Mazabuka is a small town in the Southern Province of Zambia. The town is surrounded by plantations growing sugar cane and there is a large sugar factory outside of town. Everything seems to revolve around the sugar factory.  

Some years ago in an African country, there was a very high-ranking politician of cabinet rank who was close to the president. This person was a professing Christian and a close friend of mine.

When people criticize you, stop and check whether there is any substance in their criticism. If there is, be humble and correct yourself. If their criticism is unfounded, ignore it and move on. Do not retaliate or defend yourself.

Choma is a small town in an agricultural area in the Southern Province of Zambia, on the road from Lusaka to Livingstone.

Our Africa Team had prepared this crusade in conjunction with the local churches. Our Mobile Bible School had been very well attended, enabling our Team to train a large number of follow-up workers who would disciple new believers after the crusade.

When I had just come out of prison for preaching the Gospel, I began to attend a Baptist church pastored by American Missionary Rev Charles Coleman. Pastor Coleman went home to be with the Lord a few years ago at around 95 years of age.

It was September 1986. This was my first ever Gospel Crusade in Rosario, Argentina.

The field was packed with a massive crowd of people. I got up to preach the Gospel.

I opened my Bible and began to read the Scripture from Psalm 103:1-3:

“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases.”

Maitaneke is a township outside of Mansa in Northern Province of Zambia. The northern province doesn’t have any big cities, but there are smaller towns that are spread out all over the region and they are in dire need of the gospel, because very few people come there to preach. It is a long drive for our team and equipment, and even the flights up to the region are unreliable.

Let me share something personal that has really helped me greatly in my life:
If we sin against God, we repent and make things right with Him. That is quite easy. What is difficult is when we miss the mark in relation to our fellow human beings.

The impartation of the gifts and the anointing of God is a very real and important work of God in the life of every believer.

This is a special issue of our newsletter, because two months from now it will be 50 years since I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior; and then three days later I answered the call of God, leaving everything behind to preach the Gospel.

History has shown us that JESUS, His CROSS, and His BLOOD are the central themes of all revivals and moves of the Holy Spirit.

Revival is not about spiritual manifestations or the anointing on certain preachers, but in true revival ALL things point to Jesus alone.

1. Make a holy covenant with God that you will ALWAYS give Him the glory for every miracle that He does. Glorify HIM and never credit "my faith" or "my anointing.”

Chawama is a township just outside of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. We have been to Chawama before, and saw the Lord do great things there.

"And, being assembled together with them, COMMANDED them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” Acts 1:4,5

Note that our Lord Jesus COMMANDED His disciples not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait until they were baptized with the Holy Ghost.

We all want our children to succeed and do well in life. But always remember this: much more important than their financial, business, or professional success is whether or not they are Saved. We cannot take worldly "success" or the wealth of world with us when we die.
