“I am privileged to be among the believers of our Lord Jesus
who had the grace to hear the preached word of God by God’s humble servant Dr.
Joan Hust at Saint Marks’ United Church of Zambia in the mining town of
Chingola on Copperbelt Province. Between 1979 and 1981, as a schoolboy I
attended children’s lessons conducted by Joan. She prepared easy methods for
the hearers such as Muppets, drama etc. All these lessons were Christ-centered
hence touching the heart of the young seekers in the mining town of which I was
included. Many of us got born again at a tender age through the preaching of
the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ by God’s servant Joan Hust.
We had a Television program called CLUBHOUSE of which Joan
was the moderator. Because of Joan’s emphasis on Bible reading, some of the
boys and girls were able to read the Bible through from cover to cover. Deeply
convicted by what we had read, we developed an intense hatred for sin. Every
week, we could meet as a community of young believers. I remember some friends
like Clement Muwele, the late Henry Simukoko, Vivian Nakawala Simwanza, Gladys
Simwanza, Judy Simwanza and Joseph Banda, who have all grown in the fear of the
Lord. This is because of the
foundational teaching given to us as we had to surrender to Jesus at a tender
age. The light of heaven broke into many of the souls in the young boys and
girls in Chingola regardless of their denomination during the ministry of Joan
Hust.
Joan with godly wisdom used the Muppet shows to deliver the
gospel to the children. I am really humbled to be part of the few people who
witnessed the ministry of Joan Hust in Zambia and now serve the Lord as a
preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the RURAL OUTREACH MINISTRIES. Many
of us were born again through the ministry of Joan Hust because the lady
preaches the gospel of the risen Christ.”
