Mike in Zim - Prayer Guide

Dear Prayer Partners, 

I would greatly appreciate prayer for my time in Chinhoyi for the next two weeks, as apart from Christ nothing of value will get accomplished (John 5:5). Naomi, who will be making her 4th trip to Zim, will join us here on Friday. We covet your prayer covering. 

Arthur has asked us to share insights from Colossians 2:6-7 at the college ministry end-of-semester banquet, which will take place on our last day, June 2. Here is a prayer guide from those and subsequent verses: 


21 May - "as you received Christ Jesus the Lord," I am so grateful to have received Christ along with my brothers and sisters here in Chinhoyi. May he use us to draw others to receive Christ. 

22 May - "so walk [live] in Him," May the Lord speak through me as I encourage the LTLA team and Chosen Generation young adults with their position "in Christ." 

23 May - "rooted and built up in Him," May the Lord speak through me as I continue encouraging the Discipleship Team to be rooted and growing in Christ. I will participate in the college ministry Bible study as well. 

24 May - "established in the faith..." I will accompany Discipleship Team members as they meet with those they are discipling to help establish them in the faith. 

25 May - "abounding in thanksgiving." I am very thankful for the opportunity to co-labor with these dear friends in Zimbabwe, as well as with Naomi who arrives today from Michigan. 

26 May - "See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ." Pray that the men and women that Naomi and I share with at the Women and Men of Hope meetings will escape the bondage of the spirit realm that persists in this land. 

27 May - "For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily," Praise be to God! Jesus is Lord! May he be pleased in our worship of him today. 

28 May - "you have been filled in him," Do we believe it? It is the fact of the matter. May this truth permeate the LTLA team and all whom they impact with this truth. 

29 May - "buried with him..." Just as Jesus was buried after he died for our sins, we in our sin have been buried with Christ. May this truth set people free into life in Christ. 

30 May - "raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead." May God and his son Jesus Christ be the object of our faith in this kingdom work. 

1 June - "And you who were dead in your trespasses...God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by cancelling the debt that stood against us." Death is separation caused by the selfishness of sin. Life is togetherness made possible through God's love in Christ. May this truth take root and transform lives in Chinhoyi. 

2 June - "This he set aside, nailing it to the cross." May the students who attend the end-of-semester banquet encounter the finished work of Christ, who was nailed to the cross, died, was buried and rose again to grant us forgiveness of sins and life everlasting! 

3 June - "He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in [Christ]." As Naomi and I depart may we and those to whom we ministered rest in the victory of Christ over the spiritual forces of darkness. 


Thank you for supporting us in prayer!

"Humbled By His Grace & Mercy"

Arthur Nhau, LTLA Director in Chinhoyi, provides the following update on what God is doing through LTLA: 


We are really humbled by the relationships that God continues to entrust us with here in Chinhoyi. I have been meeting with 3 young men who are showing a deep desire to walk with the Lord; namely Vedra, Milton and Andrew. These are first year students at Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT). We pray that through Christ Jesus Vedra, Milton and Andrew may be built up as a dwelling where God lives by his Spirit.

We also pray 2 Tim 2:2 for the four key guys whom I have been discipling for some time: Shelton, Simba, Zviko and Tatenda. Zviko is now in his final year at CUT. We pray after Zviko graduates he will stay connected with our ministry and continue developing a heart for people.

Arthur, Tatenda, Zviko, Simba, & Shelton 

Simba has been with us in Chinhoyi this past month while on break from Harare Polytechnic. Upon his return to college, he desires to share Christ with his classmates and invite them into Bible study. We pray for Simba's ministry efforts at college and that God may give him reliable men who will in turn teach others. 

Shelton and Tatenda are part of our discipleship team here in Chinhoyi. We pray that Christ will continue to be the center of their lives (Shelton & Tatenda) and that out of their contacts, God would raise up men who want to change the world for Christ. 




My wife Mildred is doing well, always encouraged to serve in any way possible. Pray that Mildred will continue to be a light to many.

(Ladies on the LTLA Discipleship Team) 

We had an Easter conference for the youth in our ministry. We are really encouraged to see the confidence God is giving Tatenda and Marvelous who spoke of what Christ did for us. It was also encouraging to see the youth enjoying learning about the meaning of Easter, the Lord's great love for us, and not only because it is a holiday.

At CUT this semester we are relating with a lot of first year students. We have a weekly Bible study on Wednesday afternoons and then meet with them individually during the week. We pray that the Lord would open the hearts of these CUT students to respond to our message.

As a ministry, we continue to pray for unity and to see Acts 4:32 in action for the LTLA team.

We pray as we enter into winter for the malnourished children we assist at our Critical Care Center. May God keep these young ones warm and give their guardians a caring heart. 

As a nation we head towards elections in July, so we continue to look up to God for a God fearing leader. The rains came late this season so some of the families we serve did not fare well in their farming efforts. We are grateful, however, for the harvest the Lord has provided. 

The initiative to empower people through the Foundations For Farming program has really improved the situation for most of the families under our care. They have been experiencing improved yields as they are taught to farm "God's way." We are really thankful that the farmers who initiated this program are believers and their influence is now penetrating even our government. 

As a family we are always humbled by His grace and mercies everyday. Pray for our children, Donnell and Daisy, that they may continue to grow not only in stature but also in wisdom.  


Blessings, 
Arthur & Mildred Nhau
