Greetings,

Could someone kindly help me translate this article into the brilliant and wonderful Bemba language? Please.

The "True Jesus Church" is an independent church that was established in Beijing, China in 1917. Today, there are approximately 1.5 million members in forty five countries and six continents. The church belongs to the Pentecoatsl branch of Christianity that emerged during the early twentieth century. They aim to preach the gospel to all nations before the Second Coming of Jesus. The ten main doctrines and beliefs of the church are:

1. Holy Spirit
2. Baptism
3. Feet Washing
4. Holy Communion
5. Sabbath Day
6. Jesus Christ
7. The Bible
8. Salvation
9. The church
10. Final Judgement

Your help would be very Gratefully Appreciated, Thankyou very much.

[Amazing]

Why would Bemba speaking people want the Chinese to come and preach to them the "gospel" when that job's been done by others long long time ago! It,s bad enough to swindle the last coin from a poor mans pocket, but brainwashing is the last thing Humanity needs right now.
Bemba speaking people amoung others needs:
1. Peace
2. Food "on the tables"
3. Good Health System & Services
4. Good Education
5. Jobs
6. A happy life here and now
7. Soical recreaction clubs for everyone
8. Freedom of choice
9. Watch out for the "enemies" and know their friends.
10. Plenty of Kwacha,s to spend just like everyone would!!!!

Kindly, beleive me, we Bembas in Zambia deserve what we deserve. We have made Zambia . All vissionary leaders are Bembas - Kalusha Bwalya , Dr. Kenneth Kaunda ( Trained and Born by Bembas), Dr. Fredrick Titus Chiluba , etc.

Thank you

[kaonde]

you are kidding me Bembas have made Zambia?? NO wonder Sata is not welcome in other provices because he is sacastic to other tribes. Keep on being bossy!! and good luck having a bemba president again. Kaunda always said ONe Zambia One Nation he was a great president and good thing he was not bemba.
God bless Zambia

Bemba have made Zambia? Bemba is the most important language in Zambia? Why do I believe that this post was started by Bemba? What would happen if were to let the 2 Bemba speaking provinces go back to Zaire? I think the country would be better off. The remaing 7 provinces would of honest and hard working people, and the level of crime would go down. If Chiluba is the paragon of Bemba success, then the country has no future. Chiluba who began lefe as Titus Kafupi ans stole the name Frederick Chiluba from another man may be the best example of how Bembas get ahead, but to the rest of us, he was an embarassment and a disaster. He had no concept whatsoever, of running a country, and instead he ran it down. In keeping expectations, he was a thief.

As for Kalusha Bwalya, he is a patriot and better example of all Zambians should try to be... but do not give him more credit than he deserves. The best President Zambia had was Levi Mwanawasa. Even after the Bembas destroyed most of his brain in an accident, he had enough common sense to impliment progressive policies, and to the extent possible, repair some of the extensive damage wrought to the country by the Bemba style leadership of Titus "Frederick Chiluba" Kafupi...

Fortunately, the other Bemba disaster, Michael Sata, was denied the Presidency. I am sure there are many good Bembas, some are now married into my family, but as long as Zambia remains, the Bemba will never hoodwink the country into voting another Bemba into the predidency

In my view this ethinicity thing is what has plunged our beloved country to be were it is now. Dr Kaunda tried his level best to bring all the ethinic groups together but after 1991 all this was history. Our country has never been more divided than today and for me as a Zambian this is a sad story for our Nation.
It matters less whether one is Bemba, Kaonde, lozi.... and so on so forth what is important is that we are Zambians and we love our country. If we are going to be productive and develope our country we should look beyond ethinicity. We have an upcoming generation and we should think about their future. I have stayed in South Africa for three years now and because of this mentality of creating ethinic boundaries-I have seen less unity. I may say when you are in a foreign country the thinking of most of the Zambians is- "God for us all and each one for himself" My prayer is that we go beyond the tribal bounderies we are a family as Zambians.

Philip please stay away from mother Zambia. You have no idea that you are causing some tribal conflicts about your statements. Go do more research or just preach in Chinese.

People have very funny ideas about Africa. May be he read somewhere they said the majority of Zambians speak Chibemba. Wait until he tries to address his congregation in Bemba and only 10% understands.
