Bread of Life Church International regrets the incident that happened on Saturday 19^th November 2011 during the Dedication Service of the Blessing Centre. During the special service just when Presiding Bishop Joe Imakando was about to invite the guest speaker Pastor E. A Adeboye to preach and dedicate the building, a strong storm came in from the eastern side and blew off a piece of the ceiling which hit one of the members severing his face. The Elders rushed him to hospital, unfortunately he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The storm also left a trail of destruction in the neighborhood resulting in roofs ripped off, security walls brought down, loss of lives, trees falling on a car to mention but a few.

As Bread of Life Church we wish our deepest condolences to the entire church family in general and in particular the family of Mr. Arton Nyirenda. We also pray for the community at large and families in the Emmasdale area whose properties and homes were also damaged by the storm.

Bread of Life Church International Lusaka on Sunday 6th November 2011 held the last joint service at the Emmasdale church (plot 136 Chinyunyu road). It was the last as the church prepares to move to the Blessing Centre on 19th of November. All the branch churches including Lusaka west, Kalundu, Chawama and Kanyama and for the first time Chilanga and Kafue church were in attendance. The service was filled with an air of excitement as the congregation praised God with songs led by the various praise teams from the branches.

Bishop Joe Imakando was in Western Province of Zambia for Three Days of Power conference in Mongu and a One day conference in the town of Lukulu. The meetings were power packed as Bishop taught and ministered with authority and the power of God was manifest as many were touched by God. Hundreds gave their lives to the Lord and were delivered from demonic oppression.

The long awaited opening of the Blessing Centre is finally here. On the 19th of November 2011 Bread of Life church International (BLCI) and the rest the nation will witness the dedication of the Blessing Centre. The event will be graced by political, Civil and religious leaders.
