Chambwe A/G Church Plant

A new church was planted about 30 kilometers from Lilongwe, Chambwe A/G.  Fredna and I were invited to speak at this important event.  It began with preliminary door to door evangelism during the week.  There was children’s ministry on Saturday, and the JESUS film was shown on the soccer pitch Saturday night.  Sitting outside at night in Africa watching the JESUS film, along with hundreds of people is quite an experience.  Every eight seconds, somewhere in the world, another person indicates a decision to follow Christ after watching the "JESUS" film.  It is an incredible tool of evangelism used around the world.  We are so very fortunate to have the equipment and the means to be able to travel into the villages and use this tool.

On Sunday morning, we met in the local school for the very first service of Chambwe Assembly of God.  Rev. Lucy Chikoko has been named as pastor, and she is very excited to embark upon this new chapter in her life.  There were about 60 people present for first service including 13 local Chiefs.  Each village has a chief, and each group of villages have a Group Headman.  These Chiefs were happy to have a new church plant in their area because “a church will help the people”.

After the service we gathered in a nearby house for the traditional Malawi meal of chicken, greens, nsima, and tomato sauce.  After the meal, two ladies came wanting prayer for physical problems.

It was a great week for a church plant – Chambwe Assemblies of God!
