“Friends, let us not parade our love in words or talk only; but let us show it in deeds and make it real.” – The Apostle John

First Time Ever


For the first time ever, LTLA was able to have an information table during orientation week at Chinhoyi University of Technology! Our ministry team was able to connect with 69 first year students, and of those 69, ten students have become active in attending our weekly Bible study. Pray with us that these and other students would encounter Christ, respond in following Him and be equipped to become laborers in His Kingdom.

You may recall that our ministry team was restricted in their presence on campus last semester. The university chaplain, an Evangelical Church of Zimbabwe pastor in Chinhoyi, was influential in enabling us to participate in the orientation week. We are grateful for his friendship and for the Evangelical Church with whom we collaborate well for the cause of Christ. They are holding strong to the purity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a time when the prosperity gospel is infiltrating churches.

We were encouraged by two student leaders in our ministry, Mike and Theodora, who joined the ministry team at the orientation table. Mike was led to Christ by Ezra, an Iowa State Univ student, who served with a Navigators team in 2017. Join us in praying that more students will join our ministry team in evangelism and discipling efforts on campus.

Community Impact 


You may also recall that in May the Life to Life Ministry team from University of Central Florida encouraged the LTLA team in their evangelism efforts. Since then, the LTLA team has led the following young adults to Christ: Junior, Levenia and Mildred, as well as Gogo Rice, a grandmother. The team also has come alongside the following young adult "spiritual orphans" in discipling relationships: Privilege, Abraham, Tawanda and Divine. Please pray that the LTLA team will establish these new believers in their relationships with Christ and that they would progress toward being equipped to labor for Christ.

What is especially encouraging is that the full LTLA ministry team is engaging in these efforts. The older team members have been receiving more in-depth evangelism and discipleship training this year. They have paired up with younger team members, going out two by two as Jesus sent out his disciples. We are excited to see the impact that the LTLA team is having in the Chinhoyi community!
