3. LIST OF THE NAMES OF CONGREGATIONS WITH WHICH I AM WORKING AND THE TOTAL MEMBERSHIP EACH HAS. Mainway Meadows church of Christ in Waterfalls Harare, Zimbabwe is a congregation of the Lord with which I am currently working and the current membership of this congregation is twenty-two families who registered their membership through immersion, and have their permanent and temporary residence in WATERFALLS (i.e. Mainway Meadows, Prospect, Park-Town, Uplands, Short-Stone

& Cheviot), HATFIELD (i.e. Logan Park, Park Meadow-lands), SUNNINGDALE (i.e. 1, 2 and 3), and MBARE. One family (Parvel Sigauke and family) withdrew their membership from Mainway

Meadows this last month to Matabeleland Province (Bulawayo).

Three quarters of the member- ship at Mainway Meadows church have “temporary “ residence, and this means some members are simply tenants in these afore stated locations, they pay rental fees for the use of a house, cottage or room for a specified period.

Sometimes it is very difficult for a local church to successively continue with the same members every time and over a long period because they shift or they get moved from one location to another, usually after expiry of the lease agreement. Therefore, the turnover is very fast and unbearable. This is very common to local churches which are located in the cities and towns.

4. NAMES AND AGES OF NEW MEMBERS WHO WERE ADDED THIS LAST TWO MONTHS (NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2011) TO THE CONGREGATION WITH WHICH I AM WORKING AT MAINWAY MEADOWS CHURCH OF CHRIST. No new members were added in the month of November and December 2011 to the congregation with which I am currently working, but we continued teaching work to those recently baptized (see pictures below).

5. WORK BEING DONE IN TEACHING THE NEW CONVERTS: This last month, we continued Bible studies with new converts and new prospects on a set of lesson/topics in the New Testament. We are studying from the book of Ephesians and

this last month (November 2011) we looked at chapters 4, 5 and 6, the inspired writer revealed God’s plan that redeemed the Ephesians from sin’s darkness. This plan is the great doctrine of salvation – the salvation that God designed to be found only in His Church.

8th November 2011: On the above picture, from left is Tendai Mufundisi (new convert), sited on the middle is Tatenda Chidarikire (new prospect), and I on the far right at our home in Waterfalls. I studied the Bible with Godwin jnr (left) who was converted to Christ end of last year and Trust (18) a new prospect who has developed interest in studying the Bible and attending church services every time. This young man has a strong denomina- tional background, but I’m very happy because he likes his Bible and is prepared to learn and accept the truth of God’s Word. 6. HERE IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PREACHING/TEACHING WORK I HAVE DONE THIS LAST TWO MONTHS OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2011:

(a) TEACHING WORK TO THE LOCAL CHURCH AT MAINWAY

MEADOWS IN WATERFALLS, HARARE, ZIMBABWE:

(i) WORSHIP ON SUNDAYS: In the month of November and December we continued with all our worship services and mid-week edification and devotional gatherings as usual. We are a congregation which cannot afford to meet/assemble for worship and bible studies on a daily basis exactly like what was done and practised by the church we read about in the book of conversions [Acts of the Apostles], but we are encouraging brethren not to forsake assembly (Heb 10:25), but to attend all Sunday services, all day and mid-week evening bible studies of the church, for the purpose of learning MORE about God's Word (1 Peter 2:2), loving their brethren and DESIRE to be with them

(1 Peter2:17b), SETTING THE RIGHT EXAMPLE for their families and other people (1 Timothy 4:12), and ENCOURAGING workers in the church (Acts 15:36).

10:00 am -------- Main Service (morning worship) 12:00 noon -------- Song Service (congregational singing) 12:15 pm -------- Bible Study (all classes’ i.e. adult class,

Children class, combined class) 6:00 pm -------- Wednesday Mid-Week Home Bible

Studies and Prayers On Sunday 11th, Wilesi (right) accepted the invite to Waterfalls Church where he preached spoke to brethren at morning service and continued his message at a combined bible study until noon. We had a good and memorable fellowship.

(ii) ADULT CLASS: This past two months I

made all efforts to

maintain the adult class

where I met with men

& women of the church

who were interested in

the truth and teachings

of the Bible. With the

help of

other

gospel

teachers/preachers whom the local brethren

here invited them to our church in November and December, we

joined hands and efforts in the work of teaching the adult class. Our

encouragement was basically targeting a very typical example of

the Berean people (Acts 17:10-11) whose example is one which all

people should follow today. They studied, received the Word with

eargerness. They examined the scriptures daily. They wanted to

knowthat what Paul taught was true (1 Jn 4:1; 1 Thess 5:21). The

result of such earnest searching is that many people will believe.

iv) CHILDREN CLASS:

Surely, our children are not given us to do with as we please, they are not our property, they are God’s children given into our care, so we can raise them to be what God wants them to be. Members of the congregation with which i work are continually joining hands together to follow a God given command of raising children in a Bible way.
