THE FIRST EVER BIBLE COLLEGE SEMESTER IN MALAWI

May was a month that past so fast,looking buck thinking it was just a dream. Well, our Bible college semester has ended it was such a wonderful thing to see 80% of our students that begun with us finish well. This past semester was a way of us introducing ourselves and what we stand for. Throughout the semester we continued to uphold the ethics of the Bible College to condone with the settings as derived from following pattern. This semester has been the first ever in this country,during the winter break we've continued to offer an extra credit class ABD revelation,the response is lovely.
IT'S TIME FOR BENEDICTION 



YOUNG MEN FOOTBALL TEAM

Mid April all the way up we begun a young people's football team we have been meeting on weekend for training this is a grace tool for ministering eternal ever true words that are powerful to change people. Above the physical training the center of it all is Christ. As a coach our emphasis is team work as every joint  supplies. Last week we played with the elderly men in the Church we took a head start by scoring 3 goals then they came swiftly in the dying minutes and overrode us. It was impressive to see the young men not getting emotionally vexed also the laughter and joy that came with it
because it is all centered on body life as Pastor Chris Arman beautifully summarized it during the devotion right after the game!. Thank you all for you prayers love and support as we continue to grow vertically and then Horizontally!


THE JOURNEY,FELLOWSHIP,JOY AND THE CONFERENCE


The last three months have being great, April we did a tour to Zambia as Greater Grace church in Malawi, the experience was great the life exchange during the conference was necessary for us Malawians been the first time. From the theme of the conference all the way through was refreshing urging as to go forward on this mission field of which so far we are 6 months ongoing. The night before our departure buck was great, Pastor Schibelli encouraged us a lot about the value of walking in the vision embracing the big picture. During the last week of August we were graced by the visit of Pastor Brown and Pastor Uncle Bernard it was awesome raps,bible college,spiritual insight.

SEASONED BY GRACE

Church Service with Pastor Brown

Rap with Pastor Renaldo and Pastor Nkhoma

Here we are at  the Post Office Mobilising before soul wining

Early March we received family members from the church in Zambia: Pastor Renaldo Brown and Pastor Nelson,it was an awesome week. Arrangements were made in such a way that both of our Zambian pastors had a tight schedule with us and they got the taste of our daily field experience here. We had raps after church and soul-wining; the response from the men in the church so far was so good; our expectation is God! Seasoned with grace, iron sharpens iron; our Malawian brothers and sisters were indeed excited to have our family guests, which is a great sign for them that they are part of a huge family. Also during the raps people received clarity that they needed, narrating to them that this ministry is glad to be here and here to stay. Over the free Bible school, people are still surprised that it is free!.God is doing a lot behind the scenes and on the ground through in-reach and outreach. We spend time with different families getting to know people, building relationships, and feeding unity. As we work on the mapping system, we plan to do door knocking evangelism in one of the areas close to the Church. Saturday we have the entire bible college in teams after the video class Methods of Evangelism to make it practical. WHAT A MIGHTY GOD! HE SERVES US! TO HIM BE THE GLORY. Thank you for your prayers.

As GRACE Guides us in Order

February has been a time of putting things in place both Church and Bible College. Now we have a structured routine, our tracts are intact, and the address is permanently set. February 9th we begun our first bible college in this country,being the first to teach a class it was such a joyous experience; over 40 student attend. Now that the semester is in motion we still are daily receiving calls from people that want to register, but since our Bible school registration ended people must wait until August. We continue to point them to August intake. After Evangelism Saturday noon we have a Judo class with the young men,these men in the neighbourhood are so happy to have Church at their door step.

GRACE LIFE IN MALAWI

 Malawi Mission Field! Grace initiations are just worth talking about! Late December just when we moved here I got awakened to thee divine realities that the moving of a team from one country to another is somehow similar to as when a church moves to a new location "somehow". Each time I paused in my mind as I gaze upon the team I say to my self this is the church. As we walk in a pattern it is amazing to realize that in the beginning of a new church anyone that comes in finds order and gleans to that which they get to find ,our team leader is a man of consistency and it is such a wonderful thing to learn from him. In January Pastor Chris Arman's Mother in Law, Sylvie, graced us by being around and being in the team schedule; it was WONDERFUL!
