Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant:
Matthew 28:19-20 AMP
Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).
These last few verses in Matthew 28 - is well known as the Great Commission by our Lord Jesus / Yeshua, just before He ascended into Heaven, to go and prepare a place for us to be with Him and the Father. And His commission includes a few things, like:
- We must GO into all the earth - in other words to all nations, tribes and tongues, and tell them about Salvation
- Make disciples of them
- Baptize them
- And Teach them to observe everything that Jesus / Yeshua commanded the very first Apostles
And this counts for each and every believer in Jesus. Not just for some. We all need to find a way to share the Gospel. For some it will mean travelling to other countries. But for others, you can start in your very own neighborhood. Meaning you can just step outside of your home, and seek someone you can share the gospel with. We should all be evangelists at heart, praying for the Lost, crying out to God for people's salvation. It is the calling for every believer..!!
And yes - Jesus can use anyone, and everyone that is willing to obey His command, and step out. Even if you have no idea where to start or what to say - just share your own personal testimony. Try and make it as short as possible - to tell someone else how you came to the Lord.
And that is how the Zambia Kneels - Youths had started in 2022. It started with Apostle Memory and 2 of her children. They took John 15:16 ("You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit,...") and believed it with all their heart, and decided they are going to share this message to anyone they meet in the streets, telling them about Repentance, that we need to all turn back to God.
And today - now almost 4 years later - they have grown in number - that they now are divided into teams going out every weekend into different areas of Lusaka - just sharing the message of Repentance, and how much God loves His people - that they are chosen to bear fruit for Him. And the numbers are growing every week..!! Just like Jesus promised in Matt 28:20 - He will be with them / us till the end of the age !!
And now that they are also armed also with Ps Jeff's latest book "He can use me? " - they are now even more encouraged to share the gospel with more and more people. As you can see from the photos above, they held a Woman's conference end of April, and the church (which is just an open space in Apostle Memory's back yard which they now closed off) was packed with people - woman, men and youths all together - all wanting to hear more.
The youths decided to translate the book into their local language, which encouraged and transformed their lives even more, they can't stop talking about it - looking for any and every opportunity to share what they learned with others, and also to try and get this book into people's hands. They are printing these books at a nearby barbershop. As you can see from the one video clip further below...
But, if we go back and look where it all started - just 4 years ago, and compare it with how it all looks now - this becomes such evidence of what "Sharing the Gospel" really means ! God truly is a performer of His word - He is Faithful to ensure that the blessings follow them that obey His word and practice it !! Their lives will never be the same. And the lives of many people in Lusaka are changing little by little every day - all because of Apostle Memory's obedience and stepping out by faith - when she couldn't see anything in the physical, apart from struggle. Yes, they had to face lots of discouragement and pain and set backs, but she pushed through it all. And today her church is bursting at the seems - begging to grow bigger at every conference.
You can still see some of the videos and photos when it all started in 2022 on our Africa Kneels Website.
Here is also a link of one of the very first testimonies given by Apostle Memory at the time, when they had their first youth conference in 2022, with just a handful of youths, which from that meeting one of the girls boldly decided to walk into a bar and preach to some of the people...

And so, you can also do this - be an encourager to youths - doesn't have to be a large group - start with just 1 or 2. And just be willing to take them on the streets, and show them the example of sharing the gospel - the Good News with someone else - encourage them to Turn Back to God in Repentance, and receiving their forgiveness from Him. You will be amazed at how your group will change and grow over a very short period of time - like Apostle Memory will tell you...
Here follows some of Apostle Memory's latest feedback she sent us - starting with the recent conference and what happened afterwards...

Please keep Apostle Memory and the Zambia Kneels youths in your prayers. They are ministering under very difficult circumstances - but now with the upcoming elections in August, things are really tough, with lots of violence and intimidation going on. But nothing is stopping them from going out still, and seeking whom they can find and lead them to the Lord.
And thus, if you feel led by our Lord to sow into this vision of "Zambia Kneels" - please will you consider making a donation, and mark your donation for "Memory".
You can also become a monthly partner with this ever growing vision - through regular prayer and support.
