Sitting at Johannesburg Airport waiting for our flight to
Perth (sent this from Perth as internet connection ran out!) and it is time to write about the last remaining teacher at Samfya, Peter
Chomba – his wife is Jennifer and unfortunately I do not have a photo of them
together. Peter has been teaching at Samfya for over 15 years. He completed the
Biblical Counselling and Expository Preaching courses in South Africa under Dr
Wayne Mack and Pastor Joel James. He has written a book in Bemba on counselling
and is working on an Expository Preaching one as well. He is waiting for
opportunity to get these resources out and they will bless the rural church and
its leaders.
Peter was with us in our visits to Kasuba and
then our extended trip around the Northern Province. He is an excellent
translator and has been working with me since 2001. Peter’s passion is village
life and helping these churches grow. When we left Samfya Peter had been out in
teaching on the Extension Programme at Chishi Island working on discipleship
training with the three churches there and their leaders. He is unofficially
known as the head man around Samfya because of his influence and relationship
with so many. He is a choice servant of Christ and it is a privilege to work
alongside him.
