Report from Sim Gail

"Brethren - Today on 11th of August 2020 I had the opportunity to go out and spent the day in villages reaching out to the lost... at the same time edifying the saints to be strong during this time of covid 19 pandemic. Today I met a number of Christian families...Many Christians here are confused with this covid 19 and are very much devastated. But I am happy that they are eager to Look to God for eternal life. I loved this day because toward the end of it 3 souls believed the gospel and were baptized for the remission of their sins. Brother Innocent Mureedzani helped them to obey the command of baptism. Thank you for your prayers and your continued support.
May God bless you all.
Unworthy Servant,

LUKE 17:10 " So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, we are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do."
My attitude: Try to be happy with the little that you have. There are many people with nothing that still manage to smile."

Work report SILENCE CHIRAMBA on Wed, Sep 2, 2:31 PM
"Day well Spent at Mushandike and Matihwa having bible study on Luke:17:11-19.
We learn from Luke 17:15 that this man returned and glorified God with a loud voice. Surely he spoke loudly because of his gratitude which he expressed excitedly. This man realizes the value of the wonderful gift he has just received The man was so overjoyed that he fell down on his face at Jesus' feet and gave thanks.
If we go to the book of II Kings 5:15 we see another good example.
...Jesus then asked But where are the nine? (Luke 17:17) The ones who did not return had stood the test of faith, but they failed in the test of thanksgiving. Sadly, many today follow the example of the nine. They are more ready to ask for blessings than to thank God for the ones they receive and enjoy.
After studies manage to visit few homes preaching Christ."
