WE ARE A BIBLE-BELIEVING, GOD-FEARING,SPIRIT FILLED AND MISSION MINDED MINISTRY.OUR MOTHER CHURCH IS BASED IN MALI,   W.AFRICA. Our Vision “Reaching the hurting world with the healing gospel of our Lord Jesus”, a vision we will continue to fulfill until the coming of our Lord Jesus. Our church, called Oasis Gospel Ministries, started as a small fellowship of 4 English-speaking people. We felt the need to come together and worship the Lord in our national language (English) in this French speaking land of Mali; this was in 1993. Two years later, the Lord spoke to us about officially registering as a church and this we did in March 1995, thereby becoming a non-denominational church of about 45 members at its nascence. ​ We’ve sent missionaries to France, where two churches have been planted so far, with a team of ministers activily reaching out to the population and envisioning more church plants. Our work in Nigeria is also moving forward with two missionaries now sent, one to the south and the other to the north. Church planting efforts are presently going on, with the specific target of recruiting more missionaries from the fertile christian field of Nigeria. Other african countries are gradually opening up […]

We are a multi-cultural church comprising of people from all walks of life. Our sole desire is to see Christians grow in the image of Jesus Christ to become mature believers equipped for works of service. We believe that this comes through preaching of the apostolic gospel of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified, exposure to the gifts of the five fold ministry and the work of the Spirit of God in our lives. Avondale Christian Church was planted in Harare by Bulawayo Christian Centre in 1995. We believe the that Church is a spiritual construction by God himself.

We invite you to come fellowship with us every Sunday at 0930hrs at the Avondale Primary School Beit Hall, at the corner of King George and Aberdeen Rd, Avondale.  God is doing supernatural things in our lives. ADDRESS: Corner of King George Rd and Aberdeen Rd, Avondale, Harare.

BACKGROUND The police force was created by Cecil John Rhodes’s Pioneers when he was the Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. Since Cecil John Rhodes had accumulated much wealth through Diamond and Gold mining, he decided to invade the land between Limpopo and Zambezi rivers with a view to acquire more wealth. In July 1890, he recruited and trained 200 men, which became the British South Africa Company Police. The ruthless unsympathetic attitude of Rhodes towards the lives of the blacks strongly influenced the historical trend of the police force. The historic analysis of the occupation of Zimbabwe by the imperialists represented by the ambitious Cecil John Rhodes cannot be complete without talking about the Police. The police by then was called the British South Africa Company Police [BSACP], which was established after the signing of the Rudd Concession and the subsequent granting of the Royal Charter by the British Government in 1889. William Bodle who became the Commissioner in 1903 mooted the idea of the police in 1889. Lieutenant Colonel Penne Father led the Pioneer column into this country in 1890. The column had over 500 strong policemen who acted as military escort for the settlers. The police was […]

Bread of Life Church International (BLCI) was born from a prophetic word on 13th September 1992 from a small Baptist Church with 120 members, situated at plot # 136 Chinyunyu Road in Lusaka’s Emmasdale – Zambia. The prophetic word “I am giving you thousands, you will possess the land and feed the people with the Bread of life” was later transformed to “Bringing thousands into the Kingdom” which was in line with the vision of the church. However, the vision has now been transformed to ‘Bringing Tens of Thousands into the Kingdom’. The prophetic word has proved to be the power of God behind Bishop Joe Imakando’s work as the Church keeps on growing rapidly over the years from 120 to 9,500 members, whose composition includes people of different status. The church cuts across different cultures, creed and colour, embracing nationalities from various countries in line with its international status. To date, the church has established 101 mission churches in Zambia with 12 based in foreign countries. That includes DR Congo (2), South Africa (1) , Australia (2), Malawi (1), United Kingdom (2), Mozambique (1), Namibia (1), Tanzania (2). Apart from that, Bread of Life Church also runs a weekly […]

History of UPF Pre-colonial Policing and Justice Systems Like in colonial days, the police force largely remains an authoritarian instrument of state control of the public, taming perceived opponents of the state and for enforcing law and public order. Before the creation of the Uganda Police there was a traditional method of dispute resolution. Uganda then had four kingdoms: Buganda, Ankole, Bunyoro-Kitara and Toro. There were also other organized areas like Busoga, Bugisu, Teso, Acholi and Lango, all of which had cultural norms and systems of social control. Every tribal community had its own social policing method based on customary rules and obligations. The kings and elders policed the wide communities; the elders policed villages while men policed their families. The elderly in general were responsible for enforcing discipline among the youth. Police is born Crimes were defined by the respective tribal community according to their agreed cultural norms and values. Punitive measures for cases of indiscipline would be determined by a council of elders. When Uganda became a British protectorate in 1894, a judicial system based on the British common law was imposed with the backing of an armed police force. Hence, the Uganda Police Force was first established as […]

The Flaming Evangelical Ministries was founded by Bishop Frederick Abu Sidique Koroma in January 1987 in response to a burning desire from the Lord to win the lost for Christ.  In those early days before the Church started, Brother Abu as he was fondly called will always ask some brothers like Bro. Desmond Thomas, Bro. Donald Ken Leigh, Bro. Donald Opeyemi Nicol to name a few to join him in fasting and prayer and go with him on retreat as the pregnancy to win the lost for Christ becomes more obvious until birth was given to a new born Flaming Baby.   It is an indigenous Christian body that is committed to the propagation of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the barren areas of Sierra Leone.  It is an independent and self supporting multi-faceted Ministry/Church.  It started its first Church service in a small Classroom at the Prince of Wales Secondary School, Kingtom through the able assistance of the then Principal of the School, Mr. Horatio Nelson-Williams.  The motto: of the Ministry/church is “….and how shall they hear without a preacher…….” Roms 10:13-15.  This Church which was started at Prince of Wales through the special grace of God started […]

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE SIERRA LEONE POLICE FORCE INTRODUCTION The art and science of policing have been perceived differently by different sociologists. This variance in perceptions has warranted various definitions. For some social theorists, the term `Police` connotes a group of people employed to investigate crime. A critical examination of this definition gives the reader (s) an insight into the duties and functions of the Police. Modern policing demands a broader definition. Hence, `Police` can now be defined as `an organised group of people employed, trained and charged with the following responsibilities: Maintaining law and order Preventing and detecting crime Enforcing law Regulating traffic flow of vehicles and pedestrians Investigating crimes and prosecuting offenders Ensuring the safety and security of the people Protecting life and property Apprehending offenders BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SIERRA LEONE POLICE The Sierra Leone Police Force is the brainchild of the British Government. Its inception dates back to 1808 when Freetown was declared a British Crown Colony. In the absence of any formal organised body to keep the peace, some retired British Non-Commissioned Officers and Privates were appointed by Magistrates to come to Sierra Leone to maintain law and order. Between 1863 -1888, the then Police […]

CCR HISTORY Dave and Jana Jenkins were sent to Rwanda in 2005 by The Springs Church in Oklahoma City, U.S.A. to plant a church in Kigali. The vision was to reach out to Rwandan Diaspora who were returning to Rwanda to rebuild their nation, and were looking for a church experience that fit the unique needs of their international families. CCR quickly evolved into reaching an even more diverse international group of English speaking people, but continues to serve many of the Rwandan Diaspora today. As the Jenkins met and spoke with Rwandans a theme of a non-denominational English-speaking church with a strong children’s ministry and Bible based teaching became the foundation of the church plant. Two years later the vision and foundational ideas became Christ’s Church Rwanda. CCR remains true to those core themes today. Christ’s Church Rwanda had our first official gathering in 2007 in our current building located in Gaculiro, Vision 2020 Estates . The facility had been purchased that same year by Rwanda Outreach and Community Partners (ROC) as a gathering place for CCR. Dave Jenkins served as the Senior Pastor of CCR until March 2012 when a transition was made to Brett Shreck as the […]

Welcome to Rwanda National Police To achieve our mission requires a strong partnership with you, the people we serve. This website will provide you with useful information related to crime and you can access some services online. This website will therefore provide us a significant opportunity to serve you better. RNP History Prior to and immediately after the Rwandan Patriotic Front and Army (RPF/A) liberated Rwanda on 4th July 1994, Rwanda had several Para-military and Civil defense forces entrusted to keep law and order. These included the Gendarmerie Nationale under the Defense ministry, the Communal Police under the Ministry of Interior and the Judicial Police Inspectors under the Ministry of Justice. In the year 2000, the Government of Rwanda thought it wise to have an organized, well coordinated and professional police force that would effectively deal with security challenges that were relatively high at the time. This led to the merger of the three institutions in June 2000, which had the Policing and law and order functions at the time, forming the Rwanda National Police (RNP). Law No 09/2000 of June 16, 2000 determines the powers, responsibilities, organization and functioning of the institution as  amended later by the law No […]

DAY OF REMEMBRANCE: NAMIBIAN POLICE The first normal policing in the country was done by the German “Kaiserliche  Schutztruppe” as part of their overall responsibilities. However on 1st MARCH 1905 the first police for was established in the form of the “Kaiserliche Landespolizei fur Deutsch Sudwestafrika. During 1907 this force reached an establishment of 400 members and during the same year it took delivery of its first motor vehicle.  However, the horse and camel remains for years the standard means of transport.  Camels were mostly used at places like Stampriet, Tsinsabis and Witdraai.  The last camels were withdrawn from service just after the Second World War. The period of policing by the “Landespolizei” ceased with the South African invasion during the First World War, where after policing again falls within a military formation.  Five regiments of the South African Mounted Rifleman stayed in the country on garrison and policing duties after the withdrawal of the South African Main Force. In the meantime the recruiting of a military police force commenced in Bloemfontein (South Africa) and during February 1916, the new force took over the policing function with 52 officers and 1100 other ranks. Also during 1916 a Training Centre with […]

Our History THE BEGINNING OF ASSEMBLIES OF GOD On July 4, 1947, a contingent of four Missionary units of Assemblies of God arrived at Chimbewa Village in Ntcheu.  They included one team from Tanganyika (now Tanzania) and another one from South Africa.  They joined a host Pentecostal group known as the “Full Gospel Church,” led by Laiton Kalambule.  The missionaries included Paul Derr, Ragnar Udds, Morris Williams and Magnus Udds from Tanganyika, while Fredrick Burke, Paul Wright, and Moody Wright came from South Africa.   The Assemblies of God Missionaries discussed with Laiton Kalambule that the “Full Gospel Church should become affiliated with the General Council of the Assemblies of God in United States of America.  Kalambule’s group accepted and they formed the Assemblies of God in East Africa. In the early years, the Assemblies of God in Nyasaland was led by an Executive Council that supervised two fields – Nyasaland and Tanganyika.  Later in Nyasaland, three workers Council’s were organized to oversee the work in the three regions of the country. Missionary Fred Burke acted as the first Chairman of this workers council.  Missionary Morris Williams served as Secretary in the beginning.  In 1960, H. B. Garlock assumed the […]

The Malawi Police Service Website has been developed in response to the growing demand by the general public to seek information from the Service. It is hoped that this will create a forum where members of the community within the country and even outside will have a chance of reporting any cases to do with their safety and security. This will, in the process, lead to effecting arrests of crime perpetrators. It is also a forum where Police will be accountable to members of the society on how it is performing its duties. People will be able to contribute on how best they want their Police to deliver its services. The website is a means of tip anonymous of any crime and criminology that you see happening in your localities. This website strives to bridge the gap between the Malawi Police Service and the community we serve. It is an information piece that presents safety and security events in terms of criminals who have been nabbed and major community and Police activities that have taken place. It is a forum which gives crime prevention tips to the general public and further gives a feed forward to how community members together […]
