ZIMBABWE IS A HURTING PLACE

Ben and I just got back from Zimbabwe. What an awesome time we had with Pastor Dixon and his wife Chipo--dear friends for the last decade.

We have watched them face the famine, crime fed by 80% unemplayment, political mayhem and hostility to the Gospel. They have faced risks few Americans could ever concieve of. Last time Ben and I were there we were robbed.

Pastor Dixon is now the Children's Cup director for Zimbabwe. They are planting a new church (Oasis of Life Church) that will also mother a CarePoint for orphans and vulnerable children.

We'll keep you posted on the developments so you can witness with us God's awesome hand in this project.

Pray for this couragous, anointed couple--and their great kids Tanashe and Faith (Jean and I have them in about the same category as our own grandkids.)
