Prayer Focus
For stability and wise leadership for Zimbabwe, so that the country may begin to recover and thrive once again.
For God’s provision to continue, so that despite increased financial pressures, the work of the Training Centre can continue, develop and expand to support more students in the future.
Jonah Masaka and Kuwadzana Church and
Christian Training Centre, Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has suffered many years of political unrest and economic decline, which has created a desperate struggle for survival for many people. For over 40 years, we have supported both the work of Kuwadzana Uniting Presbyterian Church and that of Rev. Jonah Masaka, who was the minister until his retirement and who founded a Christian Training Centre and Bible School for pastors and lay people.
The Church in Kuwadzana is very much the focus of aid and distribution of food and other essentials as well as running a secondary school and pre-school for local children, aiming to give hope for the future and to demonstrate God’s love and provision to their local community.
As a congregation, we regularly send financial support to Kuwadzana Church and when possible, go to visit our friends in Zimbabwe. In addition, our Monday Coffee Morning sponsors a student at the secondary school run by the Training Centre, to enable them to continue their studies until graduation. We also keep in touch with the Church and do our best to respond to additional needs as they arise.
