Zambia Messianic Fellowship Newsletter.
January 2012
A word from Alex.
Shalom from Lusaka, Zambia.
The gospel introduces an entirely new set of values and concerns, and an entirely new way of looking at life. Without the counsel of the Lord, everything is ignorance. In trying to deal with our problems apart from God, we are creating more problems than we can handle. The answer is not running away from the Lord but running to Him.
May we learn to let the Lord rule. Giving control of our lives is not a sign of weakness, but it is the greatest show of strength we will ever make. Under the guidance of God we become conquerors in a world that tries hard to break us down.
As we enter another year, we would like to thank all who gave, prayed, encouraged & visited us here in Zambia. God used you to enable us take the word out and to minister to the orphaned, hungry, naked, sick and lost.
Thank you and have a great day!
CONGREGATIONS
I was honored to immerse my daughter Tamar after she publicly confessed faith in the Lord.
22 souls from our Lusaka main congregation were immersed.
Hallelujah!!
Court case.
We have finally been given a date for our court hearing, June 12th. Kindly pray with us that God will prevail and the people trying to grab our orphanage frontage won’t be able to do so.

Orphanage.
Some good news! We have recorded another 90{f867ed0a5269d3ff73e3962581c489613d212587fec1849d90b46f9dafc0d2f4} pass rate among our seventh grade orphans. In Zambia hundreds of thousands of seventh graders compete for fewer eighth grade places. For many this is the end of their education when they fail to make it to eighth grade. I am happy to report that we have outperformed many good and well funded schools to produce a 90{f867ed0a5269d3ff73e3962581c489613d212587fec1849d90b46f9dafc0d2f4} pass rate.
Thank you for playing a role.
There has been a lot of progress at the new orphanage. We now have running water, the ceiling is done, the classrooms are done, the dormitories and ablution blocks are complete and the kitchen is being worked on.
The new dining room will seat 50 orphans per meal.

USA Visit.
God willing I will be visiting the United States next month from February 21st. Thank you to all who have invited me to speak and for those who have played any role. Thank you most sincerely.
Sponsor an Orphan project.
You can now sponsor an orphan for only $25 a month at the Jerome Fleischer orphanage school. Sponsoring an orphan will give you an opportunity to correspond with your sponsored orphan, to pray for him or her, help them try to recover their lost childhood and it will also give you the opportunity to encourage the child to do well in school.
Your sponsorship will allow us to give the children three meals a day as opposed to one meal a day, school supplies, medical care and housing when the orphanage building is completed. Step into the world of an orphan and be a life changer. All donations towards sponsoring an orphan should be given through Congregational Roeh Israel (see bottom of this newsletter). To sponsor an orphan contact our USA representative Debra Green at zmforphanage@gmail.com or call 303-219-4591
We also have opportunities for one time giving at the end of the newsletter.
