HARARE ASSEMBLY EVANGELISM REPORT

DATE: DECEMBER 2024

In this last Quarter of the year, God made us understand what being spiritually mature means: Accepting the life we have been given by God. Hereunder, we give but a brief summary of the lives we have lived, that continue the book of the Acts of the Apostles.

·       Mai John was told by God to preach to everyone who would be employed at the Deli where she works. As a result of spiritual maturity, she didn’t hesitate but preached faithfully to all that were employed. Some would work for one day and resign, others a few hours and still others for a week but every single one of them would leave after hearing the word of God from her mouth! Some of the people who persecuted her were fired while others were imprisoned. Due to the nature of her workplace, she preached to different nationalities: Philippines, Nigerians, Koreans, African Americans etc. It is now normal for her to meet people who address her as “woman of God.” They will have heard her preaching at Belgravia Shops, an upscale shopping center in Harare.

·       Mhlanga and Chiwade were dragged to court by their indefatigable opponent Anderson Matibiri. Earlier in the year, they had been led to preach every time they would go to court. However, all this time they had not realized that they were on a Crusade – a crusade service that started from the moment they got in a vehicle to the court and ended when they disembarked from the vehicle that brought them back. But as their case drew to a close, they accepted the life of preaching they were being given by God. The result? They were led to preach at the DDF offices, where numerous elderly people were sitting, after they had finished their routine Evangelistic service at the court. More than 25 people came back to God!

·       Mbare Musika Crusade started with a bang this Quarter! It burnt down to ashes. Mr. Kaumbembe had preached there since June of this year. On the 8^th of October, many people woke up to see the shock of their lives as millions of dollars’ worth of goods went up in smoke. If they had accepted the Word, still the fire would have taken place but their lives would be in God’s hands. As a display of His great power and love, Mr. Kaumbembe’s side of the market was left untouched – just like a modern-day Goshen, where the Israelites had lived before they started the Exodus to Canaan!!

·      Chinyanga was led by God to preach at a particular venue this Quarter. Just before the start of this Quarter, this location had promised that it would be a place where the Gospel would be persecuted. However, Chinyanga went there throughout the Quarter. One time, after he had denounced the sins of robbing and prostitution, the men who would sometimes oppose them came forward and confessed that they made a living through robbing people and that the women that would be there were con-artists.

·       Mrs. Kaumbembe went into a certain kombi / Minibus, one day, and God told her to sit on the third seat. She obeyed and then preached the word of God. Three people accepted Christ, of the three, one then started to preach. At first, Mrs. Kaumbembe thought the man was just trying to make fun of her but as he continued, she realized that it was the move of the Holy Spirit and that he was being genuinely used by God. He preached about the Second Coming of Christ and when Mrs. Kaumbembe got out of the Gospel, he was still preaching. It was so powerful!!

·       At Damofalls Preaching Point, the Crusaders who preached there faced persecution this Quarter. On one occasion, Mrs. Chipfupi was assaulted by a furious prostitute who did not like her message. On another occasion, a man in a vehicle nearby who had been listening to Mr. Chipfupi, another Crusader, drove closer and started asking him questions but Mr. Chipfupi was not fazed and kept on preaching! Another remarkable incident is when the Crusaders met a former St. Thomas Prison inmate who sat and listened to them preach. Afterwards, he told them he had lost contact with our St. Thomas Prison team which had preached in there earlier this year. What is so remarkable is that the man identified, not the people who were preaching, for none of them were at St. Thomas Prison, but he identified the Gospel!! 

·       We are also proud of our UZ and Telone students this Quarter for they were able to invite the Man of God to their schools so he could preach to their fellow students.
