Impacting Three Generations - LTLA Newsletter - Nov 2023

 Dear LTLA Friends,

On this "Giving Tuesday," I am sending our year-end newsletter highlighting the impact that Life to Life Africa is having. We are grateful for your interest and support that makes this ministry possible. Thank you for considering helping us continue the impact we are having among orphans, widows and the poor in Zimbabwe. See the bottom of the email for how you can make a donation.

Psalm 78:3-7 is a passage of scripture that caught my attention thirty years ago as a vision passage for ministry. In this passage, we see God’s heart for generations of people as he commanded the Israelite forefathers to teach their children his commands and to speak of his glorious deeds, his power and the wonders he has done. It describes three generations of impact, with fathers teaching their children “so the next generation would know… and they in turn would tell their children.”(Ps 78:6) Life to Life Africa is seeking to have this level of impact in our ministry as we labor to see one generation speaking of the Lord to other generations with the result that, “they will set their hope (trust) in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.” (Ps 78:7, ESV & NIV)


As an example of reaching multiple generations, we are ministering to a family that we met when our attention was drawn to the local landfill two years ago. Eva Nyamangara, the grandmother, is attending the LTLA Women of Hope meetings while her son, Last Gomo, participates in the Men of Hope meetings and his children, James & Patience, enjoy the weekly LTLA Youth Bible Study. At that time, the family had nowhere else to live after being forced off the farm where Eva worked up until the early 2000’s. She worked for a white Zimbabwean farmer who lost his farm when the government instituted land reform and allowed black Zimbabweans to take land by force. Because she worked for a white Zimbabwean, she was also forced off the land. Eva settled at the landfill where she put up a shelter for her and her son so they could be close by to collect recyclables for resale to make a living.

Shelton, LTLA Community Ministry team leader, shared the Gospel with Last and he responded in faith. They meet together most every week so that Shelton can read the Bible to him since Last cannot read. They memorize verses together so he can reflect on the truths and apply them into his life. Shelton encouraged Eva and Last to move away from the landfill for a better environment for his kids. They have taken that step but it is not easy as they survive on $50 per month. Through sponsors, our ministry is covering the cost of school for James and Patience. Going to school was something their father and grandmother never experienced. They are, however, hearing about God through their father and grandmother along with what they are learning at the LTLA Youth Bible Study.

To continue impacting three generations for Christ in Zimbabwe, we are in need of financial support. We are ending this year on slim financial margins after averaging $17,000 monthly in expenses, so we are asking for special gifts and increased monthly support to carry us through next year. We are also sending Simba & Pamela, a young couple that we have trained, to Mutare, the third largest city, where they will speak of God and his Son, Jesus Christ, to young and old as they trust God to have a multi-generational impact there. Thank you for prayerfully considering partnering with us.
