Another photo from this beautiful country, again from around lake Kariba.


Please remember Zimbabwe in your prayers today.
Here is a good summary article of the events currently taking place.

How was your weekend?

Did you have some fun or sometime to relax?

Did you stand in line for 3 hours to buy 1 loaf of bread?
Was your house burned?
Were you made to attend a gathering you didn't believe in?
Did you watched your relative beaten?
Did you hear your staff cry out because of injustice?


Many have lost hope, many are in disbelieve. The believers cry out for justice, they cry out for a renewal of their land - Oh Lord hear their cry today and bring back hope.

A Beautiful Country


 A photo for your enjoyment from lake Kariba, where a friend of mine (Josh) and I went a few weeks back.  This is truly a beautiful country that needs your prayers.

  • Pray for the people as they face many difficulties
  • Pray for the Church as they seek wisdom to know how to respond
  • Pray for our office and our staff here, for safety and again wisdom to know how to respond

There is much pain here and much uncertainty.  For more information visit any major news site.  You can also view this site and join with many others in prayer.

A little Hope

I was walking in Walmart the other day, in the states for just a week of meetings, amazed at the availability of goods and the cheap prices. I came home to find the currency had doubled (in one weeks time), prices had tripled and still no bread to be had. However, the most difficult issue was the suspension of food aid. I can't go into detail here, you can find more out on BBC if you want but soon up to 4 million people will be starving in the 'bread basket' of Africa.

Please pray for this land. Pray for our team and our office here as we try and bring even just a little hope to those so desperate.

If I ever get this internet working I will post some new photos of this beautiful land. Thank you all for your prayers and emails this past month, they meant a lot to me.
