Dear Brothers & Sisters:
Our brother Eric Mutale continues his gospel outreach activities faithfully sharing the True Gospel on the front lines in East Africa.
This page reflects Eric’s final 2025 Tract Distribution campaign in Zambia which follows a previous distribution in Zambia early in 2025.
Click below to view / download the tracts that Eric has distributed:
In 2024 Eric successfully completed a major distribution of Gospel Tracts and “The End of the Church Age And After” (TEOTCAAA) booklets in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Malawi. We say “successfully” because the receptivity to the tract was nothing short of amazing, the authorities did not hinder the work, and Eric was able to verbally share and discuss the truths of the gospel with thousands including many young people. The median age in Africa is approximately 19 years, making it the continent with the youngest population globally. This means that half of the continent’s population is younger than 19, and the other half is older. Many of these young people are not so entrenched in the churches and have minds that seem open to hearing the true gospel. As we know very well, only God can give spiritual ears to hear, and based on the responses, we believe and earnestly pray that God is doing a great work of salvation in these countries especially amongst the young people.
Please take a few minutes and read some of the reports. They are so encouraging! The thing is, we have God’s absolute assurance that there is a great work of salvation going on today outside the churches (a great multitude, which no man can number, Revelation 7:9). The mantra today is found in Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. The Bible provides plenty of proof that this end-time harvest is like no other in the history of God’s salvation plan, but it requires you and me who know the truth to get that precious gospel out to the masses, the greater majority of whom are very poor and do not have immediate internet access.
Below you will find Eric’s reports from this latest Tract Distribution effort in Zambia.

Hello brother Brad
The time has come for me to leave Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for Zambia to share the true gospel of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ the great God, in obedience to His command to preach the gospel to all nations so that the great multitude which God promised to save in these last days could be saved, that they would be saved during the great tribulation which we are now in
Revelation 7:14
“…These are they which came out of [the] great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
I have everything in place and will be leaving Dar es Salaam this evening for Ndola via Tunduma before going to eight more cities throughout Zambia.
Yesterday i collected the [300,000] tracts from the printer and brought to the Abood Bus Terminal where I made sure all boxes were loaded into the bus ready for today’s journey which is 929 Kilometers to Tunduma where I will spend a night before proceeding on to Ndola on Thursday morning.
This will be my second time to visit Zambia and aims at visiting each provincial capital in this Central African country. In total, I will be visiting 9 cities, the Lord willing.
Again, I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for opening this door. Zambia like all African countries, has a large population of young people (below 35) who are scattered in cities and towns doing various petty businesses including riding motor cycle taxis, selling in markets and streets. Most of these young people do not have deep roots in the churches and throughout my work, they are the ones who always accept tracts, ask questions and a few will support my work by sharing tracts along with me or taking hundreds of tracts to smaller towns and villages.
I am absolutely convinced there is great impact even though we may never get to know them which agrees to our Lord’s word that “…a great multitude which no man can number…” which is opposite the church age where churches used to keep numbers.
May there be many in Zambia who, like Ninevites, will heed the admonition as God works through His word unto them (us).
Jonah 3:5,9,10
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Ofcourse God only see our Lord Jesus’ work, not our works which are at best “filthy rags.”
God has promised that a great multitude are being saved and it is through our efforts.
Kindly pray for me and the work that there be many among Zambians who will become saved
May God’s will be done

Hello brother Brad
I am writing from Nakonde, the Zambia side of the border.
I thank our Lord for His travelling mercies from Dar es Salaam to Tunduma, the Tanzania side of the border yesterday morning around 9am.
Immediately thereafter I started doing border paper work and clearances from the authorities which was successfully done and was also able to arrange transportation of tracts and loading into the bus ready for this morning departure.
Zambia does not have restrictions for anybody bringing in gospel tracts or any Bible related materials and it was not that hard except that this border point is a very busy one and so the queue was long.
As I write I am already in the bus which will be departing for Ndola shortly. This is going to be a more than 12 hours journey.
Thank you for now and kindly remember me in your prayers.

Hello brother Brad
I am writing from Ndola, Zambia. I couldn’t do it earlier, I had a running stomach but also was very tired.
I am thankful to the Lord for the safe journey from Tunduma/Nakonde to Ndola.
We arrived last night and the challenge I faced was that the bus I was in was going to Kitwe, it did not enter Ndola City so I was left on the highway where I had to organize the transportation of tracts and myself to the hotel. It was not easy to find taxi but after an hour or so I got the taxi and reached my hotel.
In view, I have been resting the whole of today to regain strength and so, pleasing to the Lord, I will be sharing the tracts as from tomorrow.
Thank you all for your prayers and I can’t wait to be in the streets, markets and bus stages tomorrow sharing the good news tomorrow.

Hello brother Brad
This is my first report for Zambia Trip 2 gospel tracts distribution efforts which I started yesterday, 17 August 2025 and it was a wonderful opportunity to share the good news with the people of Ndola City, towns and surrounding villages knowing fully well that God is saving a great multitude we can never number…Salvation is ONLY available OUTSIDE the churches and congregations and that God has appointed us to do this final work of bringing His elect from the four corners of the world.
Isaiah 61:4-5
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
I am thankful to our Lord for bringing a friend, Peter, to help. Peter is a young man who picked me from the highway where the bus I was travelling in left me, it was in the night and he said he didn’t know where he was going, he just got into his car and started driving and found himself being stopped by me asking if he was operating a taxi.
Later after arriving at a hotel I lodged last time I showed him a tract and asked him if he could accompany me to do the work, he agreed and we arranged for him to come and pick me from the hotel for us to start the work yesterday at 10am. He came a few minutes after 10am and I asked him where can we find a location where we will meet many people, he replied “Masala Complex” he said here is where you can find many people from all over Ndola, people from DR [Democratic Republic] of Congo, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Malawi-Masala Complex is a huge business center and he insisted “if you want to reach the whole Ndola it is at this location.”
So we left the hotel for Masala Complex and it turned out to be the place I visited in my first trip back in April 2025. I then told him that I have been here before, it will be duplication of work, but he said it is just a small percentage who visit there frequently, insisting that everyday new people come, one can share on a daily basis and each time it will be almost different people.
So we started the work and it was just incredible, students, petty goods sellers, travellers and those selling around the big market, there are two bus stages taking people to all directions…we shared tracts to pedestrians, those in cars both private and commercial..the pushcarts, police and military officers, I remember even Catholic nuns, Chinese, Indians and Arabs picked tracts.
Almost everyone who asked a question was relating to a church like “where is this church?” “which church do you come from?” reminding me of Isaiah 61:4 that I have quoted above, that I am here to do just that (that is, to build the old wastes, raise up the former desolations, and repair the waste cities) and so, YES, God is working!
Remember, 99% of those who accepted tracts are young people. This trend is the same everywhere I share tracts in this sub-region and so you see fulfilment of prophesy right in front of your eyes (O Lord have mercy upon me for I am a nothing to be tasked to do this most serious work under the sun-one MUST say this).
Reception was exceptional, almost no discarded tracts, scores of people, mini bus operators would ask for additional copies to share will loved ones or other people or passengers.
By the time we started taking photos and videos it was in the afternoon, those who appear not to take tracts is because either they are rushing or picked tracts earlier and this is because EVERYONE understands we are sharing the gospel.
I have shared a few videos (apologies for poor quality) for all of us to see.
Sharing the Word of God in Ndola, Zambia
No one can keep numbers, I took with us a box of more than 15,000 tracts and only a few remained because we had to leave due to darkness.
Today, Lord’s Day, me and Peter will go to another location, it is a perfect day, after personal devotion, to share the bread of life to our neighbours…
Of everyone who accepted a tract or will read we can say:
“Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?” Jonah 3:9
Verse 10 of Jonah 3 agrees with God’s promise that a great multitude will be saved during this time of the world’s history and so what a comfort we have when we know that our efforts are not in vain because they are not of ourselves “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”-Philipians 2:13
“O give thanks to God for His goodness”-Psalm 136
Kindly pray for Ndola, especially those thousands of people who picked a tract for their salvation as well as those at home.
May God’s will be done

19-August-2025
Hello brother Brad
I am thankful to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the great God for His guidance and protection as I continue to share the precious message from His word here in Ndola, Copperbelt-Zambia.
This report is for Day 2 and 3.
Day 2-Chipulukusu Community
This was on Lord’s Day 17 August 2025
Peter and I started the work sometime in the afternoon.
Chipulukusu is one very big community and we were able to share the gospel till dark.
Reception was as usual, very high. Even though we started in the afternoon thousands of tracts were shared. Among those who received were individuals who were coming from their churches, surprisingly hundred of them accepted the tracts.
A few asked questions and my contact number, among them literally hundreds of young people who never refuse a tract.
The most notable incident of the day is that a mob of school age children who were following a traditional healer march abandoned the healer and came and mobbed me for tracts, I tried to control the situation but failed such that they started pulling my clothes off…at this point I had no option except to toss the tracts on them, after I had finished the tracts I had they followed me to the Car where I took other hundreds of tracts and were grabbed out my hand in a blink of an eye. I could not believe after this that there was not one tract on the ground. All this happened in about 15 minutes or so. All I pray is that the tracts reached many many homes through those young boys and girls.
After this incident we moved to the main junction where we shared thousands of tracts and left at sunset with our hearts rejoicing for that people at Chipulukusu were reached by the gospel.
O praise God…
Day 3-Chifubu Market and Community
I was here back in April this year and this time it was a full day effort like in Masala Market.
As soon as we started there was no even time to take photos/videos until sunset, so many people in this area too and almost everyone picked a tract.
Here we shared tracts to petit sellers in and around the market, there are schools and bus stages, hospitals and fleet of churches (in Ndola, the government has set apart a place where those starting churches can build, almost all churches in Ndola are located around this area and so again, like Chipulukusu, we met thousands of church goers.
Only darkness caused us to end the work here after having shared thousands of tracts.
Today we will work in a different location and conclude Ndola City tracts distribution before I leave for the next city, Kitwe.
Kindly pray for Ndola, that tracts shared reach every household and beyond. Actually, Ndola City has a big international population too, Somalis, Congolese, Zimbabweans, Malawians and Tanzanians.
May our Lord grant salvation to His elect, may there be many among those who received tracts.
I am sharing a few videos taken and, again, apologies for the poor quality.

Hello brother Brad
This is my final report for Ndola City.
Yesterday 19 August Peter and I shared tracts at Nkwazi Market, Sinya Area as our last efforts for this City.
Sinya Area is where mostly extremely poor people live but also have the highest crime rate in the city. I thank our Lord for protection, we started slowly but as evening set in hundreds of people filled the road into the community coming from their respective work places, mostly from city center.
We shared there until darkness came.
Reception was as with other places, very high and three individuals asked additional tracts to share with loved ones but also one of them said he was going to share at the church youth conference.
The videos and photos taken were not of good [quality] and therefore will not be shared.
Prayers for people of Ndola and sorounding towns and villages.
I am now in Kitwe City where I arrived this evening ready for the work tomorrow.
Thank you very much for your continued prayers for these efforts, I hope our Lord will raise individuals to help sharing the gospel here in Kitwe too.
From Kitwe City,
Brother Eric Mutale
27-August-2025
Hello brother Brad
This report is for Kitwe City, the capital of Copperbelt Province in Zambia. It is my second out of 9 cities I will visit in this second trip to Zambia [previous trip was in April].
I thank the Lord for His guidance, protection and strength to stand in various places of Kitwe City sharing the gospel.
An integral part of the message in our day is to warn people to flee the churches because they are under the judgment of God (1 Peter 4:17), to warn the people that judgment will soon be here, like the Ninevites were warned by Jonah.
Jonah 3:4
“And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.“
Jeremiah 51:6
“Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.“
By the Lord’s travelling mercies, I arrived in Kitwe in the evening of Wednesday, 20th August and after taking a hotel room I was able to find Daniel, a friend who worked with me back in April so that he can join me for the work of the Lord in this city. I was able to find him and he was so excited that, once again, we could share the gospel here.
*DAY ONE* 22 August
On day one, me and Daniel started to share the gospel tracts in the morning at Chesokone Bus Terminal where he shared in the Western part and I stood in the Eastern. It was a full day effort and were able to share thousands of tracts. Many times bus conductors and a few passengers would ask for additional tracts to take to towns and villages where they were going.
Reception was as usual,very high.We shared tracts to passengers inside buses, with hundreds of sellers in and around the bus terminal, shops, clubs, pharmacies and restaurants. Many times we would be called by people from all directions so that we could bring tracts to them. Sometimes it took a few seconds before I realize they are calling because here, as well as throughout Zambia, Malawi and Uganda, people speak their local languages and so being African they do not know I do not understand their respective languages.
Questions were coming from all directions like “what church is this”, “can I get a Bemba language Bible”, “where are you based”, and for those who got the time to read the tract would return and start questioning, “how come you tell people to leave their churches while we are comanded not to neglect the assembling of ourselves (Hebrew 10:25). There were those who got upset and either return the tract or discard it but I will also see others picking discarded tracts and coming to me saying, “I am putting it in my pocket so that I can read later at home.”
Yet many will come with a genuine concern desiring to know more. A great number of them would ask my number and sometimes others will ask for prayers and additional materials.
Day one ended around 8pm our time and I returned to the Hotel and Daniel went to his home.
I thank the Lord for all that happened and hope and pray that He Himself will take care of all the various needs of those dear people we met.
*DAY TWO* 23 August
On day two, Daniel did not come to join me because he was not well and so I alone went to Nakadori Market outside Kitwe City where I also shared the gospel back in April.
This also was a full day effort which saw thousands of tracts distributed to people. Nakadori market is visited by thousands of people from all over Copperbelt Province who come to buy and sell here.It also feeds other smaller markets and it includes people from DR Congo. A great many industrial products which are normally bought in Tanzania are sold here and that’s why it attracts people from neighbouring countries.
The work started slowly and if you look at the video and photos one might think it’s just a small market with a few people.
I stood right at the main gate entrance and so I was able to meet those on foot as well as those in cars, trucks bicycles and motorcycles.
The Lord also brought one person who committed her time to work with me and so she stood on one side of the road and I was on the other. This lady left her goods which she sells and decided to help. Taxi, lorry and minibus operators collected hundreds of tracts to share where they were going and this was done with joy, others just grabbed tracts from my hands while others went to my distribution bag and took a few bundles.
A few children were also involved, three girls came and brought sweets to me, they also took tracts and shared to people.
As the evening approached, an individual came to me and introduced himself as a pastor, he took a tract and went his way but after some minutes he came back and said “what is written in this tract is true.”
Many many others talked with me about the tract’s message.
The beauty of sharing tracts at Nakadori is that people come in almost single file making it easy to reach thousands.
At some point I took the time to go from shop to shop, table to table and also to those with goods just on the ground and shared the tracts.
As darkness set in, surprisingly the number of people increased and so I use my phone light to share tracts, it was indeed joyful to see people accepting tracts even in dim lights before I returned to the Hotel around 9pm.
Praise the Lord for Nakadori Market.
*DAY THREE* 24 August, Lord’s Day
This was not a full day effort, after personal devotion I went back to Chesokone Market around 1pm, there were relatively few people yet I shared hundreds of tracts up until darkness came and left at around 8pm.
*DAY FOUR* 25 August
This was my last day in Kitwe. Daniel rejoined and together we shared tracts at Chesakone Bus Terminal again as well as Mama Afrika bus terminal where, at the end, I took a bus and left Kitwe for Solwezi.
Daniel told me that new people visit these places everyday and so there is no possibility of duplicating the efforts except for a tiny percentage of people who are normally sellers but as for travellers they are always new.
This time we decided to approach each and every bus leaving the terminal and asked to share inside buses ourselves. As a result almost every bus conductor would ask for a bundle or two of 100 tracts each to share where they were going.
Then the time came for me to leave for Solwezi thus completing Kitwe distribution where thousands of tracts were shared
Just before I left, I received a call from one John who met me at Nakadori Market,he told me that his neighbours would like to meet me so that we can discuss more about the Bible, he said they read the tract and wanted to hear more about it and so as i will be going back to Ndola, together with the other one who identified himself as a pastor, I pray the Lord to grant me some time so that I can go and meet them. I insisted to them that I am not a pastor nor do intend to start a church because it is unbiblical and that should the Lord grant me the time I will not be having any spiritual oversight to any person, that I will be just an individual and should never be considered as an overseer or pastor.
Thus ended Kitwe City tracts distribution.
Kindly pray for Kitwe, this second time I have noticed a significant change, many people showed concern and almost all wished for an opportunity to hear more.
May our Lord and Saviour,Jesus Christ our great God grant understanding and obedience to His people in and around Kitwe.
For Kitwe tracts distribution

28-August-2025
Hello brother Brad
I thank our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ for enabling me to safely arrive and share the gospel to the people of Solwezi.
This city is the capital of North-Western Province which is the biggest province in Zambia and it borders DR [Democratic Republic of] Congo and Angola to the north and west respectively.
The Lord directed me to start the work at the City’s Main Bus Terminal which serves passengers going to smaller towns and villages within the province, the rest of the country as well as DR Congo and Angola.
A few meters from here there is another terminal for within the city passengers, going to various suburbs of the city. The population here is made of mainly Zambians but also there is sizable population from DR Congo, Angola and a few Tanzanians doing various economic activities like mining, agriculture and commerce.
*DAY ONE*
This was on 26 August and I started the work with about 7,000 tracts.
After arriving at the main terminal’s entrance gate I took a few videos showing the gate and the sides of the to and from roads that pass through the middle of the city. I actually started by sharing tracts to those operators of the buses in their offices-everyone took tracts and a couple of big bus operator asked for tracts to share with their passengers, and what was unusual is that they would demand me to give them hundreds of tracts and as the Lord led me, I gave each not more than one bundle of 100 tracts each so in about 20 minutes or so 1000 tracts were shared. I did this after a brief explanation on the content of the tracts and that they should not force anybody to take, be polite and humbly display the tract and let people decide.
As I continued, I could see some sharing inside their soon to depart buses and that everyone accepted a tract, some asking for more to share where they were going.
I then positioned myself at the gate where I met thousands walking along the highway and those going into the terminal. It was like a single file and my hand was extremely busy handing out tracts and I can’t remember a person refusing.
If you look at the video attached it’s like people are scattered and few but as the day progressed the number increased so much that even going for lunch was impossible.
At around 15:00 hours I moved to the smaller terminal’s entrance gate where I was still able to meet those passing along the highway but mini buses arriving brought thousands who were came into the city center mainly to buy from the evening Market which is opposite the two terminals but also along the two sides of the highway. The distribution was so intense that by around 17 hours, I had already distributed all the 7,000 tracts I brought with me in the morning.
The day did not end, I went back to my hotel room which was just two minutes drive and added about 1500 tracts and came back to the same spot and by the time it was getting dark I had finished the 1500 additional tracts.
Thus ended day one in Solwezi and it was such a joy to see many people receive the most important message to mankind in our day.
*DAY TWO* 27 August
As I just got back to the hotel, a security guard at the gate asked where I went to share the gospel, he then told me that there is a market just as you start entering Solwezi City name MITEK where I could meet thousands of people too. I knew the Lord was directing me to go there and so I made arrangements with the taxi driver to come and pick me up at 07:30 hours in the morning to go to this market. He actually came at 08:15 hours, met traffic jam along the way and so reached at the market around 09:00 hours.
Here I spotted a corner which was at the end of the market to the East, that place was so convenient to me because I could meet people coming and going to three different directions like three single files.
This time I took with me about 10,000 tracts, some TEOTCAAA [The End of the Church Age and After] and some IHGWSM [I Hope God Will Save Me] (That’s what I do everywhere I share tracts).
There was no stopping as soon as I started sharing, no rest, no waiting for the next person, people will see from as far as the highway and come to pick a tract, children forcing their parents to pick a tract, others will leave their mothers and come to me for a tract. I saw a child of like 5 years crying and throwing down herself to force her parents (did not see me) come and take a tract-me and them just smiled at each other for their daughter’s action.
I also put a few bundles of tracts on top of my distribution bag and within no time tracts will be finished.
I worked here until darkness came and so I had to go back to my hotel room with just a few hundreds tracts remaining.
Thus ended day 2 at MITEK Market-praise God for his work.
*DAY THREE* 28 August
This is the day I saw what I never saw anywhere. As we were returning back to my hotel room after day two at MITEK market, the taxi driver told me about another market known as CHAWAMA Market, which happened to be the biggest market in the province. It is located a bit outside Solwezi on a highway to DR Congo border.
After arriving there,I took a video.This market is on both sides of the Highway and thousands of people come to buy and sell here.
This is where I witnessed a reception like never before, I worked here for just about 5 hours but saw all remaining tracts distributed.
As soon as people noticed me many of those selling came and literally took like 100 tracts each and covered sizeable area, together with me sharing tracts. While sharing some shouted “come and take the word of God” or ” the word of God” in their local language-Cars, trucks and buses passing through the area, especially at the Zebra Crossing took tracts blowing horns to warn people who crowded the area either sharing tracts or coming to collect tracts. I never saw a discarded tract once.
What I saw here was incredible, surrounded by many people, some shouting “the word of God” and people waiting around me or those who helped for their turn to get a tract, no other place has people shown interest to hear the word of God like here.
I hope those people at CHAWAMA, MITEK Markets and the Bus terminals as well as ALL of us would do like what the Ninevites did-cry mightly unto God for salvation.
Jonah 3:9
“Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?“
After this wonderful CHAWAMA experience, I was left with no tracts and therefore decided to leave Solwezi for Kitwe enroute to Ndola from where I am writing this report.
Kindly pray for the people of Solwezi that there may be many who will be blessed with Salvation.
Praise God

7-Sepember-2025
Hello brother Brad
This report is for Mansa City, the capital of Luapula Province in Zambia.
Matthew 10:7
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Once again, in another city of Zambia, I am blessed to share the gospel, even as the Lord Jesus commands us to preach that His Kingdom is almost here, and as we understand from the Scriptures, God is commanding all believers to depart from the visible church for His Judgement has come.
1 Peter 4:17a
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
The people of Mansa had that wonderful opportunity to hear the true gospel for the first ever time through our tracts, TEOTCAAA [The End Of The Church Age And After] and IHGWSM [I Hope God Will Save Me]
*DAY ONE* -03 September
I arrived in Mansa on 2 September from Ndola. At the Mansa bus stand, I met two young men who work in and around here. They helped me find a hotel and also took me to all places where I shared the tracts with one of them helping the work.
The day started slowly, reception was very low, one could wait two minutes before a tract is picked. As the day progressed the reception increased so much that I could not get time to go for lunch, which was fine as it happened many times in many places I have gone with the gospel tracts.
Amazingly, young people who work there also helped alot, taking bundles of 100 tracts into the departing/arriving buses, to the taxi rank also located in the bus stand, passengers would call me from bus windows to bring tracts to them. Around this location there is a very big shopping mall to the east as well as a local market down to the west. I stood right at the junction meeting people who came from the mentioned locations as well as those walking on the other side of the road heading to other parts of the City.
The bus stand here have multiple entrances and so at times I will move to the northern gate where both arrivals and departures could be met as well as the other side of the road.
As is with many other cities in Zambia and Malawi, almost everyone speaks in their local language (Bemba language in this city) at first but also there were very few who even returned tracts to me because they do not understand English language.
I worked here until around 18Hrs35 when darkness came and left for my hotel room thanking the Lord for guidance, protection and for the thousands who accepted tracts.
Thus ended day one in Mansa City.
*DAY TWO* -04 September
The second day was spent at Maitenike Market which is located along the highway from Ndola/Kitwe and DR Congo territory all the way to Tanzania border.
This was a very successful place, I shared thousands of tracts to the people selling/buying, those passing by the market and also shared almost 2000 tracts to a group of people who were on burial procession, many of whom grabbed tracts from my hands and helped share among others in the group, among them police men and women, the military and of course the majority were motorcycle riders.
A few minutes after this there was a minor accident involving a motorcycle and a car, again it gathered a different group of mostly young people, they grabbed tracts from all directions leaving me with just a few hundred tracts after the traffic police had dispatched the group.
I was also able to walk into the market, shared tracts from table to table, shop to shop because they could not leave their business to come pick a tract. Actually the majority of them called me from their shops, maize milling machines and there was no resistance of any kind.
And guess what? …those who picked tracts are young people, those who do not appear to have much roots in the churches, actually many do not even attend churches, some with their cigarettes between their fingers, others even drunk but almost all of them would feel bad that they take a tract while in that condition. Of course, I encouraged them to take and upon taking they will fold the tracts and put it in their pockets saying “I will read it at home when I am less busy or sober”-what can I say? Jesus Christ came for sinners, who knows among them are many of God’s elect? In fact these could be the “last who will be the first”…the “publicans and sinners”
Others would ask questions and also say “I am not worthy to receive the tract or the word of God. That’s when I stop and talked to them that we are all sinners and unworthy but God sent Jesus Christ who is God Himself to save sinners and that could be any one of us, so pray that He strengthen us to stop all bad habits and start seeking Him-who knows God will save us just like the Ninevites in Jonah 3.
This one was so engaging, we talked about the condition of the churches and what a believer MUST do because many were so rightly concerned about TEOTCAAA title.
I hope and pray there are many God’s elect among those who accepted tracts there and their loved ones back home, even those who refused to meet the tract later.
Children forced their parents to pick tracts, others left them and came to me, even asked questions like “what is this paper for?”
I left here a bit earlier than at the bus stand the previous day because I finished all the tracts I brought with me at this market.
Thus ended day two.
*DAY THREE* -05 September
I and one helper went to a different market far in northwest of Mansa called Senama.
Another wonderful day of sharing tracts, had a few thousand tracts left and I had planned to leave for Kasama City after finishing here but the Lord had a different plan, as soon as I started sharing the tracts it never stopped and by the time I realised I had to go buy bus ticket for Kasama, it was already too late and so I just continued to share the gospel until I finished all tracts allocated for Mansa City late in the afternoon.
The story was pretty much the same here as was in Maitenike market, high reception rate, questions, short discussions and also strong wind…Mansa City has strong winds blowing dust all over but this did not keep the work of the Lord from being done…O praise God.
This is what happened in Mansa City, the capital of Luapula Province.
What can I say? The people of this province have had this wonderful opportunity to hear the true gospel, may the Lord cause the tracts to reach many many families in other smaller towns and villages through those who passed by the bus stand, those selling in the markets and others in the streets of Mansa City who accepted a tracts.
Yesterday before I travelled to Kasama city, from where I am as I write this report, I could not just sit, I took additional hundreds of tracts and shared at the location far in the north of the city along the highway as I waited for transport to Kasama. Actually, it was at the roundabout where there are two roads leading to two smaller cities I can’t remember the names.
Kindly remember these dear people in your prayers.
I am attaching videos taken during sharing, pardon the poor quality.
Being Lord’s Day today, I will be stepping out shortly to start sharing the gospel here in Kasama, for such is the reason the Lord Jesus brought me here.

[Editor’s note: Dear Brethren in Christ Jesus,
Following are reports from brother Eric Mutale since having been jailed for three days and forced to leave Zambia by the authorities without legal justification. Eric returned to his home in Tanzania and waited patiently to obtain a 30-day pass to re-enter Zambia.
By God’s mercy, Eric has now re-entered the country to continue and finish his mission. There are three cities and ~75,000 tracts remaining to be distributed. Please keep our brother in prayer for his safety and God’s blessing on his precious word.]
Hello brother Brad
I have received clearance from Ms. Karen, the Zambia Immigration Officer, that I can now travel to Zambia.
Lord willing, I will be leaving Dar es Salaam on Tuesday 21 October for Tunduma then Kasumulu border with Malawi.Ms Karen advised me to pass through Chipata which is Malawi/Zambia border meaning I will be passing through Malawi as the easiest route.
Kindly pray for me that the work of the Lord be done.
Have a blessed Lord’s day
Brother Eric Mutale
Dar es Salaam
[Editor’s note: I will surely mention this and ask for prayers for your protection and that God would give you boldness to declare his word knowing that his word does not return void but will accomplish the purpose for which it is sent. God be with you!!🙏🙏🙏]
Amen brother Brad, everything else will end but the word of the Lord will fulfil His glorious desire.
Thinking about what happened, I wonder why did the Lord allow all these makes me remember Paul and Silas who were jailed, sang songs and the gates were miraculously opened…I was in jail for three days and indeed did preach the gospel to fellow prisoners…which is singing to open the gates to free souls from the spiritual prison.

Hello brother Brad
Glad to let you know that the Lord has opened the way for me to go back to Zambia to finish the work I started in August.
I have with me +10,000 tracts [those were taken home with him while an additional ~65,000 tracts were left behind in Ndola, Zambia].
I took this photo yesterday evening just before leaving Dar es Salaam [Tanzania] and as I write I am just an hour drive to reach Malawi border where I will take another bus for Lilongwe [capital of Malawi] before entering Zambia at Chipata.
Will update you as I travel,

Hello brother Brad
I thank the Lord I am now in Zambia. I arrived in this city of Chipata yesterday evening. This is the last city I shared tracts last May [previous tract distribution] before crossing over to Malawi.
I entered Malawi on Wednesday evening, spent a night at the border and left for Lilongwe Thursday morning arriving at Lilongwe Friday morning. Same day I left Lilongwe for Mchinji, Zambia Malawi border town then Chipata after being cleared by immigration from both countries. It took some time to be cleared which was done after paying the amount required, they stamped my passport and was allowed into the country.
Due to lack of transportation today I could not leave today. I bought a ticket for tomorrow for Ndola [where ~65,000 tracts remain] via Lusaka where I will take the tracts I left there and go to Kabwe to start sharing the gospel to the three remaining cities including Choma and Mongu.
I appreciate your continued prayers and really thank the Lord for opening this door again

Hello brother Brad
I am writing from the City of Kabwe, Central Province, Zambia.
I was travelling to this city before immigration asked me to leave the country back in mid-October.
I am grateful to the LORD Jesus for opening this door and that at His time of choice, this was God’s will, that today I arrive in this city to share His gospel He has entrusted His servants to declare it to the world.
Traveling has been a bit of a challenge but I thank the Lord for taking me through.
I rested in Chipata last Saturday, 25 October and bought a ticket to leave Sunday but had fever and so left for Ndola yesterday at 04 hours and traveled in the bus for the next 20 hours. This is to great extent caused by road condition with lots of construction work going all the way from Lusaka to Ndola which is 300+ kms only but it took almost 12 hours reach Ndola.
Then today, after collecting the tracts I left Ndola for Kabwe where I am writing this report from.
Shared a couple of tracts where I was waiting for transport to Kabwe.
It is now like an hour and a half since I arrived and lodged here.
Pleasing to the Lord, tomorrow I will start sharing tracts here in this city. The Lord has already showed me where to start from, the taxi driver showed me, it is a big market where thousands come daily, he said.
I am excited, happy and energised to get into the streets again.
I am thankful to all for your continued prayers for salvation of people here and the workers.
May the Lord’s will be done here in Kabwe.
John 21:6
And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find.

Dear brothers and sisters,
I am so glad to send my first report for Kabwe, one of the three remaining cities I had planned to visit and share the gospel since August 2025.
I thank the Lord for His travelling mercies. After crossing into Zambia from Malawi I went to Ndola to pick up the tracts I left there back in September.
I then travelled to Kabwe, a city along the great north road down to South Africa and up to Cairo, Egypt.
Kabwe is in the Central Region, together with Lusaka.
Kabwe is called the “City of Salvation” and this is because the first European Christian missionary, Dr. David Livingstone camped here before relocating to the city which he named “Livingstone” on the border with Zimbabwe to the south.
In my three days in Kabwe, I was blessed to share tracts at three different places namely New Market, Green Market and Round about areas where there is a very big Sycamore tree used by traders but mainly by Dr David Livingstone in early 1880s.
The Lord brought two helpers who left their merchandise and worked with me in the first day at the New Market.
Reception was very high from the beginning and many people asked questions, promised to call and write incase they need clarification. I encouraged them to go to www.searchinghisword.com and ZionInTravail.com for more teachings.
As is always the case, many questions asked were related to the end of the church age, majority being shocked but agreed to take tracts and for studying at home.
On day 2 and 3
I went to the Green Market North of Kabwe and the round about, met thousands of people, shared tracts and briefly discussed about the church age and the nature of salvation.
What can we say, seeing the true gospel preached to people in Kabwe other than pray that the Lord bless His word into the hearts of many unto salvation.
1 Corinthians 3:6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
May God give the increase
1 John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
I am in Lusaka for now, pleasing to the Lord, tomorrow I am leaving Lusaka for Choma and Mongu to complete the trip.
Before I go, I have a prayer request for my country, Tanzania.
On 29 October general elections were held there but the opposition have rejected the results and therefore my country has plunged into chaos, violent demonstrations which has resulted in death and destruction of property, airports closed and some burnt to ashes, petrol stations, some residential areas… A lot of destruction…
I have not been able to communicate with my two sons since 29 Oct because Internet is not available the borders are closed and an indefinite dusk-to-dawn curfew.
Kindly pray for calmness to return, I hope it will be soon so that I will hear from my sons and also be able to return home after the mission has ended.
Thank you very much.
From Lusaka for Kabwe tracts sharing.
It’s, brother Eric Mutale
[Editor’ note: We’re now calling this Zambia 2025 part3 because in truth this is the third visit of our brother and fellow missionary Eric to Zambia this year, although not to the same cities in every case.
As you may recall, Eric’s second visit was rudely interrupted in September, when he was jailed for 3 days, expulsed and sent back to Tanzania, where he waited patiently and was able after a delay of almost 6 weeks to reenter Zambia in October to finish the mission.
As we read this latest report, let us continue to praise God for his wonderful mercy in allowing us not only to share the gospel but to see his gospel received with great enthusiasm and joy, and young people helping to distribute the tracts. Please continue to pray and consider financially supporting these efforts by donating at the following link:
https://faith.searchinghisword.com/index.php/donate
Every penny goes directly to the sending forth of the true gospel into the world. Can we place a value on the saving of even one soul? How much more when God has promised a great multitude which no man can number shall come forth out of the great tribulation. They can only be saved by hearing the gospel in an environment in which God the Holy Spirit is working, namely outside the local congregations. Thus our efforts should be intensifying as we draw ever nearer to the soon return of our Lord and Savior.]

Hello brother Brad
This report is for Choma City, the capital of the Southern Province of Zambia.
I am thankful to our Lord for His travelling mercies as I continue to share the gospel in Zambia.
Choma City is one of the best in sharing tracts due to its high rate of reception that I saw.
Only a day and a half was enough to even exceed the number of tracts allocated for this city.
On Sunday after personal Bible reading and study, I went out with about 1,000 tracts just to see what the reception would be.
The place I distributed the tracts is known as SPAR area (Choma Garage) where there is a very big market, which was usually deserted on Sundays, super markets, city taxi ranks and roadside sellers.
Like Chinsali in Northern province, there is only one main street which actually is the great North road to Zimbabwe and all the way to South Africa. Here I met many truck drivers who drive trucks in this sub-region but I shared the 1000 tracts at the entry of the market even though there were few people but in like an hour and a half all 1000 tracts were shared.
Day 2-Monday 03 November
Makaranguzu Market
Makaranguzu is the biggest market in the Province and it is a thrice a week market on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The entire province comes here on these three days to buy merchandise for the other towns and villages around the province.
I started the work around 09hrs00 in the morning with over 20,000 tracts.
After arriving at the market I took a video and photos, then I started to share tracts to the people
After about 15 minutes of sharing a group of young people came and asked to help, they were about five, three young women and two young men. In about 10 more minutes four more joined. All these left their works at their own will. After seeing this I decided to talk to them about the gospel first so that they at least understand what they were sharing. They all agreed saying “it is the word of God and so we are very happy to help sharing the tracts to people.”
We then designed a strategy and devided ourselves in teams of two and blanketed the entire market. We were clearly visible by all people, which added to the excitement as people were asking themselves what is happening. From those passing through to those selling in their booths inside the market and along the road that pass through the market. Me and one other young man targeted trucks which were carrying people to and from Choma with their markets. In fact, for many parts of the province, big trucks are their only means of transport. These trucks carry people and goods and it was a joy to share the gospel with them. We talked to the drivers and their passengers and they took tracts to share in their respective towns and villages.
There were moments people will literally “fight” to take tracts, it was so interacting and very joyful day that I can say I have never seen before especially because of the number of workers and the humbleness of Choma or rather Southern province people, majority of whom were young people. Almost no one asked for Tonga or Lozi language tracts, O what a joy it was to share over 20,000 tracts in just about 8 hours and so by 16Hrs00 we finished all the tracts and thus ended the day and Choma City tracts distribution efforts.
These young people told me that every market day attracts almost different people and so one could return today, Wednesday and share thousands of tracts too with very little duplication of efforts.
I am thankful to our Lord who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philipians 2:12-13). I am thankful for raising those eight young people to help in sharing the tracts to the praise and glory of His name, may He be merciful unto each one of them and draw each one of us mightily unto Himself (John 6:44).
Surely
“The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.” (Isaiah 60:6)
Kindly continue to pray for the work of the Lord as we continue to share the gospel on this part of the world, to build the house of David that is broken down.
Yesterday there was no transport to go to Mongu, my last city and province and so I left Choma today and still the bus I took did not take me all the way to Mongu, it ended at a town called Sesheke. I am sure it is the Lord’s plan that I share the gospel here too and so tomorrow morning as I wait for the bus from Livingstone to take me to Mongu, Lord willing, I will share the gospel in this town too.
Again, thank you all for your prayers and financial support to enable the gospel reach our fellow human beings we so desperately need the salvation. We may never see them but as God has promised, surely a great multitude which no one can number is being saved.

[this is the concluding report from our brother and fellow missionary Eric Mutale regarding the tract distribution in the country of Zambia. Please note once again the prevalence of young people enthusiastically receiving and reading the tract and hearing the true gospel for perhaps the very first time. How many might be God’s elect? We do not know, and that is not our business to know, but God knows! PRAISE GOD for such an encouraging report!]
Hello brother Brad,
This report is for Mongu City, the capital of Western province of Zambia.
I am thankful to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ for making it possible for me to arrive in this city on 06 November to complete the tracts distribution trip which started in August 2025 and took me to ten (10) cities of Zambia.
I started sharing the good news along the main street of Mongu around 09hrs00 Zambia time.
Mongu, like Chinsali, is a small city with basically just two main areas where one can share tracts to people which are the main bus station (where also you have the main market nearby) and the main street.
After about an hour of sharing tracts here, one young man came to me and told me about a graduation ceremony going on at Mongu Stadium, about two kilometres from where I was.
I then decided to go to the stadium where I met thousands of people. Due to the fact that the city is small, there was no way I could have shared the number of tracts I shared in Mongu and that for just a few hours.
The graduation ceremony was for nurses and midwives from medical schools from six provinces of Zambia.
Since graduation ceremony occurs only once a year, I could clearly understand it was the Lord who made such a perfect timing. If I had come here in September I could not have done this but most importantly is that there were people from all over Zambia represented by the graduates and their loved ones who came to witness the ceremony.
I do not have words good enough to describe how perfect the timing was and the way I saw with mine eyes how smooth the distribution happened.
There were all kinds of people, hundreds of graduants, secondary and primary school students, traditional entertainers, national and local government officials, practising nurses, midwives, doctors, journalists, photographers and many other groups 95% of which were young people. This was definitely a very big event for the city and province and so it also attracted a large part of Western province and Mongu population in general. Buses, taxis, motorcycles, bicycles dropped and picked people in and around the stadium. It was a spectacular event to witness and sometimes I could not help but stand amazed at the way tracts were finding it’s way from lower to upper parts of the stand, around the stadium. All I did was give a bundle of 100 tracts and people themselves will send it up or around for others to pick.
At first I thought the high rate of reception was prompted by the fact that people thought the tracts were related to what was going on there but at the end, I saw just a few tracts discarded but also I could hear many convincing others to take a tract saying in their local language “Berenga” meaning it’s about God. Still others would say “the church” which was not but nevertheless what matters is that they took tracts and surely met a different message than that from churches.
On the other hand it shows how important it is that the efforts be multiplied because people have a very deep association with churches in this part of the world. To many, churches are the ultimate and that it is unheard of to talk about the end of the church age.
I worked here up to the end of the ceremony and when people were leaving I shared tracts to those in cars too, many many asked for additional tracts to share with loved ones.
O praise the Lord for such a magnificent day in Mongu City, what a day that was and again ONLY the Lord Jesus could make such a perfect timing.
Not much was done the following day, Saturday, at the bus station and the nearby market. The Lord assured my heart I had reached the whole city, province and the country in such a spectacular way.
After discussing with the team which helped me share tracts in Choma, I sent a few remaining hundred tracts to them to share in Livingstone Town, a tourist city with direct routes to Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia and Botswana borders.
Thus ended the August-November 2025 tracts distribution efforts in Zambia
May the Lord bless His work in Zambia and beyond.
Thank you all too for your financial support and prayers without which it is not possible to reach these dear people in this time in which we know the Lord is saving a great multitude which none of us can number.
I am sending two videos highlighting Mongu City tracts distribution.

Mongu City Tract Distribution at Graduation Ceremony
There are many worthy causes today asking for donations, but none hold a candle to the saving of a soul in from eternal death, and the probability of God saving through the proclamation of the true gospel using sources outside the churches has never been greater than in our day when we know that the visible return of Christ is imminent. We also know that Christ will not return until every last one of God’s elect has become saved, and the only means by which God saves is through the proclamation of the TRUE GOSPEL. The only ones qualified and mandated to proclaim the true gospel today are those of us who understand the True Gospel, that it is 100% by grace according to God’s timetable, and that salvation will continue right to the Last Day when we shall see Christ. The urgency to publish the true gospel has never been greater. May the LORD richly bless you as you pray for the work and consider what you can give to our LORD. Remember that Christ declared in Matthew 25 that as we share the gospel, which spiritually is equivalent to clothing the naked and visiting those who are in prison, we are ministering to Christ himself!
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Romans 10:14-15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
