Zimbabwe Mission Connection
"We are called to be the salt and the light,
the hands and the feet of Christ"
These are some of the orphans and preschool children fed by the Kuwadzana Presbyterian Church, with donations from the people of the United Church of Cohoes:
We believe that God has called us to stand in the gap for our sister church in Zimbabwe, including daily prayer and sacrificial giving.
Zimbabwe Update: Dan has returned to the US to wed the love of his life, Mary, and they will travel together as the Vissani team to begin a several-year stint as agricultural missionaries with Farming God's Way in approximately one year. AJ's June walk from Cohoes to Boston raised more than $3,000 for the Kuwadzana creche--Jonnah reports that this money has bought enough food to give the children meals through November and into December! Praise the Lord!
Finally...AJ Nadeau, Matt and Kaitlyn (Tebordo) Wood, Abigail Tebordo, and hopefully one of Kaitlyn's colleagues from her days at Eastern will be making the journey to Harare once again, in December 2008-January 2009. Pray for their safety, the political stability that will allow them to have consistent electricity, water, etc., and for God to use our mission team in amazing ways this winter!
Please consider giving to this awesome cause by clicking on the link on the sidebar, or by mailing a check to the United Church for the Zimbabwe travel fund.
This link will take you to a website called "The Zimbabwe Situation" that contains updates about Zimbabwe from the major news agencies worldwide--But remember: regardless of what the news says, we know that God is in control of the situation and wants us to pray for Zimbabwe! The Zimbabwe Situation

AJ & Melody Nadeau and Dan Vissani with Jonnah, Tracey and Tinashe Masaka
The Masakas thank you for your prayers and giving--Rev. Masaka assures us that their people only survive through the prayers of many brothers & sisters worldwide. Pray for them every morning at 8:00--and give as you are able. Whenever you have helped one of God's children, you have done the same for Jesus!
