Relating One with Another

“Families” relating to each other

Pastor’s Mark Maklin from Christian Community Church, Hounslow, London, U.K

It was such a blessing having “family” from the U.K visiting Stephen and I in Kezi Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. We were blessed by their encouragement, love and input into our lives as well as the lives of folk at Crossroads Community Church and Ebenezer Training Centre.

Pastor Mark Maklin, Pastor Nigel Lurrie, Tina Henry and Brett Mills from Christian Community Church in Hounslow, London (affiliated to Assemblies of God) came and served us so well. Pastor Mark preached at Crossroads on the Sunday morning and folk enjoyed themselves so much. Pastor Nigel shared with the apprentices and found it more challenging in that he needed to ‘connect’ with them and help them to relax. I suppose as it was their first time hearing him, they were listening rather attentively, without smiling…… He ended up winning them over as Pastor Nigel is an anointed worship leader and plays the guitar really well.

Tina Henry is a nurse and she did extremely at the Home Based Care meeting on the Monday morning. She spoke on general hygiene and cancer. The HBC volunteers had many questions with regard to cancer. She was blown away by the service at Crossroads and has ‘promised’ to come back and visit us next year.

Brett Mills is a “fired up” Youth leader. At the age of 20, he is so passionate about God and reaching the lost – it’s inspirational. He is serving Pastors Mark and Nigel and the hope for him was that once being in Zimbabwe – a new people group and culture group, Brett would be lifted to a new level in his walk with God. That seems to be exactly what has happened. I think everything will really begin to settle once he is back in the U.K.

What an awesome time we had.
