Life Changing Investment - LTLA Update - December 2024

 

Dear LTLA Partners, Since Thanksgiving, I have been sharing with you words of gratitude for Life to Life Africa from those to whom we minister. I would like to share a few more words of gratitude for the impact that your support is having in the lives of the next generation in Zimbabwe. Through your prayers and financial investment lives are being changed.

Tambuzai Perego

My name is Tambuzai Perego. My husband and I have been blessed to be discipled by the Life to Life Ministry through our involvement in the Women and Men of Hope meetings. We are growing in our relationship with Christ which is helping our marriage. Due to our financial hardships, the ministry has also cared for our two children as they attend the (LTLA) Critical Care Center where they receive two meals each day and are taught about God. They are also prepared well to begin school and our older child is now attending first grade. We are grateful to Life to Life for helping our whole family. The following two young girls are part of our Children of Hope ministry to those who live near and make a living collecting recyclable materials from the landfill just outside Chinhoyi.

Janet Mutsago

My name is Janet Mutsago. I am so grateful for Life to Life because two years ago I was not going to school and now with the help of the ministry I have been attending school for two years. I can now read and write. The weekly Bible studies have helped me learn how to pray and talk with God. The lessons on forgiveness and obedience have really helped me with my anger issues. I am so glad to see the positive changes in my life.

Margaret Banda

My name is Margaret Banda, I am thankful that Life to Life is paying for my school fees so I can go to school. The Bible studies have taught me more about God and how to be obedient. I am most thankful that I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior at one of the Bible studies. Below are words expressed to me by Tinotenda Kakusa in a handwritten letter he gave me on my last trip to Zimbabwe. Tinotenda is an orphan to whom we have ministered since he was in high school. With the help of a sponsor, the ministry has supported him as he pursues his mechanical engineering degree. Next year he will attend the Mutare Polytechnic where he will help LTLA team member, Simba, launch a ministry on that campus.

Mike with Tinotenda Kakusa

"I am deeply grateful to Life to Life in spreading the Word of God in Zimbabwe and serving people in need here. The impact of the ministry extended to me as I gave my life to Christ and have been challenged to grow as a disciple of Christ. I now have the opportunity to continue my education and to spread the Gospel with others. The guidance and mentoring I have received has been invaluable. As I reflect on the impact of the ministry, I am reminded of the profound difference it has made. The investment has sparked a fire in us that burns brightly and compels us to share the Word with others. Remember that the labor in the Lord is not in vain. You are shaping lives, including mine, for eternal purposes. Keep shining God's light into our lives and keep in mind that we are committed to carrying the torch forward. Thank you again for sharing the beacon of hope with us, Jesus Christ." Yes, thank you for your partnership that enables us to share the great news of Jesus Christ and to help those in need carry the light of the Gospel forward in this dark world.
