What we found
We searched for this specific congregation and found no page, listing, or mention of an "Apostolic Faith Mission in Zambia - Bethel Assembly" in Kasama, and no trace of the contact name in the email address. The parent denomination itself is clearly real and active in Zambia: other branches appear online, for example a Facebook page for the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zambia - Kasupe Assembly in Lusaka, led by Rev Ackson Phiri, an official page for AFM Longacres Tabernacle in Lusaka, and a map listing for an AFM Zambia congregation in Mufulira, Copperbelt (Yandex Maps). Searches for "Bethel Assembly" within this church family returned only Zimbabwean and other foreign congregations, such as AFM Bethel Assembly in Mutare, Zimbabwe, not Kasama. We found no scam reports, fraud warnings, or complaints connected to this name, and no sign of a personal-brand page. The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
Our conclusion: The Apostolic Faith Mission in Zambia is a real and active denomination with other branches confirmed online, and Kasama is a genuine provincial town where a local assembly is entirely plausible, with a named pastor given as Rev. Cephas Simfukwe. However, our independent search found no page, listing, or mention of a Bethel Assembly in Kasama, and no trace of the contact name, so nothing yet confirms this particular congregation. There are no war
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
