Siyabuzana

The children were once again "spoiled rotten". They are never paid so much attention and given the time of day. It was just great to see the team teaching Bible stories and playing games and getting their faces painted.

We were also part of the Sunday service where we witnessed 2 people giving their lives to the Lord and a number of baptisms. With hand raised this lady confesses her faith in the Lord Jesus.

So what did we do?

The basic thrust of the outreach this year was follow-up visits to 2 Churches we had planted along with outreach teams from previous years. We went to Siyabuzana in weather that threatened to pour rain on us almost all the time we were there. This was a cause for much prayer as we planned to show the Jesus film 2 nights. Edson the leader there with the elders organised a fantastic time. And it always touches me how generous theses people are.

They decorated the Church as well as the tree next to the Church with all kinds of fruit.

The outreach team arrived

We enjoyed our time with Walter & Rosie. It was great seeing them again. We took them back to Harare to fly home on the 24th June. Then on the 28th June the outreach team arrived after a 2 day tiring trip. They were a 20 person team from quite a few different Churches & denominations.

Walter & Rosie

We went to Harare to fetch Walter & Rosie. It was so good seeing them again. I is amazing how much we had bonded with them when they were here last a year ago. We have become such good friends. We are really grateful that the Lord had given us friends that are so similar in mind and heart.

Their purpose in this trip was to check where exactly the Lord wanted them to serve him. And we went to 2 places with them. Makumba which is near Mukuyana & Chitsama or more correctly the area of Chitsama. God in Walter and Rosie's words said He shouted CHITSAMA in the way He made it clear to them. this pic from Google earth will give you and idea. all the little brown dots you see are houses.

They are going to be about 3/4 the way across and 3/4 the way up the picture near the the tool bar. Praise God with us for their faithfulness to Him.
