Former First Lady Vera Tembo Chiluba has disclosed that she has responded to the call for pastorate.

Mrs. Chiluba made the announcement at the Catholic Cathedral Church Hall of Mansa Diocese on Saturday during her visit to Fatima Home that takes care of orphans.

Mrs Chiluba said she was a new Pastor coming into the main arena and was still learning the word of God.

She disclosed that in learning the word of God, she has already founded a Church called ‘Healing International Ministry’.

She said she was also the founder of ‘Hope Foundation’ because she has a passion for looking after children and welcoming visitors.

Mrs Chiluba said looking after children was her gift from God because she wanted to be practical with her faith and beliefs about God.

She explained that even her accompanying the first lady Esther Lungu to Mansa was a way of giving a helping hand to the current first lady because she has been first lady before.

And Mrs Lungu said she was proud to have Mrs Chiluba in her entourage because of her charismatic flair, tested wisdom and ability to easily connect with her audience.

    • Iyi ni mid-life crisis manje Ba Vera … you can’t teach before you are certified to do so. You said it yourself, you are learning the Word.

      Awe shuwa mwe … Zambia twa sebana.

    • VERA HAS A LOT OF MONEY WHICH HER HUSBAND STOLE FROM US AND NOW SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. STEALING AND LOOTING THE COUNTRY OF ITS MERGER RESOURCES BY POLITICIANS IS BECOMING A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS IN ZAMBIA, BECAUSE ZAMBIAN LAW IS SLEEPING!

    • Please fellow Zambians.let us differentiate between Vera and Regina’s deeds.Vera was divorced by Chiluba and we Zambians never stood for her during the time of persecutions.She is the only first lady whose foundation is still standing among all the former first ladies.
      THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH ANSWERING THE CALL OF GOD.
      LET’S NOT BE QUICK TO JUDGE HER.SHE NEVER BEEN PROSECUTED.ASK REGINA WHERE THE MONEY IS.
      MAMA VERA PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON YOUR CALL.
      ZAMBIANS HAVE A PHD (PULL HIM DOWN) SYNDROME FOR THEIR FELLOW ZAMBIANS.

    • 1.6 Prophetic Voice. I thought Vera committed adultery with that business man who was sent to jail and injected with TB which killed him.

    • she insults her lord everyday by bleaching her self like that and wearing horse hair on her head.

  1. You need to repent mama. Remember that sin you committed with someones husband… Yes repent repent and ask for forgiveness because you did not know what you were doing until it happened to you!
    Please do not preach about your past in your church as most ladies may fall into the same trap. Repent!

    • who told u that she has not repented? are u God to know all her heart. how about that sin you committed, have u repented? if vera has heard from God and you have not heard, let her?

    • My brother, who are you to judge? Judge ver not in order for you not to be judged. Let her preach the word of God. I will atend her Church Service mpaka nkaye imwena. But I shall not judge. Naitaba ubwite Vera. Go mama go.

    • Has she told you that she has not repented?. It is between herself and God. Or do you want her to repent to you?

    • John 8:7
      But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

    • Vera never committed adultery. That allegation was a way for Chiluba to divorce. Mc triboy’s wife knows of this fact, she was actually paid by Chiluba to scandalise Vera

  2. What wisdom is Esther Lungu seeing in Vera? Isn’t Vera the phone sex expert who was cumming in State House at the voice of Mactribuoy?

  3. Gentlemen, we have all sinned before God. And there is always room for repentance. Let’s not condemn her to hell. She is human.

    • Brain shaker.Most of us think like Jakopo,
      The Question is;
      How Many Churches did Christ Ordain when he said on this Rock I will build my Church? Does each name represent a separate Church?

  4. One’s past does not count in God’s eyes.He who turns to God is blessed and blessed are those that listen to he who turns to God.
    God bless you mama Vera and I ask God’s blessings on you to shower on many lives including mine?

  5. ” Mrs chiluba said looking after children was a gift from God and because she wanted to be practical with her faith and beliefs about God” this is undoubtedly true. Chiluba had children from the first wife but vera never mistreated them,infact unlike Mauren,very few people can identify chiluba’s children from the first wife because vera adopted them as her own.this is one of reason ftj married her after being deserted by the first wife.very is a mother by nature.

    • My brother you have spoken the truth. On that fateful day when her thieving husband, whom I have also forgiven because I know God has forgiven him also, was being burried the picture of Vera surrounded by her children remains imprinted on my mind. Compared to Regina who was crying loudest I saw a sense of motherhood and true love in Vera. I was pleasantly surprised to learn some of those children who all appeared to be hers were not actually her own biological children. I still remember how the Hope Foundation transformed lives. I am therefore, impressed to see Mama Lungu working with mama Vera Tembo the Former First lady. Remember vera remains the most loved former First Lady. She is the first big personality to take to preaching in Zambia. God bless Mama Vera. God bless Mama Lungu.

  6. B R Mumba, Kano Nga nibo. You and your brother Ramson have gotten wealthy through the church. Don’t be a hypocrite like your brother Ramson who teaches no divorce then he divorces and remarries. Let Vera do her thing, she may just be more genuine than you and your brother.

    • Ba Crankshaft:

      Oh please don’t add me to that list, my wealth has nothing to do with the church and if you really know me you would be the first one to say and know that.

      As for my brother, the guy could have been wealthy even if he ran another enterprise other than an assembly of the saints and believers you know that too if you really know him.

      As for his short comings, we all have ours and I am not accountable for his. I am only accountable for mine. What else would you like to talk about? Now back to A Vera, she can do whatever she chooses to do. It’s a free world.

      Now, do I think she has heart in the right place? You bet I do but she thrives more with charitable work and she has already been successful there. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

      God speed.

    • Ba B.R. Mumba, hence the reason you shouldn’t have knocked on Vera for being a preacher. Who are you to judge?

      Similarly, your brother who has so hypocritically taught against divorce yet he divorced his white girl and married a hot tamale Hispanic is no saint.

      Vera has done it all and let her come to God and serve him. She is not doing any mega-church thievery that makes pastors wealthy teaching economic theology like one Ramson. So please, spare us your “moral” teachings as your brother needs them more.

  7. Why can’t she just repent and be baptised in an existing church, if her motive is helping children? Is it also becoming like Zambian politics, which you form parties daily? She can come and join Dorca, and she will be free to distribute whatever to the poor, orphans, etc. Too many churches, we are now almost losing faith altogether!

    • Luke 6:36-38
      36 ‘Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.

      37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.

      38 Give, and there will be gifts for you: a full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap; because the standard you use will be the standard used for you.’

  8. The easiest tax free business to create in Zambia making money from the docile brainwashed masses…using funds stolen from the very tax the paid….really laughable…keeping tithing!!

  9. You are already doing a good job helping the children just concentrate supporting them, that is one way of healing mamma.

  10. Matthew 23:1-12
    1 Then addressing the crowds and his disciples Jesus said,
    2 ‘The scribes and the Pharisees occupy the chair of Moses.
    3 You must therefore do and observe what they tell you; but do not be guided by what they do, since they do not practise what they preach.
    4 They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people’s shoulders, but will they lift a finger to move them? Not they!
    5 Everything they do is done to attract attention, like wearing broader headbands and longer tassels,
    6 like wanting to take the place of honour at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues,
    7 being greeted respectfully in the market squares and having people call them Rabbi.
    8 ‘You, however, must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one Master….

  11. “If anyone is in Christ, he or she is a new creature, the old has passed behold the new has come” 2 Corinthians 5:17

    ” All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but are justified freely by the grace of God through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” Romans 3:23,24

    Jesus is Lord

  12. God bless mama Vera, Christianity is a personal relationship with your God. AS such you are answerable to God and not Man. The God who has called you will make you triumph through the valley and you shall come out victorious. Every person has a past and please do let people with no vision rather direction to sway your faith. When one repents of his / her sins such a person becomes a new creation and the old passes away. God does not remember sins. How start a race does not matter but how you finish it.A person makes confessions and repentance to the Almighty God alone and not to any other man made of clay, there Mama Vera should not waste her time to explain or announce that she is now repented. Its between her and God. May the good Lord shine upon your new ministry and may your ministry .

  13. I cant wait to listen to her grammar. I remember when she was a deputy minister at the ministry of environment speaking to international journalists on the question of Zambia’s policy on global warming, she responded: “Zambia is a very warm country, so tourists should come and enjoy the global warming in Zambia”.

  14. vera is a genuine person best first lady ever zambia had very generous unlike maureen the worst selfish person ever at state house.

  15. chiluba knew the heart of vera that it was full of love and accomodative. he also knew the part he had played in the so called scandal, he aloso knew that all children, whether vera’s or not, loved vera. if he wanted he would have caused harm to her. but he knew vera held the family. that is why upto his death, ftj never said nasty things about vera. even castrol the notorious child respected vera. dont underestimate this woman. go vera go!

  16. why are you judging her for answering the Lords call? do you know Apostle Paul of the new testament was? stop talking about her and concentrate on your Islamic religion

  17. why are you judging her for answering the Lords call? do you know who Apostle Paul of the new testament was? stop talking about her calling and concentrate on your Islamic religion
