David and I are so privileged to be able to work together in ministry, and to spend our lives focusing on sharing the love of Jesus Christ wherever God allows us to go. I'm excited about my new blog, and look forward to sharing our experiences with you from time to time through this blog.
Our team has been on mission in Zimbabwe, having departed the US on Tuesday, March 8. We arrived in Bulawayo on Thursday, and began our ministry with a Leadership Development &Training Conference for pastors, evangelists and Christian workers. Today, our team begins speaking in local schools, talking with young people about drug and alcohol abuse, sexual purity, and AIDS, and things that can destroy their lives....and then sharing the Good News about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and how Jesus can change their lives!
An excerpt from a note to our families:
We are fine in Zimbabwe and have just gotten internet access this evening with a neat little "jump-drive"-like tool that allows us to connect almost like a cell phone. Our lodging and hosts are all just terrific; we are comfortable and enjoying cool breezes and beautiful, quiet sunsets and sunrises.
Our travel over here was fine except for some minor "hiccups" with luggage and customs...our sound equipment and other items necessary for ministry often cause a stir with local workers...
Godknows, our NEST co-leader here in Zimbabwe, has done a great job setting everything up. Our conference yesterday and today had an attendance of about 100 each day, and we had some wonderful times of worship and praise. I have never heard David speak so passionately and with so much power and anointing as he spoke last night and today, on having a passion for souls, on brokenness, on spiritual warfare...it was awesome! I could hardly sing, I was so overcome, when it was time for me to sing "Something Happens...!" God's spirit was and is moving and working, and we are looking forward to the rest of our ministry here.
Tomorrow we will all be at different churches, and then Monday begins our school ministry.
Thank you for praying for us; please continue to do so! I will post pictures when I am able...We love you and I am so glad I get to be here ministering in Zimbabwe...
Much love,
Amy and David
