Greetings LTLA Friends,
As we approach Easter, we celebrate the extraordinarily generous nature of God. Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ we are the recipients of God generously extending his mercy and grace to forgive us of our sins. We see God's generous character in creation and throughout the pages of the Bible. Two weeks ago, our team explored in greater detail God's generous nature and were trained with tools to disciple people in the area of generosity.
Generous Church, an organization committed to inspiring and empowering believers to live generously so they can impact their communities, provided two facilitators from Kenya to conduct a two day seminar on Biblical generosity with our LTLA team. They were trained in using the Stations of Generosity Bible study, which uses song, hand motions, drama, testimonies, and facilitated discussions to explore God's generous nature with those whom we are discipling. The facilitators were encouraged by the team's preparation and excitement to engage in the training as they had examined this topic prior to the training. As our team is personally impacted by God's generosity, it is our prayer that their example of generosity will have a multiplying effect among those they are discipling.
This week, from April 3-6, the Love Zimbabwe Festival will be taking place in Chinhoyi. Three LTLA team members along with some young people from our Chosen Generation group have been participating in preparation activities for this event. Kubamba, a ministry from Kenya that focuses on reaching young people for Christ, has been providing training in using drama, dance, and digital media to share the Gospel. Marvelous and Tatenda, LTLA team members, received drama training and participated in one Gospel drama at a downtown clean up campaign where many responded in receiving Christ. Prestege, another LTLA team member, received dance training and will participate in the festival with the dance team.
These team members are excited to use these skills they have gained in our ministry efforts with youth and young people. They are also excited, together with young people from our Chosen Generation group, to share Christ during the Love Zimbabwe Festival. Would you join us in praying that many, young and old, will respond to the great news of Jesus Christ? And pray for the critically important work of discipleship that will take place with those who respond to follow Christ.
So, March was a good training month for the LTLA team. We look forward to how the Lord will continue to minister through them as they use these trainings in their evangelism and discipleship efforts. Below you can see photos and a video from the Biblical generosity training along with photos from the downtown Chinhoyi Cleanup Campaign for the Love Zimbabwe Festival.
Grateful for your partnership with us in prayer and financial support!
