ŉ Nuwe oes van gelowiges in Malawi
In verskeie dorpe regoor Malawi, is daar onlangs ŉ groot aantal Yao Moslems wat Jesus as hul Heer en Verlosser aanvaar het en ook gedoop is. Die Here is besig om deur FEBA se uitsendings luisteraars se harte te verander. Dit word duidelik gesien in meer as 200 klubs regoor hierdie land. Gedurende die afgelope maand het die direkteur van FEBA Malawi, Ds. Amos Siyabu Phiri en sy span, 56 nuwe gelowiges gedoop, waarvan die meerderheid voorheen Moslems was. Volgens Ds. Amos, is die Yao-Moslems gretig om meer oor Jesus Christus te leer en is heeltemal ontvanklik vir die evangelie.
Die FEBA Malawi se produksiespan het Magomero luisteraarsklub in Zomba besoek. Meeste van die mense in die klub was voorheen Moslems. Ten spyte hiervan, was die meeste van hulle gewillig om na die Woord van God te luister. Op hierdie dag is daar ook radio’s en luistertoestelle, gelaai met verskeie Bybellesse, aan die mense uitgedeel. Die span het ook die omliggende dorpe Mangochi, Balaka, Chingale, en Mwanza besoek waarin daar ŉ paar aktiewe luisteraarsklubs is. Vir baie, in ŉ onderontwikkelde land soos Malawi, is ŉ radio hul enigste bron van inligting en dus die enigste medium waardeur hul die evangelie kan hoor.
In die komende maande sal die span voortgaan om deur die land te reis om aan die lede van die verskillende luisteraarklubs radio’s en luistertoestelle uit te deel, om sodoende seker te maak dat die evangelie oral in Malawi gehoor word. Sedert 2017 het FEBA Malawi meer as 2300 luisteraarsreaksies ontvang – 76% is van jongmense en 24% van volwassenes. Die mense is desperaat om meer van Jesus te weet, soos dit uitgedruk word in die woorde van ‘n luisteraar van Mwanza: “Ek voel soms dat ek my eie lewe wil beëindig as gevolg van my probleme, maar wanneer ek na FEBA se uitsendings luister, voel ek nie meer eensaam nie. Julle moedig my aan om voort te gaan en op die Here te vertrou.”
A new harvest of believers in Malawi
Recently there has been an unprecedented amount of Yao Muslims who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and they are being baptised. This is apparent in the active engagement of listener’s in more than 200 clubs across Malawi and their positive response towards the programs being broadcasted. Over the course of the month, the director of FEBA Malawi, Rev. Amos Siyabu Phiri and his team, baptised 56 new believers, most of which were former Muslims. According to Rev. Amos, more than ever before, the Yao people are eager to know about Jesus Christ and open to the gospel.
The production team at FEBA Malawi recently visited the Magomero Listener Club in Zomba. Most of the people in the club were Muslims. Despite this, most of them were willing and eager to listen to the Word of God being broadcasted. On this day, radios and audio boxes with various Bible teachings were distributed among the people of the village. The team also visited neighbouring villages of Mangochi, Balaka, Chingale, Namadzi and Mwanza where there are several active listener clubs. For most, in an underdeveloped country like Malawi, radio is the only source of information they have to grow in their faith.
In the months to come the team will continue to travel across the country to meet with the members of the various listener clubs, distributing radios and audio boxes, to ensure that the gospel is heard throughout Malawi. Since 2017 FEBA Malawi has received over 2300 listener responses – 76% are from the youth and 24% from adults – all desperate to know more about Jesus. In the words of a listener from Mwanza: “I sometimes feel like ending my life because of my problems, but when I hear your broadcasts, I don’t feel lonely anymore. You encourage me to keep going and to rely on the Lord.”
