Mushunje and Bazel Bridge October 2021 Report
Grace mercy and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
October recorded the high temperatures, the maximum recorded 45-50 'C. The sun was exceptionally hot. We received little rainfall this month less than 10mm. The first week l visited my nephew at my parents home. I helped my father's elder brother to reverse the deal of selling a big piece of land with little money. We purchased another 22 chairs the second week at Bazel. The first day of the third week the church shed was brought down by the storm. The fourth week l was doing personal evangelism. On the 29th we visited the doctor together with my wife and we invited the Rural District Council to show us our boundaries.
My nephew Dennis was ill the end of September and the first week of October. I visited him to see the condition at my parents home. He was infected at school since in his classmates recorded nine Covid 19 cases . He is learning at Chinyauhwera High my former school that is 5km away from school. He spent two weeks at home and now he is feeling much better as he returned to school the third week of October.
My father's elder brother sold a big piece of land with his wife about four hectares at 300usd. He was given $80 usd and the basic food stuff. It was hock and crooks where there was no witnesses. Mr Nyikavaranda openly agreed that he bought the land but our father refused as we reversed the deals since he is not educated in dealing with assets. On top of that he has some kids and grandchildren. Our plan was to return the money and the food he received for the benefit of his children. The owner of the whole land was my grandfather our father are valuing less this inheritance. I thank God that Mr Nyikavaranda listened as we discussed this matter and reverse the deal in a godly way.
The second week Br Nhamo Moyana a former preacher at Bazel donated 22 chairs to the church. Currently he is working full time preaching at Hermanus Church of Christ in Cape Town South Africa. Our total chairs are 42 which is a big number and great achievement to us as we used to seat on the rough floor. I went to town to purchase these chairs as l add another money for transport.
I extended my journey to see Mr Muchazoreka who was injured a fractured hip the left side. He is our neighbor at Bazel, he was not able to move on his own as he was on the wheel chair. I prayed for a speed recovery now as we speak he is using a crutch to move he recovered greatly.
Our jubilation was turned into lamentation as the heavy storm came on the 17th and overturned the roof of our church shed. Monday morning as l went to church for my usual prayers.
Quickly we organized with the church members to attend this double trouble we encounter. I used the money l have to buy cement, treated poles and nails. The church paid for the builder for the work he did.
On the 31st we encountered another massive storm and hail stones were brought down from the sky my butternuts, tomatoes were slashed to the ground, houses, trees were destroyed thank God none lost their lives
I visited sister Chin'ono /Chikazhe for learning as she's the new convert l taught her about the church, baptism and repentance. I visited sister Masere and taught her about the love of God sometimes back l accompany her to Chimanimani and buried her son in law who passed away. It was a rainy time as we were together in that situation. I reminded her since she once backside. In her response she was deeply moved as she promised to hold fast in the Lord.I went to see sister Kuwaza and comforted her of the loss of her loved ones.
On the 29th together with my wife we went to town to collect some maternity leave forms and to see the doctor. The baby in the womb is safe and nothing is wrong with the baby. We accept the doctors words as we prayed for the girl but we received the opposite we thank God for that.
The last week of the month we called the Rural District Council to come and pegg the whole ground. Our ground was pegged 40 meters width and 80m length. We were given the same share the three churches around.
I want to thank you for the love you showed and the support you gave me and my family. May God bless you and your family.
Yours ln Christ
