Rain, A Wedding, and Other Praises

February 16, 2017


Greetings LTLA Friends,

We have several things to praise God for so I am passing along these praise points along with prayer requests. I am in route to Zimbabwe so would appreciate your prayers for me and some dear friends traveling with me over the next few weeks.

RAIN: God has provided the needed rain for good corn growth for the 100 families we serve in Chinhoyi. It is a special blessing after two years of drought and for the 18 new families who were trained to plant their plot of corn last October.


FLORA: In the photo below you will see Flora on the left, a Muslim woman, standing by her corn plot with Itai, one of our LTLA Ambassadors She has received our training in effective farming and attends the LTLA Women of Hope evangelism and discipleship meetings. She has always greeted me with a kind smile when I see her on my visits. Pray for her to experience salvation in Christ.

SIMBA: We are grateful to have Simba, fruit of our orphan high school ministry who is attending a trade college, around this coming year. He has an internship with the city of Chinhoyi water department. We look forward to continue encouraging him in his relationship with Christ and in his evangelism/discipleship efforts with his co-workers. Pray he will influence others to Christ in the city water department.

CLARENCE & ANNA: Clarence & Anna are getting married on Feb 25, so I get to witness my first African wedding. Anna has been a long term member of the LTLA ministry team, hosting the orphan Bible studies in her home. Pray as they begin their life together ministering in the farming community where Clarence pastors a church. We are encouraged to see our ministry impact expanding beyond Chinhoyi.

HAROLD, ROD & NAOMI: I look forward to having these dear co-laborers in Christ joining me from Hopevale Church on this trip. Harold & Rod join me for their fourth trip and will assist in completing the plumbing and electrical work for the Life Discipleship Center. Naomi returns for her second trip where she will continue ministering to the spiritual needs of the ladies. Pray for God to lead us in our actions and words as well as for His protection in travel and spiritually.

LIFE TO LIFE ZIMBABWE TRUST BOARD: Pray the Lord will guide us as we meet on Feb 18. May we seek His mind and heart as we assess the condition of our ministry, addressing current issues and determining the plans he desires us to trust Him for in the future. May the Lord unite Arthur, Jonathan, Mildred, Tamari, Felix and I with His vision for LTLA.

Gratefully in Him,
