10.27.25 – Robert Chinyenze update:

Camping report: Thank you so much for your prayers. The camping went on very well, and we truly felt the Lord’s presence with us. With the help of the local village heads, who played a vital role in mobilizing the community, we were blessed with a large crowd that came to worship and hear the Word of God. Although we didn’t witness any baptisms during the meeting, we are greatly encouraged by the many invitations we received from villagers to visit and teach in their homes. This has opened doors for continued evangelism and follow-up work in the area. We also had quality time with the men of the local congregation, teaching and encouraging them. We spent time with the church as a whole, and visited several saints in their homes, strengthening their faith and praying with them. Our wives did a wonderful job preparing meals and supporting us throughout the camp, making it possible for us to focus on the spiritual work. We thank you once again for standing with us in prayer and encouragement. May the Lord bless you abundantly as we continue together in His service.

Brethren

July report summary– Evangelism & Ministry Activities*

1 Peter 1:17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man’s work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.

18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,

19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

The work went on as below:

4–5 July – Men’s Classes at Matika

We conducted men’s classes at Matika with attendance from several congregations in the area. The sessions focused on spiritual leadership, encouraging and challenging the brethren to rise and serve as strong, godly leaders in their homes and congregations. The discussions were lively and uplifting, with men sharing their struggles and seeking guidance in leadership roles.

8 July – Evangelism at Chitora

We held teaching sessions at Chitora with a small group that local brethren had gathered. Lessons covered important foundational topics such as food,church and baptism, then responded to questions about Sabbath observance. The Lord blessed our efforts—two souls obeyed the gospel and were baptized the same day without delay. We concluded with a visit to brother Dengu, who was unwell, and prayed with him for healing and strength.

15 July – Hospital Visit, We had planned to visit Chipendeke 2, but changed course after receiving the sad news that the *Muchireya family* had lost their twin babies at birth. We visited them in hospital to offer comfort, prayer, and encouragement during their time of grief.

16 July – Visit to Chipendeke 1 / Bhiridhasi

We spent the day visiting the homes of brethren, encouraging them in the faith. The day ended with an afternoon service shared with the local congregation.

17 July – Evangelism at 22 Miles

We visited the brethren at 22 Miles and held an afternoon service. Once again, we rejoiced as two more souls were baptized into Christ.

18 July – Gutaurare & Masibango

Young preachers carried out house visits at Gutaurare, spending time in fellowship and spiritual discussions with families, followed by an afternoon service. Meanwhile, other preachers attended the burial of a faithful sister at Masibango, offering comfort and honoring her faithful walk.

25 July – 22 Miles Visit

We returned to 22 Miles to visit brethren who were unwell, offering prayer and support. We also held another service, and two more individuals obeyed the gospel in baptism—praise be to God.

28 July – Chitora Home Visits We conducted home visits in Chitora, followed by an afternoon worship service to encourage and strengthen the local brethren.

29 July – Evangelism at Chipendeke 2 (Binga Area)

We made the tiring walk to the Binga area since it’s uphill, where strong members of the Chipendeke 2 congregation reside. We held a service at Brother Matsangaise’s home and were encouraged by the steadfastness of the brethren there.

30 July – Chipendeke 1 / Bhiridhasi (Village 4)

We spent the day reaching out to backsliders in Village 4, visiting them personally to encourage their return. The visit concluded with a heartfelt afternoon service. Sundays:

Sermons like looking in God’s mirror James 1:21-25, rebuilding the altar Ezra 3:2-3, wise master builder 1cor 3:10-15, remove the stone John 11:38-39 were preached including different lessons like what causes us to be unfaithful isa5:1-5 modern day prophets vs hbr 1:1, restoring the nt pattern 1cor 4:6. Different men helped in the singing, Lord’s table, giving, prayers and announcemence. Time with the youth was set aside, discussions were held and lessons with the men.

Financial report:

Centreville $500, 25th $400, Charlestown $100, Charlestown $750 Food help

General Observations:

– 22 Miles has shown the strongest response to the gospel this month, with several baptisms and strong participation in services.

– Many households have been affected by flu and cold weather, especially families with children leaving early for school. Despite this, the work has continued with dedication and Joy.

Plans, though the uzumba failed I have two invitations.

Family, flue has been a challenge

Prayer request, our economy, growth of the work both numerically and spiritually, our marriages, children at school.

06.11.25 – Robert Chinyenze update:

Psalms 1:1-6: Our guiding scripture for the month emphasizes the blessings of following God’s law and the consequences of walking in the counsel of the wicked.

Personal Work: Our focus was on imparting basic lessons to the brethren, enabling them to understand, teach, and defend the truth. Key topics included: 1. Baptism: The significance and importance of baptism in the Christian faith. 2. The One Church: The church purchased by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Lessons: Week 1 – 6th-7th: Preacher’s class – I taught alongside other preachers, focusing on equipping brethren with teaching skills. – 12th: Nzungu – Lessons on baptism and the church, followed by counseling sessions for saints facing various challenges. – 13th: 22 Miles – Lessons on baptism and the church, with counseling for a couple struggling with backbiting. – 14th: Chipendeke 1 Bhiridhasi – Lessons on baptism and the church, concluding with a counseling session for an elderly woman. – 15th: Chipendeke 2 – Lessons on the church and baptism, followed by a counseling session. – 16th: Gutaurare – Lessons on baptism and the church, with a counseling session. – 17th: Piki area – Door-to-door evangelism.

Family Update: We’re doing well, with some minor cases of flu in the house due to the cold weather. Prayer Requests: Thanksgiving for Harvest (continued blessings and a better harvest) Economical Situations: ( seeking God’s intervention in the rising prices and economic challenges). – Growth of the Work: praying for the growth and prosperity of the Lord’s work.

05.22.25 – Robert Chinyenze update on his preacher training program. He had about 30 men attend.

As we continue to spread the gospel in the Mutare district we have established numerous thriving congregations and we thought of identifying potential men to help us cover the gaps in caring for the newly established work. This approach involved equipping men to preach and teach, serve as elders and deacons, so these young preachers undergo rigorous training, monitoring, and mentorship, which requires patience, dedication, and long-term commitment. We draw inspiration from the apostle Paul’s relationship with Timothy and Titus, we prioritize nurturing our young preachers with recent lectures which emphasized transparency, accountability, and effective stewardship in our partnerships and also, how they will be good soul winners and by implementing these guidelines, we can foster robust relationships and achieve greater evangelism impact.

Regular classes will deepen these young preachers’ understanding, enabling them to effectively challenge denominationalism. We appreciate your support and love for our evangelism work and pray for continued success and God is good all the times. God bless.

Key takeaways from the lectures includes:

1. Embracing guidelines for effective challenge navigation and evangelism success
2. Demonstrating commitment to responsible stewardship
3. The best way of doing scriptural evangelism that doesn’t violate the New Testament truth.

Thank you for your partnership. We look forward to a continued collaboration and impact. We hope to have a monthly program if we might have resources to care for this noble initiative. God bless.
