Back to School in Zim - LTLA Update


Fall Greetings LTLA Friends,  

Just as it is here in the U.S., September is also a busy campus ministry month in Zimbabwe with the start of new college semesters. Jonathan Govero, ministering to college students in Zimbabwe, sent the following photos of their outreach at Bindura University of Science Education, which is 55 miles from the capitol city, Harare. Marvelous, an orphan from Chinhoyi who is a student there, is active in these ministry efforts. She came to Christ and was discipled through LTLA. It is encouraging to see her ministry involvement! Please pray that the Lord enables her to multiply spiritually among her peers. (2 Timothy 2:2)

Arthur Nhau, LTLA Director in Chinhoyi, said they are very encouraged by reconnecting with all the returning Chinhoyi University of Technology students with whom they have relationships. The LTLA ministry team has been active in "two by two" evangelism efforts on campus. (Luke 10:1, NIV) Please pray that the seed planted will fall on good soil, and also for the 20 students & post-high school orphans who have been invited to attend the Zimbabwe collegiate conference organized by Jonathan Govero for Oct 14-16.

Please see below for a ministry update from Arthur:



Update from Arthur Nhau, LTLA Director -  Chinhoyi 

Greetings, hope this update finds you well. We are now in the last term and college semester of the year and we are so grateful to what God is doing in and through us. 


Remember Simba? He is now in Harare at the Polytechnic Institute but was in Chinhoyi during their August break. I was so encouraged to hear him share his experiences in Harare and how he is enjoying recruiting others for Bible study and spending time with Jonathan Govero. Pray that Simba continues to delight in scriptures and make Jesus known.

Zviko is a second year student, who gave his life to Christ last year. I’m grateful to God that He enabled Zviko to accept Jesus (John 6:65). At the end of last semester he asked if he “could linger a little longer” during the semester break. So, instead of going home he remained in Chinhoyi to be active in our local community ministry. (John 20:10—16) Our prayer is that he may continue to have encounters with our Lord Jesus.

Shelton continues to be a faithful armor bearer as my right hand man in ministry. Pray he continues encouraging me and as I invest in his development as a laborer in the Lord's harvest fields.

The High School ministry led by Anna and the Chosen Generation (post HS ministry) led by Ottilia truly paints a picture of “Timothy's and Lydia's” in the making. We pray that these young people will entrust all they are learning to reliable people who will be qualified to teach others. (2 Tim 2:2)

As a team our prayer is that may we continue to use our different gifts to His glory and that we remain united (Eccl 4:12) as the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

LTLA Team

As a family remember us in prayer that we will continue to serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15) Also please continue to pray for our country in the midst of our political and economic turmoil, that we lift up our eyes to the hills for that’s where our help comes from (Psalm 121).   

We choose to worship rather than to whine,   

Arthur and Mildred  




Thank you for your faithful support of this work in Zimbabwe!
