“He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.” Isaiah 25:8 It was prophesied that the Savior will come, that He will swallow up, lock-in and arrest death, for all time, the physical and spiritual death that is imminent to all mankind; that this Savior would remove the reproach, the disappointment, shame and disapproval in us; whatever it is that makes us cry, this Savior will remove it forever, and wipe away our tears with the hands of the Father.
The mouth of the Lord spoke 700+ years before the birth of the Savior, the mouth of He who is faithful to finish what He started, to fulfil what He spoke. At the cross, in the most unexpected turnouts for the protagonist, when Jesus died, all creation thought it finished. Sure He swallowed up death as was prophesied – and darkness prevailed during the silence. “From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.”
Mark 15:33 From the beginning, He was with the Father, and in this darkest hour, He was separated from the eternal Love, no one to wipe His tear, no one to look at Him. Once and for all He did it so that you and I don’t need to endure this heartbreak, this painful separation from Love. But we don’t sing because of this Love that died for us. We sing, with a mad noise to wake up the dead, because of the victory that followed, the light that broke through the darkness, the glorious day that dawned upon all creation, Jesus did as He promised, He rose again, we sing and dance because of this kind of Love. Check-mate, Death.
So if He died when He said He would, and is the only one in all human history to also rise when He said He would, we are listening closely to His truthful words. He said we are free, He died so we can live as free men and women, never again bonded by sin, slavery or any human being, He said a Friend will come to us, He said there will be hard days, and that He will never leave our side and will crush anyone who lifts their eyes against you, that He has made all things new and that we will join with Him unto eternity, we believe, we believe all of it, and we sing and sing of this truth, and we live this truth powerfully.
When He finished it on the cross, that’s when our real lives began. So sing, rejoice, let the roar be heard in the enemy camps, let them fear the coming of praise, the Free are headed in their direction. We’re free, free, forever free, welcome the people to join in the song of the redeemed! Let the people know that the Resurrection has come for them!

God has all things, His children will lack nothing! God’s presence is where we believe to heal, deliver, Save for his glory. Let’s have an attitude to receive from God. He will deliver us from any situation!
As we are to have communion, let’s be reminded of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection! When we plead the blood, diseases disappear and Impossible things become possible.
AFRICAN MISSION 3:16
Mission Updates Day 2,3 & 4
We thank God for adding one more day.
Today it was a very productive day filled with important visits and different ministry outreach programs.
We had an opportunity to meet The President of Zambia, His Excellency _Edgar Chagwa Lungu._ We were also invited to the presidential lunch where we met with other ministers as well.
Following that, we set off for ministering at the Baptist Congregation and had a powerful session ministering to the Pastors, Leaders and to the believers. After the service God enabled us to provide a one time meal for around 400 people and later distributed 10 bicycles to the pastors who do not have any means of transport for their village ministry. We were also able to provide study bibles for few pastors too…
Thank you for all your prayers and Supports!
Please continue to do as we stand together for the Kingdom of God.
Mission 3:16 Updates from Zambia 🇿🇲
[Testimony Time]
Carry His Presence signs n wonders are part of us!
Today we set off in the morning to minister at Calvary Outreach Ministries International @ 13 mile, Lusaka. After meeting the pastor of the church, he took us to see his wife who has been bedridden and barely able to walk for the past month. They wanted to show us her current condition and with the pastor’s help she got up and walked shakily and slowly while shivering. We prayed for her with words of encouragement and proclaimed healing and strength to be given to her and set off for the church. While walking on the way to the church we heard loud cries from the house and stopped to see what was happening. We started walking back and saw the same woman who was barely able to walk, running and yelling with joy towards us. God provided the miracle within a matter of a few minutes. She walked with us to the church and stood and testified while the church members were in awe of the work of God…
Thanking you prayer partners for your supports in mission 🙏🏻

African Mission 3:16 Further Updates
Praise God!
After 2 days of travel and other schedules today God enabled us to visit the African Mission 3:16 land that was given to us by government.
We went into the field with the Headman to pray and thank God for what He was provided for us. Following that, we met the Worship Mayor of Chongwe.
In the afternoon, we set off to buy monthly provisions to distribute in Kalikiliki Community, where 90 percent of the population is HIV positive. We went out as a team into the community and met different families and distributed the provisions (10 kilo Miley Meal bag, 2 kilo Sugar and Tea bags) for 50 families.
Many lives were touched with the expectation of HOPE and this is becz of your prayers and supports. Let’s do it together 🤗
Once again thank you all for your prayers and support!
