Mushunje and Bazel Bridge November 2021 Report

Grace mercy and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. 

November recorded the highest temperatures as the heat was too intense. Our rain came the second week as people were preparing to plough small portions of land. The first week I attended a Gospel Meeting. The second week I was doing personal evangelism, the third week I went to see my father who was not feeling well. The fourth week youths attended an all night prayer. I was highly honored by the school as I gave a lesson and prayer on the first exam day. 

Nyakunu church of Christ hosted a Gospel meeting on the 5th - 7th. In their program preachers who came early was moving door to door preaching it was a great moment, Preachers who delivered sermons were Br Siwedi, Mushati, Manyanhaire, Marunga and Doctor Mugweni. I lead the singing and five girls were added to the Lord's church. We celebrated the birthday of sister Nyakunu, her daughter surprised her by bringing a nice fruit cake. She was overjoyed as tears streaming down her cheeks. We ate together as a body of Christ. Doctor Mugweni officially opened the borehole donated by Healing Hands lnternational through Mayfair Church of Christ. This was something special I was so excited to see this development, water was a challenge and the borehole reached 80meters deep, people around were very happy. 500 people attended the gospel meeting and the giving was $55 usd. Br V Marunga was officially announced as the preacher to work with Nyakunu as the former died Br Maraire. The school principal of Mutare Bible College Br N Marunga requested me to come with the students at my home to study as they liked my little projects and hard work I am doing. They asked me questions and how do I manage as well as preaching and teaching it was a great lesson learned by the students. 

The second week I did my personal evangelism at 8:00am till 12 noon. The sun was burning. I visited the Mashayamombe family as I encourage Br George and Roderick to attend Sunday service. I am having a challenge again with brother Shalom and his wife. Since they are going to work they are forgetting to attend church services in Nhedziwa as I asked Br Mushati the preacher and when they came here in Bazel they are abstain church service please in your prayers too remember them I do not know what is their problem. When they were not employed they submitted to church full-time but now the first love has been rejected contemptuously, I tried to ask them on the phone but they said we are not given time by their bosses to go to church, as they come home they are not attending, ln life people forget as better life comes in God's hands. I gave him my good trouser, shirt and shoes for his first interview but now the Lord blesses they are forgetting . I went to sister Kuwaza's home as she always complained about her boys, she was blessed with four boys I gave them a lesson about the first commandment in the Bible and taught them. The mother was very happy with the message and all the efforts to make sure that they attended church services and accept Jesus as our savior in their lives. 

I was greatly honored by the teachers and headmaster at Mwandiambira Primary school as they invited me to address the grade seven pupils on the first day of the exam the 29th. My lesson was do your work perfectly and not to rush. Their teacher Mr Muradzikwa was very excited his words he used to speak to them I repeated them to take their time. I took 20 minutes as I went to see the head Mr Siziba and he offered a gratitude on the job I did. 

On my way home I passed to see grandmother Maondo a resident of Bazel and she was suffering from diabetes. The daughter in law is taking care of her and she was happy to see me, she confessed that long ago another old man of the Lord's church visited her and taught her some lessons it was a great moment as she said. She appreciated greatly. 

The third week I went to see my father. His challenge was falling down and unable to stand as he losses power and became unconscious. It happened twice and I saw it as I visited to see his condition. He needs monitoring my prayers is to be guided by the Lord. My mother is living in fear of my father may the Almighty God have mercy with my father. I am the one who is taking care of my parents and I felt the pain if anything happened to them. 

The fourth week on the 27th the youths at Bazel attended an all night prayer at Mupudzi church of Christ where Br Siwedi is ministering. Twelve youths attended with their teachers sister Mandianike and Chiwedere. Me and my wife we provided transport cost and food expenses. We were happy the whole church as we listened to each and every kid speak on with their mouth all the events they witnessed. It uplifted our souls we want to thank God for this program and they insisted this event to be held at our church. It is on our plan when the lock down is over. 

I want to thank you for your support you gave us. May God be with you all. 

Yours ln Christ
