Dear Brethren,
We want to first of all thank each one of you for remembering our ministry in Kabanana and Lusaka in your prayers.  The Lord has been very faithful to us and the work here.  We have been seeing the Lord’s work slowly expanding in so many ways.  We do know that we are only equal to the task when brethren like you are spending time in prayers for us and on our behalf.  Please, pray for the following items:

Pray for our forth coming activities in the month of March.  The youths will be having their youth seminar on the 12th march which is the youth day on the church calendar as well as a national youth holiday.  We will be inviting some youths in our community to be part of this gathering.  We have asked brother Baleni Collins Dube a leader from our sister church in Johnlengn within Lusaka to speak.  You will do well to remember him in prayers and all the logistics needed to prepare for the event.

Hope ministry will also be having a day. On this day the ministry will be taking its members for VCT in the morning, which will be followed by interaction time with snacks in the afternoon at the home of the Williamsons’.  We will value your prayers as this sensitive exercise will be taking place.  Most of the guardians to the members of this ministry do not attend or belong to our church, hence we would not want any thing to be said which might end up effecting our church work in Kabanana site and service. Pray for hope ministry and the people leading its operations who happen to be Megan, Katryn, Maureen and my wife Fanny.  The work involved in this ministry is very hard and sensitive especially, where our church is located, being in the heart of the townships.
Please remember in your prayers our brother and regular attendee Mr. Victor Lesa who lost his uncle two weeks ago and has lost yet another uncle this week. The month of February seem to be tough for the family.  You should also remember his family who has not been attending church for over a month now. I have been visiting them to encourage them to be found in Gods presence and not to neglect fellowship but to no avail.  So please, remember this family, the son Jack, the wife Gertrude especially.

Join us in thanking the Lord with us for the wonderful ministry of the Word delivered last Sunday by a visiting preacher brother Prince Nawa a missionary Leader of a new Kabwata Baptist church plant in the western province of Zambia called Kaoma.  We were very happy to have Mr. Nawa and his family in our church last sunday.  On our behalf, please remember to pray for Kaoma Reformed Baptist Church as the church is being planted.

I am helping our church understand the role of a church member in the Sunday afternoon services, as we plan to constitute membership at Faith Baptist church this April.  For your own information our church will be having its third anniversary, hence a right time to be constituted.  Please, pray for us to continue growing in grace and knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
The youths have increased in number, especially males.  We have received about four boys of whom I am meeting for talks concerning their salvation.  They where all brought to church by their fellow youths.  Our concern is on the girls who have started showing strange attitudes towards the youth meetings.  Pray for these girls - that the Lord would convict them.  Please join me in prayers as I engage myself into helping the church to lead holy lives.
This is all for now.  May the good Lord be with you all. Amen!

Yours in Christ service
