    • Glorify Jesus for that we are able to care for 80 children in the Sandra Jones Children’s Village [SJCV]. Trust HIM for the success of the ‘One in a Million’ campaign to fundraise to buy a suitable property that can host the SJCV and the National Office.
    • Appreciate our Father for faithful staff and volunteers working in YFC Zimbabwe under difficult circumstances. Pray for good health to all the children we are working with.
    • Honour the Lord for journey mercies and His faithfulness. Ask Jesus for enough funds to do ministry especially much needed staff support.
    • We are grateful for the ministry Sam Rowland; a Canadian singer did last month. Intercede all who’ve been reached, for spiritual growth and commitment.
    • Ask God for guidance for the political leaders so that we will have lasting stability in Zimbabwe.

    Thank you for faithfully praying with us. We appreciate your involvement very much. Through your prayers you are an effective worker in His harvest field.

    Greetings in Christ,
