Energized by passion for spreading the gospel, Justina Mwachimota takes the gospel to her world.
Seven years ago, Amai Mwachimota faced the same spiritual problems most Zambians face today-customs led by the local witch doctor. After watching the Jesus film, she knew Jesus was the only Way. She realized that He was more powerful than a curse or beads bestowed by the witch doctor.
This Zambian woman works to show others that Jesus is the Hope for which they are searching.
In Zambia, the family is everything-it means stability and support. For Justina, becoming a Christian meant separation from her family. Justina no longer participates in customary mourning parties for the dead where homebrew is made and drunk with a vengence. Justina no longer looks to the witch doctor for health and strength. In fact, she now teaches against these customs, in deed as well as words.
Justina is a widow and a mother of five children. One of her children just passed away this past year. Life in Zambia is tough.
Justina was voted woman of Africa back in 2001. She works very hard in the eastern province of Zambia. Please pray for her as she ministers to women.
