ZAMBIAN 4-FIELDS DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING IN PETAUKE, EASTERN PROVINCE WITH WALTER CHUUNGA AND TEAM
On December 14 (Tuesday), Ephraim, Bright, and I traveled to Mulila Ng'ombe in Petauke for 4 Fields Discipleship training. We had a wonderful time with two Churches of Christ congregations namely; Kapala and Mulila Ng’ombe.
Thirty-Five (35) people came for the Four-field discipleship training. Our focus was to share the Big Vision and relational map. Bright gave the Four-Fields overview, and I taught. Ephraim translated. After the training, participants were also excited, touched, and amazed by the gospel message. We thanked God for the leadership of Kapala and Mulila Ng’ombe Churches of Christ for allowing us to minister at their congregations.
The venue for our training was Mulila Ngombe Church of Christ, planted in 1985. In the early 1990s, attendance exceeded 500. There was hardly an empty pew. The singing was beautiful. Sadly, due to doctrinal differences, the church got divided. The membership declined to less than 20. In 2016, brother Ephraim Phiri began working with this church. Praise be to God, the church started growing. Today, the church has a membership of 200. Plans to plant 2-3 churches are already underway.
Four fields discipleship helps us to share the gospel message of Jesus Christ to others and teach them how to make disciples; by telling them the story of Jesus Christ in both word and deed. Who Jesus is and how it's possible to have a personal relationship with Him. We used the Four-field discipleship to help them enter into the spiritual journey and discover how God is at work in their lives and the role that they can play in God’s kingdom.
As we left Mulila Ng’ombe, all the participants made an earnest appeal to us – they requested us to schedule another training as soon as possible. Please pray for us as we plan for a return or our second training. Pray for us too that God will use us mightily to advance His kingdom using the four-field discipleship training throughout Zambia and beyond - Eastern province for Jesus!
This morning, Bright and I left for Chipata for Lusaka. We thank God we traveled safely.
AMEN WALTER AND BRIGHT. God is up to something there. Thank You Lord and thank you all involved.
