Zimbabwe: trained up
The first-ever Pastor Seminar delivered
exclusively in the Shona language was delivered in Gutu, a rural village south of Harare
in the Autumn.
The 16 people who attended the training
in Gutu contributed towards the costs of the
training by providing the trainer with maize
and sorghum (a cereal crop) for him to sell
on his return to Harare.
Ethiopia: privilege of preaching
In his nearly ten years as youth pastor at
Mekanisa Kale Heywet Church, in Addis
Ababa, Pastor Misgana has seen a thing
or two about the power of God’s Word to
transform.
When he first started working with the
youth,
their knowledge of
the Bible was
not
strong. So he
started a Bible
study
with them. ‘It changed their lives,’ he says.
‘Today, some of them go to Bible college, or
work in evangelism, and follow Christ.’
