JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER

So tomorrow closes one chapter and begins another as I pack up and head for Zimbabwe to begin working full time with Pastor Dixon Changara at Celebration Zimbabwe. I am super excited to finally be getting into Zim on a full time basis. I am truly humbled to be able to partner with God and the awesome family in the U.S., Swaziland and now Zimbabwe as we continue to roll back the darkness in Africa with the light of King Jesus. The excitement does not come without a bit of apprehension as I step into a new environment that most people are moving out of rather than moving in to. What I do know is God is moving in Zimbabwe and if that’s where He is that’s where I want to be. Explosive growth continues to be the norm with 2 more locations opening this month, bringing the total to 16 points of light in a country that has been enveloped in darkness for far too long. My prayer is that I am up to the task, to be ready for whatever God needs to have done for those that “are not here” yet. There’s no greater joy in my life than to see broken lives transformed by the saving grace of our Lord Jesus.

My short time here in Swaziland has been another life changing experience, another chapter of God’s work of art that is my life. I’ve been able to reconnect with some old friends as well as make a whole lot of new ones. My last service at HPC Swaziland was a grand experience as we held a baptism service, sealing the inward commitment that has changed so many lives here already. Let the heavens rejoice and the demons tremble. Jesus is on the move in Africa.

Mike! You have been such a blessing to us these six months of transition to Africa. We are so glad that you were in Swazi and we were able to become friends. God has some awesome things planned for Africa and we are so glad to be serving alongside of you. Safe travels to Zimbabwe – you are in our prayers. We still love you even if you did just post that bak 2 skul pic of us. :)

Blessings,
Greg and Kristin

Brad and I are so happy for you! So excited to see you over there fulfilling God’s plan for your life, being a part of what God is doing over there. We miss being in missions, praying that we can get back to it soon. We are praying for you! We will be checking back often. FB and the internet sure make the world seem smaller, you are so far away yet seem so close. :)
