Thats all I have for Lusaka, pleasing to the Lord, I will start sharing tracts in Chipata tomorrow.
Thank you
Brother Mutale
(in fact almost all Zambians who happen to know my surname will start talking to me in Chibemba because the name Mutale is actually mostly found in this country among the bembas).
[Let us rejoice that God has raised up labourers to share the gospel]
[Matthew 9 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.]
Hello brother BradThis report is for Lusaka, Zambia's capital city
I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for safely bringing me to Lusaka on the night of 06th April 2025 after completing Kitwe and Ndola in the Copperbelt Province where I saw thousands of people accept the tracts.
Very little work was done on that Sunday in Lusaka because I was very exhausted due to travelling but also that I had organized transferring tracts from the bus company to my hotel room which was located a bit far from the Lusaka Central Bus Terminal. The Lord touched the heart of one gentleman, Mr Chola, a Taxi driver to assist me get the tracts, go around to drop me at distribution points and pick me up later and bring me to the hotel [praise God for Mr. Chola!]
Then on Monday, the 07th April I started sharing the gospel in Lusaka.
This time,the strategy I used was to divide the city into four, North, South, East and West and in each location I chose I targeted areas where there were buses operating between the city and nearby towns, villages, secondary school students, colleges and universities but also small scale sellers and big markets.
Lusaka is a city where you have people from all over the East,Central and South Africa subregions.
I started with the Northern part of Lusaka where there is the Heroes National Stadium, along the "Great North Road" which starts from Cape Town South Africa to Cairo, Egypt.
There were hundreds of people doing renovation work in the stadium,a local market and bus stop used by those coming but especially leaving Lusaka for other provinces using mini buses because they are quick and convenient. And so I was rotating around these three positions and reception was very high like other cities.The photos I took here does not show that many people because when many people came around I could not take photos I had to concentrate on sharing the gospel.
In Lusaka,and Zambia in general, people speak their local languages even though they also speak very good English and so once I failed to respond then the next questions would be "where do you come from" "what church is this" "are you alone" "do you have tracts in Chibemba or Chinyanja" - actually Zambia is pretty much the same as Malawi, they share a lot [in common] including languages.
One notable difference I saw here is that no one came to help, that is, work along with me, but bus conductors will come and literally grab tracts out of my hands to share in their respective buses and others said they will take the tracts to where they were going.
On the same day I went to the South, at City Market where there was and always is a mass of people BUT this time reception was the opposite, one would have expected that thousands of tracts will be shared here since thousands of people pass here especially those coming from work to get buses to their residences. What actually happened here is that not even a thousand tracts were shared, I could extend the tract for five minutes and no one would take it. The about 700 tracts I shared here were accepted by pushcarts, street cleaners, drunkards (most will fold the tract in my sight saying "I am putting it in my pocket so that I can read it at home, it's about Mulungu eeh?") - Mulungu is God in many languages in Africa" Remember Matthew 21:31 [Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.]
On 08th April I went to the East, a walking distance from my hotel which is also along the Great North Road to a place called Chaisa. Here there is a market,small football ground,schools and residential areas. This location is hard to leave when you start sharing tracts. It was another fantastic reception which encouraged me to share tracts till darkness came - no street lights as Zambia is experiencing shortage of electricity.
On 09th April I went to the West, a place called Garden House where I worked for the whole day too. Again, this spot is a place where once you start sharing tracts is like you don't want to stop. I rotated between two points on either side of the main road that leads to the Western Province of Zambia, small scale sellers and buyers, schools and a host of supermarkets to the North of the area. On one side of the road I stood exactly where buses from the city center would stop to pick passengers going to towns and villages to the west. As usual, bus conductors asked for tracts to share in their buses, actually in all spots I have shared, people in their private cars, buses, trucks carrying construction materials, restaurants will call me to bring tracts to them.
One man came to me and asked about the ministry but all in all we talked about the nature of Salvation in relation to Baptism and he cited Acts 2:38 saying one must be baptised in water to become saved. I asked him where in that verse does water appear...that the verse is not laying down a procedure in the power of man to follow as step by step process to become saved. One of his colleagues joined and the discussion ended by this other person getting very upset because I showed them that no one can [do] anything to get saved, he was so angry so much that he threw his hands in the air and crossed to the other side but was almost hit by a fast moving heavy truck. Of course works-grace gospel is widely taught and believed in churches so much that the idea of God electing some for salvation and leaving others is totally unacceptable even after showing Romans Chapter 9:13 that God loved Jacob and hated Esau-may God have mercy unto His people.
Of course after returning to my hotel, I will continue sharing the gospel outside the hotel because during those hours hundred of people walk along the Great North Road as they return from work in the city center to their homes.
A couple of tracts were discarded, a few more torn to pieces in anger.
This basically ended my tracts distribution efforts for Zambia's capital city, Lusaka because, yesterday I shared a few tracts but spent time booking and organising transport of tracts to Chipata.
I left Lusaka very early in the morning and now I am in Chipata, my fourth and last city to visit before I cross the border to Malawi to continue the work.
I thank you all for putting me and the people in Africa in your thoughts and prayers
For Lusaka tracts distribution

This report is for Ndola City-day one which was yesterday.
First of all I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for bringing me here safely from Kitwe.
Ndola is one of the main cities in the Copperbelt Province and therefore due to its economic significance to Zambia, it has attracted many nationals who happen to be engaged in copper mining business in one way or another.
I just returned to my hotel room from sharing the gospel.
Today I was at Nakadoli Market located north east of Kitwe-what a day of sharing tracts!
Nakadoli is a market which specialises in Agricultural produce and according to those selling there, the market brings people from all over Zambia, it is the main market which supply other small markets including the Chesakone Market i visited on my first day.
I had two sessions, the morning session ended at around 3pm after finishing the tracts I brought with me and then I went back to my hotel room and brought more tracts which I shared until dark.
Incredible reception with almost zero rejection! I stood right at the northern gate but was also able to move inside the market where I went from table to table, even to those who put on ground whatever they were selling, EVERYONE picked a tract. In fact others will call me to bring to them tracts asking what are the tracts for or "is it from the church?" "Which church is this coming from?" was also very common to hear.
I also distributed to vehicles and one bus conductor came to me and asked 200 tracts to share in his village of Chamishi. I summarised contents of the tracts for him to decide, just like all other helpers, it is important for them to know before they make a decion to share the tracts because sometimes they just grab the tracts from my hands and go.
I also met a few hundred students from two different schools who were passing through the market on their way home after school.
O praise the Lord, what a joy to see thousands of people get within an environment which they can become saved.
These were ordinary people 95% of which are younger generation

I worked at just one spot, Ndola's main market where I shared the gospel on the four sides of the junction.
It was another incredible reception, almost every one accepted a tract except very few.
Over 90% of those who accepted a tract were young people.
The video clip attached shows one of the spots where I stood and shared over 3000 tracts in just a few hours.

I am still in Kitwe City and yesterday, Lord’s Day, I was blessed to stand in the streets of this city and shared thousands of tracts to the people.
I started around 1pm local time. I was helped by one Daniel, who together with four others helped to share the gospel Day before at Chesokone Market. By the way, everytime someone come to help I do make clear about the content of the tracts, especially TEOTCAAA for them to decide before working.
We were at Pick n Pay and Shoprite shopping malls where we met thousands of people, some selling on the road pavements, others coming to buy from the shopping malls as well as hundreds of young people who were going/coming from a Soccer Stadium where they were watching game by local teams.
We also met hundreds of people coming from various churches.
Reception was moderate when we started but increased up until we finished the tracts around 7pm local time.
I will be going back to the streets as soon as I finish sending this report.
All honor and glory is to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for everything that we did yesterday.
May there be many who will be blessed with the message unto obedience.
I answered a few questions from individuals who wanted to know more especially about the end of the church age.
Kindly continue to pray for the work of the Lord here in Kitwe to bear fruits.

[Let us praise God for raising up helpers with a desire to serve the LORD. I am reminded that we are all mere servants whose duty it is to serve our master faithfully. Please continue to pray for God's blessing to be on this work. Thank you.]
Hello brother Brad
I am writing from Ndola, my second city after finishing with Kitwe.
Pleasing to the Lord, I will start Ndola City distribution of the tracts tomorrow morning.
Thank you for now

Ndola, Copperbelt Province-Zambia
April 4, 2025. This is my second report for Ndola, Copperbelt Province in Zambia.
What a day this was...
All thanks, honor and glory is to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for continued guidance and strength to travel, stand in various locations to share the gospel as well as drawing thousands to pick tracts of the true gospel.
Today, I was blessed to stand at the entrance gate of yet another market in Ndola known as CHIFUBU Market, it is on the outskirts of Ndola City and was a full day effort where I shared tracts to almost every person who came around. The reception was so high that at times people would come themselves crossing the road, leaving their businesses and even stopping their cars to pick a tract or two.
Many many asked for additional tracts to share with their loved ones.
On the other hand there were those who came literally grabbed tracts out of my hands saying they are going to share in the market or the other side but also others said they are taking the tracts to their villages.
There was a time one man picked a tract and started to read it aloud saying "TEOTCAAA " which brought more people to pick tracts.
Looking at the video I have attached you will not believe but I have long learned that where there is less congestion of people is where I will share more tracts because almost everyone have the time to decide whether to take it or not.
Video:
Chifubu Market entrance gate-Ndola, Zambia
One boy age 5 shook his hand from his mother who was holding him and ran to me and asked "why are there so much suffering in the world" I told him it is because of our rebellion against our Creator and so as a consequence of sin death came along with suffering and that is why we are sharing the gospel because our creator has provided salvation for His elect (who are sinners like everyone) which might be any of us.
His mother also came and stood there listening before her son finished all the questions he had and they left.
Seeing people receive tracts always bring that one big question " could he or she be among the elect?"
May there be many among them who will become saved.
Kindly pray for these people of Ndola and Zambia in general.
I remain to see what our Lord will have me do tomorrow once I go out for sharing tracts again.

I am writing from Lusaka, my third city in Zambia Tracts distribution efforts.
I arrived last night fter finishing with Ndola yesterday, I travelled during the night.
Yesterday I worked in down town Ndola, unlike the previous days which I went outskirts.
Reception was not that high but enough to finish remaining tracts for Ndola and then left for Lusaka thereafter.
Lord willing, I will start Lusaka distribution tomorrow morning which will be followed by Chipata City before closing the boarder to Lilongwe, Malawi.
I have attached a few photos taken from Ndola down town.
May the Lord be merciful unto as many people as per His Salvation program which was set before the foundation of the world.
Ephesians 1:4
"...According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:.."
Which was in accordance with His perfect will
V5
"...having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,..."
For Ndola tracts distribution efforts.
