I have a very soft spot for Zimbabwe (could be cause I was born there!). God has placed this beautiful country and beautiful people on my heart, when I am there I am refreshed by my brothers and sisters and their absolute faith in God. I love the way this precious young Zimbabwean man, Frank, puts it in this video interview, "we are prisoners of hope". It was a privilege for us at Hope in Africa to go on this outreach arranged by the Nelspruit New Covenant Church, 9 tons of food was taken from Nelspruit to Mutare to assist fellow believers. This was an opportunity to simply be an answer to prayers for food - works of service Eph 4:12. We were 17 people in a convoy of 8 vehicles on this outreach. The boarder crossing took hours and we had to dig deep for patience and a loving attitude towards officials seeking a bribe in order to process our documents. I took some hair braids with to bless some of the Zimbabwean women with something "girlie", these are a people who have known a good life and have been forced to economic ruin by an unwise government, they were so blessed to have something beautiful and gave me such big hugs - its amazing how the simple pleasures in life can cause so much joy. We are assisting a wonderful Zimbabwean family in their vision to look after orphans and school them and on our previous trip we prayed for their brother who was dying and two months later we were informed that he was completely healed, up and about and serving God. When I saw him on this trip I embraced him and thanked God for this incredible healing and the testimony that he is.
