On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we traveled into the rural areas to visit some of the different churches. Some small (9) and poor, very rural. Another very rural, grass church structure, vibrant, about 70. And finally, 70 miles to Lizulu and Pastor Samuel with 180 attending. Border town with Mozambique. Vibrant, lots of men! Well taught yet still suffering the “prosperity” virus. I taught the main service and then about 100 remained for another hour teaching on Disciple making.

Today, our HBM Malawi conference drew to a close, marked by a profound sense of community and spiritual growth. Eighteen members of the HBM mission team in Malawi, who are tirelessly making disciples and advancing Christ's Gospel, were in attendance, with 4 others regrettably absent, and we're thankful for the generous support that made this possible, including 200 Bibles, 5 smartphones, and 2 bicycles.

Thank you for your continued support.

ZAMBIA. We have concluded the conference with 42 HBMZ leaders, 2 leaders from Zimbabwe, and 4 from DRC.
HBM CEO, Lawrence Gunnells, built camaradarie, unity of mission, and a deeper love and appreciation for one another. The Gospel of Grace was emphasized. The strategic value of multiplying disciples was reinforced.

I taught on the believer’s position in Christ and the importance of knowing this solid, unchanging truth. So that we can practice our position and experience the “all spiritual blessings” given to all believers by the grace of God in Christ. I also taught on the distinction between the Church and the coming Kingdom defining our mission until the rapture of the Church.

The Zambia leaders reported over 8,000 one-on-three disciple makers groups were actively functioning. Praise the Lord. That means there is a potential for 24,000 more groups by next year.

The HBM MISSION is growing by God’s grace and to His glory and the advancement of the Gospel until He calls us to Himself. Praise the Lord.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

A CHURCH IS BORN IN THE BUSH — BECAUSE PARTNERS LIKE YOU INVESTED 🌿⛪

Seventy-five kilometers deep in the African bush, a new church has been born.

Peter Shimbumba, one of our Disciple Makers Program students, faithfully trained three disciples. They shared the Gospel — and God moved powerfully:

✨ 25 people trusted Christ
✨ A new worship gathering began
✨ Within weeks, attendance reached 75
✨ Another 33 believed during follow-up evangelism

No crusade.
No outside team.
No building campaign.

Just disciples making disciples — the way the Lord designed it.

And here’s the truth:
📌 This happened because faithful partners helped train leaders, provide materials, and sustain ministry on the front lines.

Your generosity is multiplying the Gospel in places where most ministries never reach.

As this young church grows, we want to equip them with Bibles, disciple-making materials, and leadership training — and continue expanding to other unreached communities.

👉 Would you prayerfully consider giving today to help train more disciple makers and plant more churches like this one?

Give securely here:

Every gift — large or small — goes directly toward advancing the Gospel and strengthening local leaders.

Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for believing in this mission.
And thank you for investing where hearts are truly being changed.

Together, we are advancing the Gospel — one disciple at a time.

MARANATHA!
