HISTORY OF KAPANDWE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH




By L.E Florence Hachoombwa (communication secretary)

History plays an interesting role in our lives. Moses told the Isrealites that when you enter Canan, when you have belt good houses remember Egypt, remember that you were once slaves. There is something about remembering our Egypts, we are able to  say with Samuel Ebenezar, " thus far the Lord has led us", you are filled with gratitude, as you watch the different stages in lfe that God has taken you through.  The Church at Kapandwe is able to say" blessed be the name of the Lord".
Kapandwe Seventhday Adventist church is under Chibombo mission district, in a Lenge village l . It is situated opposite Kapandwe primary school.

Pastor Burton Moonga was the district pastor When the church started. One thing he's able to say is that when it started, you would say, "can anything good come out of this place," because  of lack of comittment. Thank God He  has continued to to work in people's lives  and growing his church.
