We would like to use this page to try to include ANSWERS to FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, and include recent interviews.

We will also post the DATES for any upcoming SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS and also any forthcoming VISITS to our SUPPORTING CHURCHES..

Here are some photos that you may find interesting. They are from our most recent Mission Trip in June and July 2006.

You may not believe your eyes, but this is the pile of cash for the DROUGHT RELIEF FOOD that went out to the Gwanda area, near the end of July. The Smallest NOTE in this pile is $50,000.00 and each one of those "bricks" consists of 500 of them wrapped up with rubber bands. It took a small SUITCASE to hold it al and carry it around.

No, this man is not in JAIL. He is the CASHIER at National Foods Ltd. It took over one hour to count and stack that huge pile of cash, and he was even using an electronic money counting machine to do it. Having to deal with such huge sums of money is absolutely nerve wracking, as you have to watch out for THEIVES constantly.

In the meantime, here are some photos from our Ministers In Zimbabwe. We hope they can help you to visualize the work, the workers, and also some of the difficulties they endure, for the sake of speading the Gospel of Christ

Here are 8 of our Ministers and Church leaders who are living and working up in the Zambezi valley. They are meeting under a Church shelter constructed of logs, with a roof made from Millet Stalks. It keeps out most of the SUN but none of the RAIN.

This is the Dombashoko church, located 90 miles Southeast of Bulawayo, near the city of Gwanda that has been one of our faster growing congregations. We did assit them in the constuction of their church building, and a house for the local ministers to use as their base of operations.

Recently, we helped them to obtain some cement and some paint to use in fixing up some of the walls, as Prices have literally gone right through the roof, and are beyond their current income. The roof is still in need of repair but we have not had any extra funds to spare for this project.

Here is an example of the most recent type of building that we normally help to construct in the Rural Areas. It is simple and quick to build which helps to keep the costs as low as possible, but even more importantly, it is sturdy and very cheap to maintain. This is vital if we are going to continue towards the goal of making each congregation, self-sufficient. There are currently 4 of these buildings in the Zambezi Valley.

Many of our churches are now meeting in low cost Buildings, that we have helped to construct.They are much more Spacious inside than they look from the outside, and can seat @ 200 people, as seen in the previous photo. Numerous large windows are necessary to provide adequate lighting and plenty of ventilation for the people, without the need for electricity.

Please remember that without your help, The work that The Lord has been accomplishing through us, might not be able to continue. Through your support and prayers, we will continue to reach out to the PEOPLE of ZIMBABWE with the message of HOPE that comes from the GOSPEL MESSAGE of JESUS CHRIST. May God continue to bless you as you continue to faithfully support this Great Work.
