Dr. Filimao Chambo, Zambia South District Superintendent, Rev. William M. Banda, the principal, Nazarene Theological College of South East Field, Rev. Joe Chinyama Lilema and his members of staff present here today, missionaries Rev. Gary and Penney Sidle, Rev.

Tim Eby and his assistant Antione, Zambia Literature coordinator, Rev. Rose Chipasu, and church of the Nazarene members and delegates present at this year s 40 th Zambia South District assembly, greetings! Brothers and sisters in Christ, let me begin this report by giving a brief overview of the contextual situation facing the nation today. The economic, political, social, and religious challenges that this country faces are enormous and are the first of their kind since a long time in the history of this nation since its founding in The sudden rise in commodity prices has greatly affected the general citizenry in this nation particularly the less privileged and poor people in both the urban and rural areas. Of course this may have been attributed to a strong dollar and a weak Kwacha. As a result of these economic pressures many of us today are unable to afford a decent meal on an ordinary day. However, there is still hope in this nation in spite of these challenges we still remain united and hopeful that better days lie ahead. We still remain hopeful and determined that our help comes from God and that these challenges can only be faced when we first turn to God. For this reason, I would like to commend the President of this country, His Excellency Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, for declaring 18 th October 2015 as a day of national prayer, repentance, forgiveness and restoration. In light of the declaration, I would like to urge you all in your respective churches tomorrow to observe this day and dedicate it to God and having as your scriptural focus 2 Chronicles 7:14. 28

29 Having said all this, let me turn to the central objectives of this report. And I will begin by highlighting the Jesus film teams currently available in Zambia. NB: Let it is suffice to mention here that the church of the Nazarene is governed by three fundamental core values: 1. We are Christian church 2. We are a Holiness church and 3. We are a Missional church. As such, part of the goal of the Jesus film ministry is to supplement the church s effort of making Christ like disciples in the nation.

30 Key Performance Indicators ZM01 ZM02 ZM03 ZM04 ZM05 ZM06 ZM07 ZM08 ZM09 ZM10 ZM11 ZM12 ZM13 Evangelistic Contact Initial Discipleshp Contact Decisions for Christ New Church Plants INTERPRETATION OF STATISTICS IN FIGURE 2 The distribution chart above (figure 2) shows that more than 400 thousand people have been reached through the Jesus film show (cumulatively) across all the 13 teams in Zambia over the last 11 months. Similarly, over 170 thousand people have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior over the same period across 13 teams. Over 90 thousand people have been reached by way of initial discipleship contact, and about 132 new preaching points have been started. The statistics mean that generally we have reached more people through the Jesus film ministry and that more people have since given their lives to Jesus Christ. However, we need to improve on initial discipleship contact strategies if the church in Zambia is to harness the potential that this ministry provides. Furthermore, this calls for increased collaborations between the Jesus film ministry and the respective districts both in terms of strategic planning as well as training and equipping of the churches responsible for providing leadership to the new preaching points created over the period under review. JFM PLANS/RECOMMENDATIONS As we pointed out in the last report, we will continue to work hand in hand with the various DSs, and the district evangelism committees around the country to see the best ways to monitor the development and sustainability of the new church plants which are planted via the Jesus film ministry. It is our desire to see that all the churches we plant are effectively handed over to the districts responsible to allow them to develop leadership and follow up programs as these activities cannot be adequately done by the Jesus film teams due to limited time and financial resources. 30

31 JESUS FILM MINISTRY CHALLENGES Initially we had an enormous challenge concerning movement for our team members. This challenge is being effectively resolved through the provision of motorcycles to team members. We praise God for this. Other challenges include wear and tear of existing old equipment which need to be replaced. A better option is the new back pack which is more convenient. Furthermore, expected challenges such as mobility of the coordinator have been recurrent in the past church year. This challenge could only be overcome if the national office is supported by way of a utility vehicle. This will continue to be our prayer and we know that God is faithful and will answer this prayer. Philippians 4:19, which states, My God shall supply all your needs according to his glorious riches by Christ Jesus, will continue to be our prayer. Respectively submitted, Rev. Chisomo Sakala JESUS FILM COUNTRY COORDINATOR 31

36 DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD REPORT The Chairperson for the Assembly, Special Guests Delegates to the Assembly, All protocols observed. Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The grace of our Lord has once again allowed us to gather together as Zambia South District members to review our Church performance for the calendar year 2014/2015. The year under review has had successes and challenges, more of which will be captured under the reports as given by the District Superintendent and the Treasurer. ADMINISTRATION. Under our mandate as District Advisory Board, we successfully held all our planned monthly meetings, except for a few due to over run in our schedules for the year under review. LEGAL MATTER Outcome of the Chilenje court Issue that I reported to the Assembly last year. Ruling was delivered by judge Chisanga of the Lusaka high court on 2rd February Ruling: The court ruled that DAB could not be sued because it has no legal personality. Instead the plaintiffs (Rev Raymond Chirwa and Mrs.Dorren Phiri) were correctly advised to amend the writs of summons and sue the church if they wanted because it is a registered body incorporate under the lands perpetual Act and as such has legal personality in the body of trustees. In view of this, DAB was removed from the proceedings/case. Furthermore, the honorable court ruled that the plaintiffs, Pastor Raymond Chirwa and Doreen Phiri could not sue the church in a representative capacity as Chairman of Chilenje Church Board. Injunction: The interparty hearing of the injunction has been slated for 19 th November 2015 at 08:30 hours at the Lusaka high court. Status of Chilenje Church: Meanwhile the District Advisory Board is taking steps for possible lifting of the crisis status of chilenje Church should that deem fit. 36

37 District Superintendent Welfare: With budget support from the few Local Churches that have been consistent in contributing towards their district budget allocation, we have been able to meet our obligation in terms of supporting our District Superintendent with Salary and transport for his official movements though under difficult circumstances. Motor Vehicle: With your support in procuring the Vehicle I reported last year, the D.S movements were made easy and quicker in this calendar year as compared to the previous years. We still thank you the members for the Good Job you did. Concerns: a) Many local churches have a tendency of waiting until District Assembly for them to bring their district budget allocation support, sometimes none at all, a practice that does not help the district to function smoothly. We urge all other local churches that failed to meet their obligations in full to do so and improve this year. b) It has been observed that many local churches in our district do not have Bank accounts for church transactions on revenue and expenditure. For this DAB is encouraging Pastors and the Church Boards to seriously consider opening bank accounts for the Church. This will contribute to high levels of transparence, trust and sanity in our financial and administrative activities in the local churches. c) DAB is also encouraging local churches that have not yet registered as legal entities to quickly move towards achieving that status to avoid possible deregistration of such branches by the registrar of societies. Key Scores: a) DAB would like to thank the few Local churches that have been consistent in meeting their budget allocation. We encourage these churches to continue with this spirit of commitment and responsibility. b) DAB would also like to thank the ministries of Women, Men, Youth and Children for their active role in supporting our annual church events in the district. Special tributes to the District Women executive for successfully hosting the first ever Field Women conference in Kabwe in our district. We encourage other ministries such as the Men, Youth and Children to emulate such great courage as the women did. May we continue with this commitment and zeal for our Lord and foster spiritual development in meeting the needs of the audiences we serve. c) Am joyful to report to the Assembly that the District Advisory Board received an amount of money to the tune of K towards the construction of the office of the District Superintendent. These funds were sources through the office of the Field Strategy Coordinator. And we thank Rev Mtambo for the effort in this endeavour.. d) To this effect works have commenced to have the office of the District Superintended constructed. A few delayments were observed due to the chopping down of the Big tree 37

38 that stood right in front of the planned structure. The funds mentioned will go a long way to commerce the construction but we will still require the involvement of each and every local church at a later stage to contribute in any way possible to have the office completed. CHALLENGES 1. Late submission of District Budgets 2. Until the office is constructed currently the District Superintendent has no wellestablished office to operate from. CONCLUSION We would like to thank you the members for the mandate given us to serve as DAB, your moral, Spiritual and financial support has enabled us to carry out our duties accordingly. Above all we want to thank GOD for his enabling grace towards each and every one of us. May we continue with the spirit of Love, Peace and Unity as we serve our GOD.
