Yesterday our family went to the Chisoka Good Samaritan Baptist Church in the district of Mayaka. It was about 1 hour plus from our home, but most of the travel was on the tarmac road, Praise God! We had about 300 people present, representing several Good Samaritan churches. There were even a couple of pastors from other local churches, Abraham and Evangelical Charasmatic. I have scheduled an appointment with the pastor of the Evangelical church just to find out their doctrinal stand. Sometimes it is hard to see where they are coming from. Andrew Nyenga taught Sunday School, and I preached out of I John 2:25, “The Promises of God”. The basis of my message was that the birth of Christ fulfilled many of God’s promises; Gen. 3:15, Isa. 9:6,7, John 3:16. During the invitation about 40-50 hands were raised to accept God’s Perfect Gift. After we prayed with them, we gave them John/Romans and some tracts. We also answered some of their questions. The church service lasted from 9:30am till 1:30pm. After the church service they presented us with 2 chickens, 5 heads of cabbage, and a meal of nsima and chicken relish. It was more than then had, bless their hearts!
I have attached two photos, one with raised hands for salvation, and the other of the preaching service.
