Pray that the Lord will open their hearts as we are studying with them the word of God.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE/PREACHING AND GIVING

I preached three Sundays and taught adult Bible class for one Sunday.  Brother Zumbika preached one Sunday whilst brother Ndikudze taught Bible class for three Sundays.  Our average church attendance was 28 to 33 every Sunday.  Our giving averaged 15 USD every week.

PRAYER REQUESTS

• Pray for our mission work and my family.  In 2025 we saw the hand of the Lord though the journey was not so easy.  
• Pray for that in 2026 want to continue with the building of baptism tank, painting both our church toilets, the small house at the church.  

My family and I also want to thank you, Brethren, for your sacrificial financial support which made our work possible.  May the Lord bless all your labor richly in the coming year.  

Wishing you all a wonderful blessed good New year.

In Christ,

Nhamo and Brenda Mumba
