DISCIPLE MAKING MOVEMENTS MISSION ACTIVITIES HELD 4TH TO 13TH MARCH, 2015

“DISCIPLE MAKING MOVEMENTS MISSION ACTIVITIES HELD 4TH TO 13TH MARCH, 2015 –SALIMA MALAWI”

What have I learnt during the fruitful and important mission’s activities at Chipoka, Namanda and Thavite? I personally learnt to communicate better with others and that having enough translated DMM pamphlets in time before the training and registration fees are processed would be helpful.

I chose to focus on the good and not the weaknesses: We all have a love and passion for God’s work, we must choose to focus on the good, on what is lovely, what is praiseworthy. PHILL 4:8.

What we wished to achieve during the March, 2015 seminar

were:

To train Leaders who want to be a part of the Disciple making movement

· Casting Vision

· How to make disciples

· Strategy to multiply

· How to move forward

The total leaders who have been equipped to become disciple makers were 154. We challenged each participant to go out and make 10 disciples in 6 months. So hopefully we will have 1,694 in half a year! All the leaders benefitted a lot from the leadership skills that you shared with them. There are also requesting that you come back to Malawi.

The fellowship we had of the Lord’s Supper together has left a lasting impact in people’s memories.

The below pictures are from the farewell and gift exchanging activities held at HHA’s buildings on 13thMarch.

SOME POINTS TO THANK AND PRAISE GOD:

1. I thank God for good work relationships with our counter-parts [Pastor Johan Lourens, Pastor Mike Sheffield, Johan Bloem, Pastor Geoffrey Mputa and all local Pastors for your extra efforts in doing His work.

2. We thank God for the continued prayer support we had received from individuals.

3. Praise God for the vision to help people understand the Evangelism Biblical approach.

4. Praise the Lord, by the grace of God the 154 local DMM leaders had been equipped to be multipliers and producers.

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Pray that God will help these leaders to hopefully train 1,540 others in their various communities.

2. Pray for the work of DMM translator’s in translating pamphlets of [KUMWAMBA, IMA, BWERERA,MPATA and PEMPHERA] and adequate funds for paying the bills.

3. Please pray that God will provide a reliable means of transport.[ could be 1 pick-up vehicle or mini bus . We have found that this is the greatest need.]

4. Please, also pray that DMM will grow by multiplying disciples and numbers, and will catch the vision of sowing the seeds [Words of God MARK 4: 14-20, LUKE 8:4-9

5. Pray for consistent technology resources and back-up facilities.

6. And pray for those who will be using the DMM materials accordingly after follow up in 3 weeks to come.

7. Please, also pray for leaders to emerge, leading more teams and groups to establish DMM among the unreached and make them disciples.

May the good Lord bless you all!

THE IMPACT OF THE 64th CROSS SIGN PROJECT-SALIMA MALAWI.

THE IMPACT OF THE 64th CROSS SIGN PROJECT-SALIMA MALAWI.

Greetings from Malawi! Please, pray for us and our ministry’s vision and objectives.

Thanks and blessings always and lots of love. We are having a very good time in the presence of our CROSS sign in my community. And we are really blessed and we want to thank you Pastor Bill and your ministry.

How can God manifest Himself and help us in our daily lives? We need to understand God’s presence in our hearts. Many people don’t know how the CROSS of Jesus can give them a great help while looking at it.

The Cross of Jesus Christ gives us forgiveness of sins, holiness, divine healing, liberation from curses, and the grace of eternal life in heaven. If only we believe in Jesus Christ who died on the Cross; we could enjoy good health, and all many go well with us, even as our soul is getting along well; we would have life to the fullest.

. We always ask God to directing us where we can go and sow the seeds to already prepared fertile soil [the hearts]. We hope that in every three months God is going to work in us and another baptism ceremony will be in the end of July. Join us in prayers. God bless you all

Pictures 1-3 reminding you how the Cross Planting Project was taking place. Dedicated ministry team plus other missionaries from RSA joined us during Cross planting project. Three different churches have been shown an interest to have their own Cross on their church premises because they have inspiration in into their hearts with 64th Cross. People surrounding the eight locations are able to declaring their faith openly through the 64thCross.

Pictures 4-6 above are for the Holy Communion’s ceremony which was conducted by Brother Johann assisted by our ministry secretary Mr. Hyman. Cross Planting Project was ended up with a celebration and blessed Holy Communion sacrament to remembering the death our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross.

7-8 pictures part of congregation ready to leave our ministry premises heading to the Lake Malawi. Picture 9 is a line-up of the baptism candidates and picture 10 baptism ceremony resumed. This is the testimony that, the Holy Spirit is at work, Jesus is winning many souls. These are part of 27 wonderful baptism candidates conducted by myself on 20th April, 2014 despite the fact that the Lake was rough but we had a good time.

“For us the real measure of evangelism, Bible study trips, or the Cross sign testimony, is not only the numbers [64 planted Cross] or numbers that attended on baptism ceremonies or study activities. But the most important point is how many end in the churches and in the Kingdom of God through the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross?”

Dear ministry Colleagues.

Lovely greetings from Pastor Jackson Dimba and church planting team members.

Our burdens are on the center of multiplying churches and making more effective productive Disciples! “GOD’S HEARTBEAT IS IN LOST SOULS” WHAT EXCITING MINISTRY WE ALL HAVE”!!!!

We have a burning vision and a goal to plant a new church amongst unreached villagers with the Gospel of love. its name is Gwirize village. We are now obeying God’s plan to plant a new church at Maganga in Salima District.

The village has been identified after we had finished praying and fasting. The village is surrounded by 22 villages, and with 19,000 population, 5 existed churches plus many traditional beliefs. My statistic shows that there are many Orphans, widows, girls early marriages between at age of 14. Addition to that, there is highly unemployment rate.

We are happy to serving God. Therefore, I am pleased to share with you the below church planting from 16 to 22nd of June 2016. Therefore, you can choose any items which you feel God would be glorified through you...[1] 4 ministry’s tents[2] One set of Public address systems (PS) [3] one car van for accommodation during outreaches could be already used ones. The local leaders have contributed some food stuff to cover for the whole 5 days, worth $50.00 any donation is very timely and many activities during the church planting will motivate us. So your prayers and tents and others items to help in form of tents, PS are highly needed. A team is very hungry for success.

.

Thanks in anticipation

God bless you.

FOR UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS- AFRICA REGION

Dear Ministry Partners!

I write to share with you what is happening in my current ministry catchment areas. I would like to tell you that there are still more unreached people groups with our Gospel of Jesus which is full of love and salvation.

I am out since last week Wednesday just to conduct evangelism and Discipleship training. The activities are promising results, we have seen people accepting Jesus Christ for their first time in their lives. But 95 per cent are still resistance to receive the care of our Lord, and some are rejecting the Words of God because of their background beliefs.

I am requesting your strong fasting prayers because are asking God to show us 5 dedicated coverts so that we can plant a church of God into their village. so far we have received 2 families. As a result, we have added number of days to be in this hard villages called GWIRIZE.

See my data attached file. I which I did in 3 months ago.

THANKS IN ANTICIPATION,

God bless you all.

Yours faithfully,

Jackson Dimba.
