Members of Team Zimbabwe Caught Dancing in Church!

Our one and only chance to go to church was Sunday morning, at a New Frontiers church called River of Life.  We all climbed aboard the bakkie [ute] and much to the amazement of locals headed off down the road to church.  River of Life is a church plant that attracts a lot of university students.  There are a few pastors, including one full time pastor called Bonisi, otherwise known as ‘Bones’.  

It was a thoroughly enjoyable service, with joyous worship and a powerful sermon about forgiveness.  The service was only 2 days after Election Day, and many in the nation were not sure what was going to unfold over the weekend.

The congregation was very friendly and we chatted to a number of people after the service.  We noticed that most of the people walked to church!

 I’ve decided that I’ve more to learn from a church in Zimbabwe than going to an expensive church growth conference run by someone from the USA with a church of many thousands.  The grace, humility, faith, perseverance and focus of believers here is humbling to experience!
