Missionaries Lipenga & Darlene Banda

Lipenga & Darlene Banda are missionaries working with he Assemblies of God in Zambia. Their ministry involves multiple responsibilities. They are pastors of MissioDei Christian Centre, administrators for the Assemblies of God Bible College, trainers for pastors & Church leadership seminars, speakers for revival meetings in mostly rural areas encouraging the church, and mentors for youth ministry. On a personal note, they have also launched a community school in their home for an hour a day called Hope School to assist the community children in their education.

The Banda's desire is to see people worshipping the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and see God transform a nation for His Glory.

Missiodei Christian Centre

MissioDei christian Centre is a church consumed by the mission of God. It is a body of about 80 adults and 40 children. The church is located in an area of Lusaka, Zambia called Chipata Compound which is a community of 45,000 people who mostly earn a low income by doing small businesses. The church is currently involved in a building project to complete their sanctuary. After that is completed, they will start on classrooms and a multi-purpose hall.

Assemblies of God Bible College

In January 2007, the Assemblies of God bible College was officially opened. The opening of the college was very important since there was a great need to train pastors and church leaders. We see the college being a benefit to the fellowship by providing training, unity, and vision. The mission statement of the college is, "Equipping for Global Missions in the Power of the Holy spirit". We believe that in these last days God is raising up missionaries from ALL NATIONS to ALL NATIONS to bring in the harvest.

Hope School & Youth Ministry

The hope of Africa lies within the youth and the children to be a righteous generation. We have started a community school in our house for an hour a day in order to make an impact on the community children, Youth ministry is also our passion since we believe God wants to use this generation to establish His righteousness. Since they face many challenges, they need Godly examples to mentor them. We interact with the youth at our church along with being speakers for youth camps.

Missionaries Mike & Rebecca Vilumsons

Testimony of Mike Vilumsons

"Burned over 50% of my body at the age of 19. I nearly died. I believe Jesus allowed me to live and saved me from Hell. The doctors told me that I would not be able to function normally enough to do physical work again. I was extremely depressed, began drinking, and nearly every day I wanted to die. I planned to commit suicide. A few years after the burn I was alcoholic, mentally ill, homeless, and suicidal. I ended up at the Gospel Missions, first in Los Angeles, then in Seattle. There I heard the good news that Jesus loved me died for me, and that I could have a new life and forgiveness by beleiving in Him. I prayed to recieve Jesus as my Savior, BUT THE MIRACLE HAPPENED FOR ME ONE DAY AT THE BREAD OF LIFE MISSION WHEN I ASKED JESUS (NOT ONLY TO FORGIVE ME) BUT TO BE THE LORD (THE BOSS!) OF MY LIFE! I was Born Again! Jesus delivered me from drinking that day and progressively brought me out of the mental illness so that I do not take any medication for mental illness today! Jesus is able to deliver YOU TOO!! Call on His name today! I eventually went to Seattle Bible College, where I was a top student and recieved a call to the Mission Field. Now I am happily married to a Pastor's daughter (Becky), and serve in World Outreach Ministry Foundation, in the Prison Ministry, as a full time missionary."

Seguku Prison Ministry

Seguku Prison Ministry is reaching out to the lost and hopeless in the prisons of Uganda (East Africa). The prisoners are in very poor conditions with no medical care and little food. Mike & Rebecca Vilumsons are bringing the life transforming message of Jesus Christ to these men and women, along with regular visits by a trained nurse, medicines, food, and other help. Their goal is to see these prisoners become workers in the Kingdom of God and good citizens.

Seguku Prison Ministry reaches 60 prisons total, and have two full time teams that go out to the prisons, complete with medical ministry. We see hundreds saved every month, on one month recently we had approximately 800 saved, and 1000 treated medically by just one of our teams! We also see God moving with a mighty hand with miraculous healings and deliverance from demons. One of our key evangelists is a released prisoner and is doing great! Many others have been touched by the ministry and are now outside prison and doing well! Some prisons are completely saved (all have answered our altar calls)! We want to continue to reach out to these poor prisoners in the terrible, dangerous prisons in Uganda with life saving medical help and the life changing truth of the GOSPEL! Jesus came to seek and to save the lost!
