Zimbabwe Preachers

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. Week 2 (Men’s Meetings) – 26th: Nzungu – Men’s meeting: “Building a Godly Man” (1 Timothy 5:8), discussing the role of men in guiding their families. – 26th: Nzungu (Youths) – Lesson on challenges affecting today’s youth. – 27th: 22 Miles – Men’s meeting: “An Ideal Father and Husband,” addressing challenges and solutions. – 28th: Bhiridhasi – Repeat of the men’s meeting lessons. – 29th: Chipendeke 2 – Same lessons for men. – 30th: Gutaurare – Repeat of the men’s meeting lessons. – 31st: Piki – Visit to the saints.

Observations during the months: These challenges faced by Men are a result of peer pressure from the community and family members often leads to abandoning their faith. Some men face challenges from their working children who don’t visit them.

Sermons and Lessons: I heard several lessons on marriage, divorce, and remarriage, and sermons on staying righteous in an ungodly world. I also taught and preached on Sundays.

Financial Report: Charlestown $1350 food Charlestown $100 support Charlestown $100 Kennedy Mavhiza 25th $400 support Centerville $500 support – Budget Installation of WiFi: $420 (paid $250) (if you need discussions or anything feel free to contact me it’s now cheaper).

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.
