LTLA Friends,
We are thanking the Lord for the provision of water at a new ministry location in Chinhoyi. Shelton, LTLA Community Ministry team leader, and his wife, Tinotenda, moved into a house last June in the White City neighborhood. A tank was placed there to capture city water in preparation to locate our Critical Care Center (preschool orphan ministry) there. The tank filled up with water just once as the city has struggled to maintain the water supply throughout the city. With the need for water, we took the step to install a borehole (well). Now it looks like we have a good source of water for which we thank the Lord. (As seen in the video below.)
You may remember that Shelton & Tinotenda lost their first child last June in the eighth month of pregnancy. With the Lord's healing touch, they have recovered from that loss and are now again pregnant. Tinotenda is being monitored closely in this pregnancy by an endocrinologist since she is diabetic. We ask for your prayers that she will remain healthy to deliver a healthy baby in five months.
We also ask for your prayers for Tsungai who has provided leadership for our Critical Care Center for over ten years. She was hospitalized last week with a lot of abdominal pain and now is waiting for the biopsy results from a growth in her uterus. She loves caring for preschool orphans and we pray she returns to full health so she can continue sharing Christ's love for these children.
I arrived back in Zimbabwe today with Thomas Gilbert, Life to Life Ministry director at the Univ of Central Florida. We have the privilege to witness the wedding of LTLA team member, Simba, on Saturday. In fact, Thomas will be officiating the wedding. We then will have the joy of ministering to and with the LTLA team for a week. Would you pray for Simba and Pamela as they start their married life together? Would you also pray for Thomas & I as we minister to and alongside the LTLA team?
Christ sustains this ministry through your prayerful support.
Thank you!

Shelton & Tinotenda were refreshed in September after grieving their loss with a trip to the eastern highlands of Zimbabwe.
