Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Thank you for the gifts that keep giving. Much has been accomplished in Zambia, but there is so much more to be done. As we prepared to leave Zambia, every church that we were in laid their hands on us
and prayed for our next step in this ministry. There have been tears of sorrow in leaving but many more
tears of joy because of fruit that remains.
In the Mukuni zone 4 preachers have been elevated to pastor in the last month. I was amazed to see their maturity and abilities to lead and preach, truly gifts from God. Sianjomwa Siamantundi, a proven disciple and church planter, has been called by God to move from Mukuni zone to the Namwalla area to begin training Ila preachers to reach their people.
There are 260 villages to be reached in Chief
Mungaila’s chiefdom alone and 16 other Ila chiefdoms that are still untouched by the gospel.
During our last 2 weeks in Zambia, we worked with Sianjomwa and the believers at Dindi, where he
pastored for 6 years, to build a new brick building for the church; everyone participated. A young
preacher, Abin, will begin to help Friday, leading in the new work in Chief Moyo’s area, and in the new
area of Gwemba valley, a seasoned preacher is moving from Namwambwa to begin training new
preachers to reach their people. There is also a large area southwest of Choma that is asking for
someone to bring the gospel to them. Pray for the young preachers in the Lozi kingdom as Lawrence
Motunga disciples them. We have just purchased 50 study Bibles for the new preachers thanks to a gift
from the Basham Methodist Church.
We
want to thank all of you who have prayed for us during the last 7 years. God has kept us from getting
Malaria and that is a miracle. Some of you may not be able to continue to financially support this ministry
but please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Zambia and for us. We are committed to
continue raising support to help these preachers reach the unreached for the Glory of Christ Jesus the
Lord.
Merry Christmas,
Love,
Joe & Tammy Haden
