Beginning of the BLCC Blog

This weekend, 14th-16th September, we have had a team of two people at Chikwaka, giving discipleship, a team of four at Welstone doing point of need ministry, and a team of three people at Hwange visiting all the places there for whatever ministry is needed.

We have already heard from the Chikwaka team that although the numbers were disappointing, the ministry went well. The team was Mr Liberty Zinhara (leader), and Franciscar Madzingaidzo. We have agreed that next visit in October we must go back to doing point of need ministry and perhaps another Seminar before going on with discipleship.

At Welstone, the team was Mrs Pelagia Masuku (leader), Collen Makeche, Alphonse Bhunu, and Charity Muronzi.

At Hwange, the team are there for three or four weeks; they are Mr Shadreck Makore (leader), Mr Constantine Gomo, and Mr Joe Jumpa. They are doing the rounds of all the BLCC groups in the Hwange area, including Victoria Falls.

Joe Jumpa has left his job with Hwange Game Park and we have asked him to be BLCC Promoter of Ministries in the Hwange area. We have helped him start a project for the support of his family and himself, and we will send him something each month to supplement that project.

In BLCC, we are committed to the work of evangelizing. We are prepared to evangelize in the church, the whole of God’s church, wherever this is still needed and the way is open to us, and in the world.

Mrs Masuku has now come and has reported that at Welstone they visited 17 homes and shared and prayed for people according to their needs as well as for others who came directly to Aunty Patti’s place, including Aunty Patti herself.

To give one example, a woman arrived, dragging herself along, barely able to walk. When her husband had died she had been sent away from her husband’s family in a way that told her they did not want to see her again. When the team prayed for her for this and for her physical condition she began to walk normally and could hardly believe that she was walking about like this.

Another example: at one house they found a man all huddled up; his wife had died and two of his children had died and he was always sick and was expecting to die. The team shared with him and prayed for him and he began to feel better. He even started walking and went off to tell other people what had happened to him; he told them they should receive these people well that had prayed for him.
