"We are following the example of the Apostle Paul, in traveling to visit the fruit of our ministry, " shared Arthur Nhau, LTLA Director in Chinhoyi. Over the past month Arthur took members of his Training Ministry team to visit students in Kwekwe and in the capital, Harare. He went on to say, "It was a great encouragement to the students and to our team to be able to be together in person."
Tinotenda, Richard and Natasha are attending Kwekwe Polytechnic. They were discipled through our youth and young adult ministries in Chinhoyi. It is our desire to see them impact their peers in college for Christ. So, on November 20, Arthur took Simba, Zviko and Tatenda (LTLA Training Ministry team members) with him to visit these three students in Kwekwe. Natasha invited a friend, Anesu, to join them as well, so she is already reaching out to those around her. Arthur's team brainstormed with this group on ideas of outreach activities to do with others. They also equipped them with tools on evangelism and leading Bible studies. Please pray for Tinotenda, Richard, Natasha and Anesu as they reach out to their classmates at Kwekwe Polytechnic with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
During the pandemic, the universities have brought back groups of students by degree programs for two week sessions, during which they receive all their lectures for the semester. They are then sent home to work on their assignments for the rest of the semester and brought back at the end to take their final exams. Needless to say, this has made college ministry very challenging.
A very large percentage of students we minister to at Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) either grew up in the capital, Harare, or are living there now because of better job opportunities. With a lot of our CUT students currently in Harare, Arthur decided to invite all of them to meet the LTLA Training Ministry team at a park there. Twelve students joined them on Saturday, December 4. They were encouraged in both large and smaller group sessions to "remain in Christ" through spending time with Jesus in His Word. The LTLA Training Ministry team led sessions on the importance of reading, meditating on, and memorizing God's Word. It proved to be a good experience, so Arthur is planning to continue hosting such gatherings in this park in Harare. He plans to also invite alumni who now live there to join them in ministering to students and for personal encouragement to continue walking with Christ. Would you pray for the LTLA "traveling ministry" efforts as they seek to encourage fruit of their ministry to abide in the vine (Christ) so that they can produce spiritual fruit in their lives? (John 15:5,16)
