Postcard from Africa: Zambia

Twenty-six-year-old Lister Mbewe was a heavy drinker before she came to know Jesus as her Lord and Saviour. She details her journey to becoming a born-again Christian.

Lister operated a small business selling tomatoes and charcoal at the market, which was thriving. However, over time, her excessive drinking led to the downfall of her business and made her life unbearable.

After being invited by one of her daughters to a screening of a Jesus Film, Lister had a change of heart. Witnessing the portrayal of Jesus’ suffering moved her deeply, leading her to confess her sins and embrace Him in her life.

Lister Mbewe, who had never before attended church services, now regularly participates in and is dedicated to basic Bible study classes (discipleship). Her transformation has brought joy to her family, demonstrating the impact of God’s work in her life.
