Maposa village meetings

A report by Bro. Jesse M. Nzima

The village has a population of about a 150 people. It is located 3KM west of Chatama village (were our crusade was held last October). We made arrangements to visit the village a week ago through a brother there who got saved at the crusade. Our meeting started at 2:30pm in the afternoon and ended at 8:30pm. Bro Sonyezani told me that during the crusade after he got baptised he saw something in his spirit telling him that the crusade work would also extend to his village. He told me that he had seen this day coming. Then yesterday he told me that he had a feeling that the meeting would take longer than planned and for sure it did as we were supposed to have a 2 hour meeting but it turned out be a 4 hour one. One of the major problems the people in the villege face which we strongly touched on was that of alcoholism.

Children listening attentively

The word touched a lot of people and many came surrendering to the Lord to touch  them. They wanted to start living right and to put their homes in order. It was a wonderful time of fellowship. The beer parlour was closed and all the young men were sober and were able to listen to the word. Women were grateful to the Lord  that for the first time the little village was quieter and the beer parlour was un operational.

A makeshift shelter that two of our new brothers put up in the village.

We praise the Lord for the wonderful work. One man came sincerely explaining that he was brought up in a Christian atmosphere but when he settled in the village he started drinking. He came requesting for prayer for him and his wife. We encouraged him from Psalms 1; telling him that no man can be victorious spiritually  without being regulary found in the right atmosphere of fellowship.

Village elders

We further encouraged him that there was no problem too great for the Lord to solve. The Lord instead gives us an open invitation to let him help us;

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17
