In Zambia, a landlocked country in southern Africa with more than 70 different languages, owning a Bible in one’s own language is considered a rare and treasured privilege. They are expensive and hard to come by – in fact, Pastor Kebby from the village of Lukulu, explained that the cost of a single Bible is greater than the average monthly income.

Thankfully, Harvesters was able to respond! Through faithful support, our partnership with Biblica and the dedicated volunteers who delivered them, we distributed 3,500 Bibles to newly planted churches.

What moved us deeply was that, even before receiving these Bibles, local pastors have been faithfully obeying the Great Commission. Without copies of God’s Word – or replying on torn and tattered ones – they have continued to evangelise lost souls, plant churches and disciple new believers.

In Mongu, Pastor Armon Makai awaited us, surrounded by the Student Pastors of the 20 churches they have planted. They were overjoyed to receive Bibles to strengthen them in their faith and ministry.

In Mumbeji, Hub Leader Pastor Thompson Kaluwaji, planted a church 10 months ago, which already has 130 members – including an ex-witch doctor who has surrendered his life to Jesus. Praise the Lord for the work He is doing in the hearts of many!

In Lukulu, Pastor Micheal Libala has planted seven churches and is now discipling Student Pastors to lead them. They base their discipleship on Acts 2:42, devoting themselves to teaching, fellowship and eating and praying together. “I’m doing this job because Jesus died for people,” says Pastor Libala. According to Pastor Kebby, the Hub Leaders from Lukulu have already planted 150 churches in the area – all without adequate access to Bibles.
