"I Can't Hold Back My Tears"


December 21, 2015 

Last week, I received the following chat message from Arthur Nhau: "As I was praying today something unusual happened, I started crying and can't hold back my tears." He continued by sharing, "In the few years of my spiritual journey I have longed to really hear God's voice and I think I heard his voice this morning."

This past year there has been a challenging situation with a particular person in the ministry which has weighed heavily on Arthur. He was praying about this situation when he heard God say, "He is your brother and you have not loved him enough." This brother has done and said some very hurtful things. Arthur felt like he had done all he could to minister to him and we were considering how to proceed. Through this experience in prayer, the Lord has directed Arthur to extend genuine forgiveness and to continue ministering to this brother. Our hope is that he will respond to the love of God shown through Arthur and that he will allow God's Spirit to transform him. Please pray with us in this situation and for so many others who have not experienced the love of God lived out before them in Chinhoyi.

I share this story with you to show how blessed Life to Life Africa is to have a leader like Arthur, who is earnestly seeking God as he leads the work in Chinhoyi. God has also raised up Jonathan Govero to assist the work as a true friend and advisor to Arthur as he serves as the board chairman for Life to Life Zimbabwe Trust. It was a true joy to meet with both of them on my last trip to evaluate the ministry for 2015 and then to prayerfully make plans for 2016. I am excited for what God is going to do through the courageous servant leadership of these dear brothers.

Grateful for your partnership!

LTLA 2015: YEAR IN REVIEW -- Arthur Nhau 

Wow, we can’t believe that it’s been a year now since we left Nigeria and yet it feels like it was just yesterday. God has been gracious to us and also knowing there are people out there praying for us has really pulled us through. Coming back to an economy that is on its knees, I think we are learning more to worship than to whine. 

We have been praying for long-lasting relationships and we are really humbled by the people God has introduced in our lives. We have witnessed women and men give their lives to Christ and not to us but to His name be the glory because of His love and faithfulness.



Pray with us that the young people in picture above, the glorious Father may give them 
the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that they may know him better.




Pray as well with us that these men will still bear fruit in old age, and that they will stay fresh and green. (Psalm 92:14)




Pray that these young men will not suffer shipwreck with regard to the faith 
and that they will encounter Christ every time they open scriptures.



As a team, pray that we will continue to be one, just as our Lord Jesus is with the Father. 



Come , let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but will heal us" (Hosea 6:1). This has been our prayer for our nation of Zimbabwe, also pray for rains as it looks like we are heading for a drought season. As we continue to assist the people with food hand outs, pray that they will not "live on bread alone but on every word that comes form the mouth of God". 


As a family, pray for health and that we will love as we lead.

Arthur, Donnell, Mildred, and Daisy Nhau

Above all, we give thanks in all circumstances and we pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel. 


Humbled by His Great Love,

Arthur & Mildred
