LEWIS KALUMBA'S
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE:
Dear Servant of God, Greetings
to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who has risen from
the dead. If you are okay over there...and me here I'm a bit okay
despite the harshness which I'm enduring here in bondage. I thank
God who has given me this time to write to you this letter, I know that
it is not easy to receive a letter from unknown person, and you answer...
For self introduction to you servants of God, I am a prisoner on death
row who is just a victim of circumstance. I'm 38 years old. Married,
Father of 3 daughters and a son left without my hold.
As their mother ran away upon sentencing me to death and she got married
to another man in a far town.
Dear the servants of the most high God, my main aim of writing to you is
for me to establish friendship. I'm looking for someone to correspond
with in your country, help me find a friend who can be encouraging me in
the word of God, it is only through his words we can find real solace.
The scripture affirms it in Thessalonion 4.
If we are to develop deep, meaningful spiritual friendships, we will
have to admit our need for Love and learn how to recieve it. Most
of us are far more comfortable keeping our needs to ourselves and giving
to supply the needs of others. But even Paul testifies to the power
of admitting need and receiving help from others.
Dear servants of the most high, now, I let you know that I am a Congolese
by nationality, I was just come to settle here in Zambia. My family
live far, away in Congo (DRC) Zaire foreign country. No one of my
relative come to visit me here in prison. My sole reason for writing
this letter...is that I am a poor suffering soul, "reproach has broken my
heart,I'm full of heaviness, I looked for someone to take pity but here has
been none, and for comforters but I have found none. "...This prison is situated
and I come from pauper family, such that finding transport money is a very
big problem to them, thats the reason why, for me to found even toiletries
is a big problem. Our prisons have reached the alarming level where
by, prisoners are requested to buy their own food in order to feed themselves.
And this is happening not only to those who come from well to do families.
But has to people like me who come from a pauper family, I tell you
it is a sad story. We just surviving by the mercy of God. I
will be most grateful if my request is taken into consideration. I
am thirst for his word. Lastly I look forward to hear from you. May
the Lord God Bless you and perfect you in his Love to do that which is pleasing
in his sight. Prov 25: 25. ...May the good Lord guide you in all your
endevours and bless you and your family abundantly. Yours in Christ, from
death row,
