THE QUESTION OFFOLLOW-UP

The question of follow-up keeps popping up on my mind whenever wedo outreaches. This is because I understand the importance of makinga swift follow-up on the people who get saved in the outreaches. Infact the subject is triggered by seeing a lot of people receiving Christ inour outreaches, and I then get worried if follow-up will be made or notby the local churches.

As an organisation, we have worked with different churches aroundSwaziland that think that if they work with Every Home for Christ theirchurches will be full in a short time, and that didn’t happen. The peoplewere getting saved in numbers as we worked together, but they thenrelaxed too- much and never did any follow-up on the new believers.

So let me say this to you right now; if you are not prepared to befollowing a cow that you recently bought, it would definitely get lostand you might find it right where you bought it. We always encourageleaders to do a follow-up on the new believers within 48 hours after theyreceived Christ. A follow up is critical for the growth of your church. Itdoesn’t matter that the people are getting saved in numbers, becausethey might go back to their sins in numbers as well.

The question of follow-up says, “do you make a follow-up on each andevery person who gets saved in your revivals, film shows, or in youroutreaches?” If you don’t, so why do you expect your church to grow innumber? It’s not about the big numbers of people getting saved, Irepeat, but it is the care and love that you give them after they receiveChrist. You need to register them as soon as they accept Christ andtake their contacts and other particulars. Then contact them and tellthem that you and the church love them and would love to meet themin church the next service.

Congratulate them for making this wonderful decision and that you,yourself, took the same decision in the same way that they did. Youshould know some important detail like their residential addresses sothat you can go fetch them if you don’t see them in church. A follow-upis what matters. Please, enjoy this October 2017 issue, and be blessed inJesus name.

TENT CRUSADE IN MBABANE200 RECEIVE CHRIST

PASTOR CASPER DLAM(Prayer for Harvest Coordinator)

Right inside the capital ofSwaziland, Mbabane, wepitched a tent for revivals thatlasted for two weeks. We hadtargeted the people who live inthe city and the surroundingoutskirts.

At least we had an averagedaily turnout of about twohundred and fifty (250) people.Although many appeared to beregular attendees, but newfaces appeared each andevery day, thus taking theturnout up to more than fivehundred (500+) people for thewhole event.

The EHC team had joined forceswith a South African evangelismteam known as the Imvuselelo

and shared in responsibilitiesand available resources for thework of God to be a success.

A remarkable effort from theEHC team went into organizingand running promotions of therevivals, which was indeed oneof the reasons for the revivals totake place. And among manyother provisions by theImvuselelo Team, the leaderEvangelist T. C. Meyiwa broughtwith him well known andpowerful South African speakersfor the revivals. We also hadother powerful speakers fromSwaziland as well.

The list of speakers involved DR.Gumbi (RSA), DR. Hleta(Swaziland), Pastor Mvinjelwa

(RSA), Pastor Mbhele (RSA),Pastor Zuma (RSA), PastorDlamini (Swaziland), PastorMeyiwa (RSA) and Pastor Gule(Swaziland). The ImvuseleloTeam also sponsored the wholeevent, covering almost the totalexpenditure.

All the Men of God were used ofGod in a mighty way throughoutthe revivals since people weregetting saved everyday. Atleast the total number of newbelievers who were added intothe kingdom of Godaccumulated to a whopping200. And over seven churchesthat work with EHC in Mbabanewere responsible with collectingthe harvest.

Before the revivals started, we were endlessly and fervently praying for thelost to attend, because our hearts would be fulfilled only when peoplereceived Christ, and at least 200 did.

The last week of the revivals was heldat Sandla Assemblies of God, achurch under a popular and wellrespected man of God, Dr. OsbornHleta, and the revivals duration wasextended to three weeks. We tooktwo weeks at the tent and one weekat this wonderful building of theAssemblies of God.

The well known and a favourite tomany believers in Swaziland, Dr. S.D.Gumbi from South Africa, preachedduring this last week. Many peoplesee him on televisions and listen to hissermons on radio, so people came in

numbers just to see and hear himpreaching live.

Though the senior man of Godcame for only a day, our veryown Evangelist Casper Dlaminiand Apostle Joseph Guleproceeded with the sharing ofthe Word on the other days.

Rendering of music and poems fromdifferent gospel groups left all believersrevived. People were getting savedand the demon possessed and thesick were prayed for and weredelivered in Jesus mighty name.

rior to the start of the revivals at

Sandla Assemblies of God, as

our custom, we had to reach out

to the people who reside there, at Sandla.

The way to do this was to distribute tracts

to the community folks that we met on

the streets and the ones that we found at

their homes.

The EHC team was determined and

committed, as usual, to get almost all the

people on the streets reading about Christ.

We were joined by at least two members

of the church in the distribution and

sharing of the gospel around the area. We

were obviously mandated to also inform

the people about the revivals that would

last for the whole week.

Two of us were using mobile horn

speakers mounted on a car to mobilize the

whole community for the revivals and as

well as preaching the word of God as they

drove around the area. Besides the

mobile speaker mobilization, the strategy

was very simple; we just went to the

bus-stops and to the nearby college known

as Swaziland College of Technology

(SCOT). These were the busiest places in

this area. We gave the tracts to people who

were waiting for buses to town and we

gave to the students at the college.

We had wonderful time with many

people who had questions about the

Christian faith. They wanted to know

about different things; others about

heaven, others about the second coming

of Jesus, others about the conduct of

believers, and many other things.

The Lord helped us to provide helpful

information to all the people after

engaging them to say out their thought

about the questions that they asked. Some

where giving some fine answers to the

questions, but some were giving us very

funny answers.

We were amazed to see a large group of

students from SCOT coming to us for

more clarity about Christ and as well as

the revivals. At least we were able to reach

more than 150 people and we distributed

more than 200 tracts.

HOME TO HOME OUTREACH AS CURTAIN-RAISER TO TENT REVIVALS AT LUDZELUDZESince most pastors see the home to

home outreach as an excellent curtain

raiser for any event that they want to

host, we therefore went to Ludzeludze

to carry out this divine mandate. We

never wanted to take this exercise as

simply a curtain raiser or anything

else, but we knew that the home to

home outreach is the most reliable and

effective way of evangelism. They

might do it as some curtain raiser, but

we went to do it as the great

commission of our Lord.

Thus, the Mountain of the Lord Church

had engaged our outreach training

services to get its members out to the

field ahead of their tent revivals. The

senior pastor of the church, Mrs.

Mpanza, said that the outreach will not

only win souls, but will also spread the

news about the tent revivals that they

would have soon. It was evident that

Mpanza had mobilised his church,

because we managed to train THIRTY

members on home to home outreach.

We stayed with the church for THREE

days, and at least FORTY NINE

homes were reached with the gospel,

SEVEN people accepted Christ and

over ONE HUNDRED AND TWENY

tracts were distributed. So exciting was

that among the SEVEN people who

got saved, there was a Moneni Pirates

player and a celebrity known as

Zombodze Dlamini. Moneni Pirates is

one of the strongest teams in the

Premiere League of Swaziland and

Zombodze is one of the key players of

the club.

When speaking to us, Zombodze said

that most believers do not like sharing

about Christ with popular people like

them as soccer players. He mentioned

that he thank God who brought us his

way and that he has finally accepted

the Lord..

AS THE CHURCH REACHES OUT TO THE LOSTNhlangano Alliance is one of the bigchurches led by Reverend Patrick Dlaminiwho is recognized in the whole country ofSwaziland. The EHC team was invited totrain and equip the members on effectiveoutreach. As our custom, we never go outwithout a briefing lest people will comeback with good results. No matter that wehad a very short time in our briefing withthe Alliance believers, we noticed thatalmost all of them already had knowledgeabout home to home outreach. So, wegrouped ourselves and moved out.

The collective effort by the groups saw usreaching 300 homes, and at least 26people received Christ. We distributed awhopping number of 1500 gospel tractsstraight into the hands of the communitypeople here. And since we had a filmshow in the evening, we were inviting thepeople to the film show as well. I, PastorDavid Kunene, was also responsible for

driving around mobilising the people onhorn speakers to come to the film showwhich was a great boost to thereasonable turnout that we had in theevening.

At the film show, we had more thatSEVENTY people who came to watch thefilm, “Izono Zakho Ziyawukufumana”.And at least a walloping number ofFORTY FIVE accepted Jesus Christ astheir Lord and Saviour. The church hadarranged a brief counselling class for thenew believers. Adding the numbers of thenew converts from the home to homeoutreach together with the film show, theytotal up to a walloping SEVENTY ONEpeople who got saved.

There was one man who stays

right next to the church building

who indicated that he has never

attended church since he was

born. He revealed this after we

shared to him about Christ and

made him see the need of

accepting Him into his life. This

man stated that he can feel that

the Lord Jesus is needed in his

life. He said that there was a gap

that he can’t fill with anything

and it is now clear that the only

thing that could help him is

accepting Christ. It was a great

experience to see that man

giving his life to Jesus and

promised to be part of the

Alliance Church. We prayed

with this man and encouraged

him to attend church more often.

To God be the glory.
