Jesus
said to his disciples: Mathew 28. 18
Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands
I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Special Easter 2012
Easter is the best time ever in our life!
Please come to learn more about prophesy on Jesus, Passover, and how his Resurrection gives you
life and healing.
John 11.25. “I am the resurrection and the life’’
Luke 24.5. “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?’’

Fabrice Mwamba is recovering well and
is no longer in the hospital. In his first interview, he said that ''I asked God to protect me... he didn't let
me down''. God is real and alive, and this testimony revealed that the living God is aple to give life where is death.
Please Trust him.
Praise the Lord! According to the recent statement, Fabrice Muamba can speak, eat and can breathe independently
without a ventilator. For many doctors, family members and Bolton team, Fabrice recovery is a miracle. As believers, we have
been asking for a miracle, and God, who is full of mercy, has given us a miracle, which is Fabrice’s healing. Jesus
said in the Bible, John Chapter 11, and verses 25: “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will
live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this,…?”
Are you facing challenge? Remember that ‘’there hope for your future’’
according to Jeremiah 31.17. Pastor Kayonda Hubert Ngamaba, Bsc(Hons), MA, PhD research student - 25/03/2012
Praise the Lord! According to the recent statement, Fabrice Muamba is showing signs of improvements;
he can speak, move his arm and legs, and can breathe independently without a ventilator. Fabrice Muamba is able to recognise
family members and to respond to questions. Jesus said ‘I am the resurrection and the life’ (John 11.25). We believe
in miracle and we need a miracle for Fabrice Muamba. Fabrice needs your prayer. Thank you for support to Fabrice and Family.
Pastor Kayonda Hubert Ngamaba Bsc(Hons), MA - Monday, 19/03/2012
Pray for Fabrice Muamba. He remains in critical
conddition after cardiac arrest.

23
year old, Fabrice Muamba was born in the Congolese capital of Kinshasa, but came to Britain at an early age with his family.
He graduated through the youth ranks at Arsenal, and was a regular for England at Under-21 level. He currently played for Bolton wanderers. On Saturday the 17 March 2012,
Muamba collapsed. London Chest Hospital and Bolton Wanderers have confirmed that Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest during Saturday's FA Cup tie against Tottenham and the midfielder
remains in critical condition in intensive care.
Our church is praying for him.

1 Corinthians 12
1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Acts
2.1-4
1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it
filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and
it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues,
as the Spirit gave them utterance.



Bill Fowler (78 years old) died suddenly on Saturday the 10th April 2010 because of a heart attack.
Bill and his wife Doreen been missionary in DR Congo in Africa in the 1950s. That could explain how their everyday life is
very close to African people. Bill Fowler has been in our church since 2005, and he was preaching every third Sunday of each
month until the end of 2009. Bill was helping many of us to improve our English, to build self-confidence, and trust God.
One of his last preaching was about the second coming of Jesus, and He describes how great life will be in the heaven, according
to 1 Corinthians 15:52 and 1 Thessalonic 4:13. What we know is that we will see him in the heaven. Doreen his wife needs
our prayers, and she stills a great joy and blessing for us. Her health is not good since last winter but God is in control.
In his last text message on the 5th April 2010 Bill said to me ‘’Dear Pastor, Back from holiday.
Doreen not very well, please prays for her. Love to all. God bless. Bill and Doreen’’. Just to show how close
they been one another. In the name of Ephrata Church, I, my family and all members of Ephrata church present our condolences
to Doreen and her family. God bless all of us. Pastor Kayonda Hubert Ngamaba.
The funeral will be on Thursday the 22nd April 2010 at Westhoughton U.R.C.
at 1.15pm. The address is Park Road, Westhougton, Bolton, BL5 3DE.

On Wednesday 11 March 2009- Esperant Kayonda – the winner of school Idol
School Idol is a nationally organised competition
which will feature the winner recording in a professional studio and singing live on the BBC Children In Need programme in
November. The Smithills
heat of School Idol featured all the finalists from the school’s highly successful 2009 X Factor final earlier in the
year together with a number of new acts invited to participate by Mr Gibbs and Miss Flemming. Whilst the judges deliberated
as to who had won, once again Vogue took to the stage to sing two songs, one of which was their new single release Twilight.
When the judges had finished their deliberations and all the audience votes had also been counted too, the two winning acts
chosen to participate in the regional final to be held later in the year were singers Dena Poorkhataie and Esperant Kayonda.
Dena sang Black Velvet as superbly as ever whilst Esperant sang Alleluja with the passion and feeling that have become his
trademark. The judges were so amazed at the standard of the Smithills heat that they also chose to put through a third act
too, the rock group Counterpoint. Once
again our school hall was packed and a great night was enjoyed by equal numbers of pupils and adults in the audience.

Rev Ricky is a man of God with a great testimony. We
been so blessed!
The Evangelist Rev. Ricky
Leonard from USA
have a great testimony
Transported to Morton F. Plant Hospital
in Clearwater, Dr. R. Clinton Pittman was the neurosurgeon on duty that evening, where I underwent surgery for over 7 hours.
The doctor removed lead and bone fragments imbedded in my brain up to 3 inches deep! Later, the doctor told my mother, that
‘’if’’ I recovered I would be paralyzed, have severe brain damage, loss of motor skills, balance and
coordination.
GOD IS GOOD
Healed! No more paralysis, brain
damage, epilepsy, loss of equilibrium and no more asthma!
