April/May 2006 New Zealand Short Term Missions Trip Into South Africa: We had a fantastic time with the team that came out from New Zealand on a short term mission’s trip with us. We put them through all sorts of endeavors of which some of them are included in the following:

The New Zealanders did a fantastic job in each of the endeavors we put them through, and went back to New Zealand very satisfied with what they had each individually accomplished. We also did a four night open air crusade with the kiwis in the township area of Vaalwater, and had over 1000 new decisions for the Lord. ( All of the follow-up is being handled by various Pastors in this local area.) Since the kiwis have gone back home, we have done some more organizing to be involved later on this year in some more short term missions trips going from Johannesburg up into Botswana. We will be having some great fiery Crusades up there! SO - If anyone is interested on coming with us on more of our short term missions’ trips in the future, please get hold of us ASAP on the ministry email address. Trip to Zimbabwe in May: Our trip to Zimbabwe in May 2006 was very fruitful. We held pastors Conferences in Ghegutu and KweKwe, and ministered in different local churches inside the city of Harare.  Above is a photo of Pastors from KweKwe Zimbabwe gathering together on their knees praying over the nation of Zimbabwe. We had a slow trip on the way up to Harare, but a very good cruisey one on the way back. We thank the Lord for all his provision while we were away, and for the safety of our house and contents.
