Review: In Christ Alone

Review: In Christ Alone

As we think of some songs, they bring back memories of times where they helped us and gave us strength. For me, one such song is “In Christ Alone”. There was a time back in 2020-2021 where there was great fear here in Zambia including here in Ikelenge. Unknown persons were spraying poisonous deadly gas into people’s homes and some were dying because of it. Communities took things into their own hands and organized bands of youth to roam around and run to wherever there was a call for help. It was certainly a fearful time and the whole country…

Review: I have found a friend in Jesus

Review: I have found a friend in Jesus

Once the youth learned this song it was immediately the favorite song of the year and was chosen each meeting for practically that whole year! It is a wonderful song, with amazing words written under such challenging circumstances that the truth of the song rings out loud and clear. I’ve linked to a wonderful production of "I have found a friend in Jesus" (Otherwise known as "The Lily of the Valley") by Fountainview Academy. Here are the words of the song from Hymnary.org: Verse 1:I have found a friend in Jesus-He's ev'rything to me,He's the fairest of ten thousand to…

Introducing Chejeji FM’s new website

It is the dawn of a new era in Ikelenge District. The community radio station Nsulu Radio has just received it’s license to operate and Chejeji FM has just launched their website (ChejejiFM.com) as they get ready to apply for their broadcasting license. Ikelenge has been a district for a number of years now and still does not have a radio station broadcasting to the community! So it is exciting to think that the opportunity to speak to all in our community through the medium of radio will soon be available. It is even more exciting that one of the…

Review: Our God, He is alive

Review: Our God, He is alive

“There is a God, He is alive.” or “Our God, He is alive.” is a wonderful song, full of good truth sung to an amazing tune. I love the way the song flows. Here are the lyrics from hymnary.org: 1 There is, beyond the azure blue, a God concealed from human sight, He tinted skies with heav'nly hue and framed the worlds with His great might. Refrain: There is a God, He is alive, in Him we live, and we survive; From dust our God created man, He is our God, the great I AM. 2 There was, a long,…

A bit about Chejeji

A bit about Chejeji

The people behind Chejeji.com are a group of Christians who desire to be a light (“chejeji”) to our district of Ikelenge, those who have originated from here, and also anyone else who is interested in God’s Word. As you can see, our logo is made of of a candle and the word “Chejeji”. The inspiration for the logo comes from Matthew 5:14-16 which says: You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light…

Review: Self – When you’ve tried everything

Review: Self – When you’ve tried everything

“Self – When you’ve tried everything” is based on a true story of a man’s journey from addiction to freedom from addiction. Joshua Wright, actor, director, author and who this story is based on, has broken this short video into two parts: Part 1 is a short clip of the Joshua’s journey and Part 2 shows Joshua discussing his journey in length and explaining what worked and what didn’t work - truly only by God’s grace can someone truly beat addiction. We watched this with the youth in our Bible study group and really enjoyed it. Part 2 has many…

Is suicide the answer?

Is suicide the answer?

Dear Friend: Maybe you have concluded: it is best to end it all… you can’t handle life any more… your family would be better without you… But, is suicide the answer? Have you thought of where you are going? Maybe you are seeking to be free from the judging eyes of family, friends or the community, but do you know what comes after death? Is it truly the release you are looking for? God who SEES all and KNOWS all tells us that “after death comes judgment” (Heb 9:27b) Are you ready for that final judgment? Are you ready to meet your…

Introducing Chejeji.com

A very well known verse from the book of Ecclesiasties says the following: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;” (Ecclesiasties 3:1-2) Almost everything we know has a beginning, and so this is the start of Chejeji.com. Like a seed which was planted starts to grow in a hidden place but then one day the new plant pokes it’s head out into the real world, Chejeji has been hidden…
