CHRISTMAS OUTREACH report
OUTREACH
OVERVIEW
Christmas and New Year
festivals are cerebrated in large numbers of people in Africa. In Zambia,
spatially in the villages, big clouds of people gather together to drink and
dance. It is for this reason the Christmas outreach was introduced, using the
influence of the Christian youths to have a great soul harvest.
260 youth
leaders came together for a 2 days training in one to one evangelism on 23 -24th
December. These then where sent back to their areas to lead groups of 24 youths
per each trained youth leader. These came from 260 Churches in 13 areas. The
goal of the Christmas outreach was to win close or more than 500,000 souls
during the Christmas and new year festivals. This was done by sending out 6500
youths in the mission field with a target to win 78 souls each youth in 14
days. Thus each youth had a target of wining 6 souls per day. 13 areas had 20
groups of youths doing evangelism per area.
TRAINING
Pastors giving instructions
on how to evangelize to individuals and groups. Warning them to be careful as
they go out. Many people would be drank and the youths needed to be careful how
to approach such people.
The
outreach begins
Brother Joe Siciila leads
his 24 youths in Mweemba area. He distributes some gospel tracts to his group
as tools to use during the 14 days outreach. It was exciting to see youths as
young as 12 getting involved.
Here in this Church 3
groups were formed and the group leaders are distributing tracts to use during
the 14 days of outreach. These tracts in local language served as bibles. For
only the youth leaders had at list a bible each and the rest had none.
With enough tools in their
hands, they are ready to go and having received instruction how to do it. They
are ready to bite.
It was a
life changing experience to see these young people swarm up beer halls,
markets, shopping places, streets and talking to every individual they could
meet. They knocked at every door and shared the word of God to everyone. Many
of these youths had their first time experience to see people coming to Christ.
This really lifted up their faith.
They went out individually
to win souls at their own time. Some went in pairs but the work was done.
They went into the
villages doing the works of Jesus Christ
As they went, they met a
lot of their fellow Youths and had good time with them. Many of these youths
believed in the Lord and joined the team in spreading the word.
Goats were bought for meat
and Maize meal for nshima (pap). They sat in groups to have meals together.
Parents where there
to cook for the youths. They played a big part in this outreach
This outreach was an eye
opener to both the youths and the Fathers. Nothing is impossible, a mile is
started by just one step. The youths came back rejoicing and declared it can be
done. Every one of them brought back a report on the goals and it was exciting
to see that they scored the targeted number of souls for the outreach. 520,000 souls in 14 Days.
Each Church that
participated in sending a group of youths took responsibility to disciple the
new believers.
The dream now is to have
this kind of outreaches every year not only on Christmas week but every 3
months or 4 months. We can have such an outreach every quarter of the year or
every 3 months. Thus we can have 4 of such outreaches in a year. We live to
bring people to Christ and we want to breathe out that life.
This will make everyone of
the body of Christ to take part in wining souls to Christ. The Church will be
at work.
We feel this is the answer
to the Church in Africa. We have a lot of time to evangelize. If this is the
leading of the Lord to have such outreaches 4 times every year, then let it be
done.
2016 is
the year of doing the works of Christ
God richly bless you.

In mission field of Africa.
This is
the report I received from Albert after the previous post
(http://dejagermw.blogspot.co.za/2015/12/zambia-revival-movement-for-souls.html)
I am
overwhelmed and over joyed by this report and I am looking forward to yet
another very successful year in the field with my family in Zambia. I am
planning several visits to Albert and his teams this year. There are
almost one thousand unreached villages where we trust the Lord to build a
physical and strong church in every one of these villages. The guys are fired
up and impossible to stop! This is God in action!
