NEWS FROM ZIMBABWE
BANKET | Bro David Yelulani
We need God to guide us both in the big affairs of national life as well as in our private day to day walk with him. What a priceless source of hope and inspiration the Bible is, speaking to the heartaches of ordinary people and influencing the destiny of nations. May God bless and guide you as you turn to him each day.

CHINHOYI | Bro Moses Aajiweka
Many thanks to Brothers and Sisters for the encouraging articles in the Gospel News. With different hardships we encounter in our different places we are witnessing the fulfilment of scriptures, now that the Saviour’s return is so near, let us hold fast to our beliefs. I am requesting audio and video cds of gatherings, exhortations and hymns.

On the early hours of 4 January this year around 1 am, I heard women and children, goats, cows, chickens etc. screaming and crying. That night it was really drama and it was raining heavily. Hunyani River was really angry. The waters were advancing towards the village and at the opposite village the other side of the river people crying, houses all covered by water and as such being trapped during the night really they were nowhere and the only action to take was to find the means of escaping just to save life. Back to our side, facing such incident we started packing our goods, opening doors of cattle, chickens, goats houses for them to move to higher places. We people as we were busy packing, the waters were also advancing towards us. Also having seen the other village being washed away, every thought that it was our turn. Truly trees could not be seen all covered by water. Water everywhere and do not forget that it was raining heavily and all the goods that we were packing was all wet. We had targeted a higher place in a government farm. When it was almost five metres left to start washing our village it suddenly stopped. Truly that was the hand of God. All the crops gone. We do not know maybe the floods might happen the second time this year alone. Moreover, will our plants germinate and be harvested? All remain in the hand of God. Moreover one brother and sister lost their Bibles and two Shona Bible Basics. If possible you may send the four books that is if God willing.

I am very pleased to receive the books called ‘Teach Me Thy Way’. They are very good for study and understanding God’s word. Thank you. I have passed a copy to my friend with whom I am working on his farm. I am requesting more copies to give to other friends and their families, together with some leaflets as usual. Thanks.

Bre Sylvester, Patrick, Walter and Ignatious acknowledge thanks for meeting Bro David Smith, and Bro Jeremy and Sis Jean from the UK with Bro Johannes and Sis Nosisa of Harare. We met at the Russell Hotel from midday till sunset studying the word of God.
Our prayer is that God will enable us to believe what we discovered in His word, and then to use what we learned to make a difference in these last days, when many have lost their way and God’s respect. “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be” (Matthew 6:21).
