MUTARE EVANGELISM REPORT

In a time when God wants us to trust in him more, out of faith we went to different places preaching as God would have directed us. We were encouraged, motivated and made happy by some of the experiences we had this month.

~One other day Brother Tavonga and Brother Blessing boarded a minibus and preached as usual, but the unique thing about this day was that they met a person who hates our preaching in the minibus. When we started preaching, she started accusing them of a lot of sins, she was talking about cultism and also that we use juju to sleep with people. As she was speaking, they started denouncing her to a point where the driver stopped the bus but she had converted many to her side. Though almost everyone was against them they felt a great joy in us.

~At one point as we had gone out for our street evangelism we preached and no one received Christ. At times when no one receives Christ at evangelism the devil makes it seem as if all of our efforts are in vein. However, a certain young man followed us one day after we had preached and this made us to see that God has been working. The young man was encouraged when Br Tavonga preached and he promised to come to church. This is one of those moments that we understood that we are following a trustworthy God.

~Reverend Nyika said, "Matambudziko amuchasangana nawo matorei semafuta ekuzora." and this is now what we have grown to realize that if we don't take "kumukirwa / Uprising" "semafuta ekuzora / as anointing" we won’t preach. There was a time we went to preach at a certain bus terminus and almost everyone there started making noise criticizing our preaching but instead of being enraged some of us were actually smiling. This seems to be a trend now at most of the spots we preach.  Sometime ago as we were preaching and we saw a vendor who always criticizes us but when he spoke against us that day a certain lady rebuked him for acting in this manner.

 

~One day Mr and Mrs Matingwina boarded a lift. Mrs Matingwina started preaching and there were 2 men who started shouting at her saying why didn’t you ask us first and grant you permission to preach to us. They tried to block her while she was preaching.

To their surprise in the bus there was a lady who was annoyed with these two men’s actions. She then said to them why can’t you just listen to the word but they continuously fought. Mr Matingwina took over the preaching and rebuked them.

~Brother Tavonga also boarded 3 lifts and managed to preach even though other people went against him. He remembered the sermon whereby God said sometimes boarding many lifts is an opportunity to spread the gospel.

We thank God for the life he has given us of evangelism because there is not a day where Mutare youth doesn't experience the power of God and we thank God for "kurarama muchiporofita / Fulfilling Prophecy."
