Strongholds:
1. Immorality

Needs:
Two brothers have volunteered to cycle to Liwesa every weekend until we ground the Church with true faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. This weekend of June 6th to 8th, 2003 some bicycles have been borrowed for their use. We are organising food for them.

The name of the Church is Ebenezer Liwesa PAOG(Z). Please continue to pray for us and we need your usual support as we labour together in His Vineyard. Submitted by Pastor Golden Mawale.

Praise God for His protection! During the travels with the team, I was beginning to get suspicious of weak shocks on my vehicle. A trip to the mechanic for a major service has shown that indeed new rear shocks were necessary. I also was wondering about the need for new tires. The mechanic took one look and said, "Definitely you need new tires." He went on to explain that I was fortunate that the police had not been stopping me, as apparently they often do when the tread is less than a match stick head deep. Truly I thank God for that. I really don't like being stopped by the police for ligitimate reasons or otherwise.
