VERSE Romans 15:13 ”May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him”

March Newsletter 2023

For Zimbabwe, that means 8 million children and teenagers need to be reached through schools, churches, camps, or outreaches partnering with us to take God’s Word to Every child in their community.
As we prepare for elections in August there is an air of anxiety mixed with a hope, people longing for a brighter future and new opportunities across our beloved country. One Truth that we know for certain is that there is HOPE and there is Truth. His name is Jesus. We long that every child across our land will hear this Good News and find joy and peace for each day. Romans 15:13 is our prayer,
"May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you Trust in Him, so that you may overflow with Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

These photographs are of children involved in school reading projects, enjoying the weekly discipleship and reading programme in their area in the South of our country. The smiles and delight in their eyes tell you everything. They are thrilled to hold their own books and read for themselves the Truth and think about Jesus, the Light of the World, no longer needing to fear the darkness that we feel around us.

Training

We have continued to offer various trainings for churches, Sunday schools and children workers. We have a teenage workers training on 22 July 2023 in Harare. Our desire is to equip Christians to share the gospel of Truth to the children and youth in their community, using every opportunity that they are given. We have trained and spoken with many pastors and church leaders casting this vision. We have also distributed books to various regions across Zimbabwe, through our Master Trainers, hoping to have stocks of resources in 7 of our 9 regions before the year end. Please consider how you can partner with us to share the Good News and reach Every child. Matthew 9:38 says:
“The Harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the Harvest to send our labourers into His Harvest”.

Partnerships

As we grow and seek new partnerships, we are needing to strengthen our administration, and so are delighted to have a new volunteer intern Miss Genoveva John, who is a recent graduate in business administration and is helping us to get a strong foundation of necessary administrative issues. Genoveva came to one of our trainings and then applied to volunteer with us, and we are so thankful for her contributions.

Thank you for your interest, partnership and prayers as we step out in faith to follow the call of Jesus to take His message of Hope to our children across Zimbabwe.
