University of Zimbabwe Quarterly Evangelism Report

JULY TO OCTOBER

The University evangelism team has been actively sharing the Gospel with students, workers, bus drivers, vendors and conductors. We also thank God for the preaching points we have managed to establish, which are the university bus terminus, the entrance of the University Chapel, Chicken Inn which is on Campus and in hostels. We also preach on school buses and mini buses that we border from the University bus terminus. This report highlights some of our experiences.

We thank God this semester he gave us another labourer to help with the great harvest. Brother Trust who joined us after completing his high school.

There was a day when Brother Takudzwa Machingura was preaching at the school bus terminus, a young man passed by on his way to the toilet, he thought that upon his return he would find Takudzwa done with preaching. To his surprise he came back and Takudzwa was still preaching. When brother Takudzwa finished preaching, the young man approached him and asked him how masturbation was a sin? He went on further to confess that he needed assistance as he was struggling with masturbation and then he received Christ.

One other day when brother Trust was preaching two students in their first year came to listen to the preaching. On another day when brother Takudzwa was preaching in the dormitory quad two people received Christ. On a separate occasion, after evangelism one young man came and encouraged the preachers to continue with the good work.  

At one point when Brother Trust was preaching in the boys’ hostel called NC3, some people mocked him from the windows, but some responded with Amens whilst others clapped. Brother Munopa too faced the same negative energy when he was evangelising at Chicken inn and they said to him “you are not allowed to preach here.”

In a nutshell, we have had amazing experiences during evangelism this quarter. God has forced us into having experiences that we would have never chosen to have. but because of this we have experienced spiritual growth. All the negativity we faced never stopped us from peaching but it actually helped us to stand firm and not to be ashamed of the Gospel.

We are grateful for our Captain for always guiding us and to the Holy Spirit for leading us in this great work. We look forward to continuing to share the Gospel around our campus.
