His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.-2 Peter 1:3
Too many believers treat salvation like fire insurance. They are happy to have their ticket to heaven but fail to fulfill their responsibility to grow spiritually now. Moved by such common negligence, Conrad Mbewe encourages us to pursue a fruitful life by considering how God equips Christians to grow and the value of diligently striving for godliness. Based on 2 Peter 1, this is a pastoral charge for Christians to keep on growing!
Church planting and revitalization is a unique ministry. Filled with its own challenges, pastors and church leaders have often struggled in their labors. Thankfully, the apostle Paul imparted his wisdom to his young disciple Titus through a brief, power-packed letter full of encouragement and instruction. In like manner, this collection of writings from seasoned pastors, planters, and church revitalizers contains hundreds of years of combined wisdom and experience. Old and new pastors alike will be edified and spurred on by this compilation of wise counsel and godly instruction. Dear Titus serves as a helpful companion for any church planter or leader at any stage of their ministry.
Pastor Conrad Mbewe Explores the Biblical Role of the Church, with a Focus on Africa
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Christians in Africa numbered approximately nine million—by the end, that number had grown to more than 380 million. As the number of Christians continues to grow, African pastors are often overwhelmed and in desperate need of guidance.
Drawing from 3 decades of pastoral experience in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe has written a
comprehensive handbook specifically for African pastors and church leaders. Structured around 20 commonly asked questions about God's design for the church, this helpful resource covers topics ranging from the definition of church and the role of church members to the importance of doctrine. Through this book, Mbewe aims to equip pastors and leaders with biblical principles that will 'permeate the landscape of Africa and transform its churches for generations to come.'

Exploring Unity as a Fruit of the Gospel
Christians most effectively serve others and advance God's kingdom when they are in biblical unity with one another. Unfortunately, modern Christians seem to be divided on countless issues related to ministry, culture, the church, and even unity itself. Some prioritize organizational unity over gospel truth, while others only seek unity with those who share their same doctrinal beliefs.
In this short, accessible guide, author Conrad Mbewe explores unity as a fruit of the gospel. He finds that biblical unity is only achieved after understanding what God has done through Christ and how it is continuously executed by the Holy Spirit. This biblically centered book encourages readers to respond to Paul's apostolic plea of 'standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel' (Phil. 1:27), embracing unity as a valuable, God-given blessing.
