Beloved Partners & Friends

 

In a little room that can hardly be called a chapel with white washed walls, no windows and rush mats for a ceiling, something phenomenal is happening. The Holy Spirit has, over several years, been molding the workers of Kalibu into one mind and one purpose in this one little place. Some are the educated administrative staff whilst others are cooks and yet others are totally uneducated truck hands who know only how to change wheels and direct the truck whilst reversing. There are pastors, students, women, men, white and black all crammed into a space a little larger than an office. Outside, each knows his place, his position and his limitations. But, once they enter the doorways of this little "chapel" there is absolutely no division on labour, social strata, race consideration, economic basis or education. There is a unity that is too glorious to behold and from the moment the praise begins, one is lifted into the heavens. It is impossible to adequately describe the exuberance, the joy, the fire and the power with which these men and women worship. Shouting, whistling, humming, harmonizing or singing as if it were a choir of a thousand strong, the presence of the Lord is so real that it is almost tangible.

 

Each service is different but the blessed Holy Spirit visits with His glorious unction. Sometimes it is a couple of hours of just speaking and shouting and declaring His majesty. Other days it might be all singing and dancing. Then, there are times of absolute silence that might last up to an hour where the Lord melts and undoes hearts. However HE chooses to appear is His prerogative. The gathered simply obey and go with the flow. He, the Holy Spirit, is poising to do something great and wonderful. Revival is in the air and it is certainly evident in the enthusiasm that is infectious.

 

Those whose lives are not in order are caught into the convicting flow of His unseen wave. Sobbing, real gut rending sobbing, breaks out from one and another. Some individuals launch into true travail of intercession. The glorious fact is that they are too uneducated to even know the word, "intercession," but carried by the Holy Spirit they are fully involved in intercession. There are times when the presence of the Holy Spirit just causes a river of tears to flow from many eyes. There is no crying out in anguish but just a flow of tears and for no apparent reason. There does not have to be a reason in God's presence. Heaven has stooped to touch this little piece of earth. The supernatural is gracing the natural. The mighty arm of God is turning the hand of flesh and nothing created may glory in His Divine presence.

 

Is this what the day of Pentecost must have been like? In that room, all are one and are focused on one passion and that is to touch the Lord. Nobody has any agendas but the Lord and His purposes. These are ordinary people graced with the Divine.

 

There are a couple of songs that are anointed for His glory. These simple choruses are repeated over and over and with each replay, the intensity of the anointing increases and the presence of the Lord becomes more real. At times the African harmonizing sounds as one single voice to the extent that one feels as if he has been lifted clear into heaven and is tasting of the corporate worship of the untold number around His throne. A price has certainly been paid to reach this point. Such things don't simply happen.  Death has come and in death there is life. Naturally people are asking, "where is this going?" Right now, I do not really care. We are here for His glory and His pleasure and that is all that matters.

 

There is coming a vast change in the church. We are going to see a move of the blessed Holy Spirit across the earth in these days and it is going to begin in just such small, unknown and insignificant "chapels" behind and run down rented house that is Kalibu Ministries Headquarters.  It is our plea that the Lord intensifies His work and it is all for Him.   

 

BICYCLE DISTRIBUTION, CHURCH ROOFING, MAIZE SHORTAGE

 

Since Kalibu Ministries embarked this year on a programme to buy ten bicycles every other month for the pastors and evangelists in the remote parts of Malawi and Mozambique so as to facilitate their Ministry work, there has been great success registered in reaching the Gospel of Christ to the unreached. These remote areas are often neglected by the governments to the extent that transport and communication always remains a big hindrance to any activity in these areas.  Roads are literally  impassable during certain seasons of the year and generally all infrastructures are not to standard. Since this programme stared in March this year,  twenty pastors have received brand new bicycles to facilitate their ministry work.

 

Not only that, there is also a programme to roof a church which can seat at least two hundred fifty people every other month.  So far a church has been roofed and another is due to be rooed this month. The pastors and evangelists are really happy to send their blessings and thanks to all the supporters of the Ministry and the management in supporting their work for the Kingdom of God.

 

(Ed note)  $600 a month is sent to Malawi in addition to support and anything required for building or emergencies.  This is used one month to purchase 10 bicycles and the following month to roof a church.  If anyone would like to donate to these project please send donation marked for this purpose.  Many thanks.

 

The drought that hit Malawi this year has resulted in a poor yield of all crops and in the main staple food crop, maize, in particular.  This has led to the drastic shortage of grain and flour in all markets and stores countrywide.

 

The government of Malawi has embarked on importing maize from abroad to feed her ten million citizens and has urged the humanitarian aid organizations to donate more food aid to the country to supplement the crop. The worst affected as always is the rural masses who are entirely dependant on their small pieces of land for self preservation. There is severe starvation in the villages and especially amongst children.  As a result of the looming famine, Kalibu Ministries has doubled the maize supply for feeding the two hundred workers in the school construction project and at the mission headquarters. In addition, we have urged our pastors and their congregations to intercede for the Almighty’s intervention in this critical situation which man alone can not solve.  We ask that you join with us in prayer.

Church in Nsanje District -Malawi due to be roofed this month

NCHALO CRUSADE - MALAWI 

The Nchalo crusade in Chikwawa district-Malawi was held from17th to 19th June 2005. God’s presence and mighty power was experienced as His vessels filled with the Holy Ghost boldly preached and taught with fire and authority from the Lord.  People turned out in large numbers to hear the precious message that was followed by signs and wonders.  It was such an amazing time for Kalibu members and the congregation at large. Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke to his people through Pastor Christopher Navaya on the first day.   The theme of the first day was “Unity in the Body of Christ.”  He emphasized that unless the Spirit of God joins us together as one Body in Christ we can not build the Kingdom of God as it should be built.

 

Pastor Navaya encouraged the youth and urged them to fulfill their promise with enthusiasm according to the book of Joel 2:28. He finally urged the youth to put themselves right with God by denouncing the pleasures of this world and satan for they will surely experience the authority and power of God as they follow Him and seek to do His will.

 

After the preaching, a huge number came forth to receive Jesus as their personal Saviour, the sick and possessed also came forward for laying of hands.  There was a mighty move of the power of God in the crusade experienced by the healing of the sick and deliverance from demonic spirits.

 

On the second day the youth meeting was chaired by Brother Vekka Yrol and facilitated by Marcus Wirth and Jonas, all from Finland and attending the Bible school in Malawi.  Among other things, they shared with the youth of Malawi praise, worship and most importantly the Word of God. The youth  really felt blessed to interact freely with the Finnish brothers and share their views and ideas about God. They appreciated the meeting and requested the mission administration for more meetings to be organized in the future for their spiritual growth.

 

The women’s meeting was chaired by our missionary and supporter Sister Dougale from Lithuania.  She taught the Malawi women about marriage and family harmony between a husband, a wife and children and also on how a woman can be successful in life. She based her lesson on the book of Proverbs 31:10-31.  It was an interactive meeting as the women posed different questions on marriage and family on a Christian perspective but inspired and filled with the Holy Ghost, Sister Dougale correctly answered all the questions raised to the women’s satisfaction on Biblical context.  She also laid hands on the sick and possessed as Jesus commanded his disciples and consequently there was instant healing and deliverance.

 

The leadership seminar was chaired by Pastor Frank Van Dyck.  God used Pastor Frank to impart into these church leaders the Biblical managerial and leadership skills. He urged these leaders to allow the Holy Spirit to use them and do the work of God according to God’s order and ways but not according to what they think or wish. He warned the Pastors and elders that when the Holy Spirit decides to move, nothing can ever stop Him.  He further emphasized that God is looking for believers whom He will visit and use so we should be ready to welcome Him and allow Him to use us as the results will always be excellent and we shall have the heavenly reward.  He emphasized that the Holy Spirit should be the only one to drive our lives, churches and ministries.

 

The Crusade was finally closed by a Sunday service where Pastor Paisley Mavutula preached and encouraged all who have come for the crusade to take all the teachings they have received in the meetings seriously and allow them to impact their lives.
