Thank you for praying for my recent trip to Zimbabwe.
It was good to be with our dear friends who are faithfully continuing
the work that "Uncle Ron" so diligently started. We were able to
joyfully grieve his passing into glory. They are eternally grateful for "Uncle Ron" showing the love of Christ as he cared for their physical and spiritual needs. He taught them to trust God for his promises so we have begun the process of asking God to show us the promises He
wants us to believe Him for in the coming years for Life to Life Africa.
I also want to thank everyone who has donated items for the container we are sending to Zimbabwe next month! We are getting close to filling the container especially after packaging 150,000 meals this past weekend. Life to Life Africa in the Zimbabwean tradition is clapping and loudly saying "Maita Basa," to First Evangelical Free Church of Ames and Ascension Lutheran Church of Ames for the financial support and hands-on packaging of these meals.
We are especially needing sewing machines as we have collected 5 and hope to collect 20 more.
Here is the video of the "Sewing Project Ladies" as they gathered to encourage one another in the Lord and with their sewing projects.
Financial contributions are needed as well to help defray the additional $12,000 needed to purchase and ship the container. We are purchasing the container so it can be used as storage to free up our Community Center building for ministry use. You can direct financial contributions for the container by mailing a check to:
