Through our tract ministry we have come to know a dear brother in Nigeria who shared with us his testimony of God's grace.  He was a Muslim and gloriously saved through reading a tract (not one of ours I must add).  Through his testimony he has been reaching out to friends and family and a very good work appears to be going on here.

He has made a real plea to us for Bibles.....160 in all.  I have been searching for Bibles for him and this has included trying the Bible Society in Nigeria.  We have not been successful at all.  I just wonder if at the conference this need can be made known.  John (our Nigerian brother has said that he is not bothered if they are second hand Bibles so long has they are Bibles.  He does not want just New Testaments but "complete Bibles").

I have just sent him a few Christian books at his request but I wonder if brothers and sisters in Africa could help here.  Susan and I would love to hear if this need could be met through believers somewhere in Africa.

Every blessing in Christ.

A Letter from Kabwata Baptist Church (Lusaka, Zambia)

Monday, August 4, 2008

Dr Simon Mphuka, one of the elders at Kabwata Baptist Church, went to be with the Lord at around 01.00 hours today after a sudden illness that took the whole church by surprise.  Just before my departure for the USA, we had an elders' prayer meeting on Saturday 5th July which ended with breakfast.  Simon shared about his recent failing health.  He had been to see a doctor who found nothing wrong with him and sent him on a week's holiday.  He returned feeling much better but not yet quite himself, he said, and asked for prayer.  On Sunday 6th July, he participated in the prayer times we spend together as church officers before each service and even in the worship services.  After that, on Thursday 10th July I left for the USA only to arrive on the other side of the Atlantic to find that, back home, Simon had been admitted in hospital with an excruciating headache.  That was the beginning of the end. He was never to walk out of hospital again.  One complication led to another until, having been evacuated to South Africa for further treatment, he entered the immediate presence of God early this morning.  We are all still recovering from the shock!

That's right! Power Camp 2008 is drawing closer! This year's Camp will be held from Friday, 22 to Sunday, 24 August for all teens aged 13-19 at the Cyara YFC campsite. Logistically it is therefore more suitable for youth in the Gauteng / Northwest Province areas of South Africa.

Our special guest speaker this year will be Josh Mack, pastor at Grace Fellowship Church in Pretoria. Josh is originally from the United States, and holds a doctorate in expository preaching. One of the primary reasons that he and his family relocated to South Africa was to help orphans who have been affected by the HIV endemic. He is married to Marda, and they have six children.

Registration cut off is 17 August 2008.
