Faithful Stewards Programme pt 1

Alan Norton, Zulu Dube and Make Mwenda from the Faithful Stewards Programme came out to Kezi, Bulawayo and held a two day training at Shalom Camp Site.
A group of about 30 people from 9 different churches attended the training. The churches involved were Crossroads Community Church, New Creation, Zion, United Penticostal Church, Seventh day Adventist, Thembalezizwe, RoL Westgate, New Life and Kingdom People. It was great seeing people come together and demonstrating the unity of the body of Christ. Each person stood up and told the group something of themselves as a “connecting” time. The farmers shared their problems and what they thought was the solution.

The problem in Africa was shared together with vision, strategy and the folly of ploughing. The Grassroots team did well explaining the problem in Africa – especially using a visual aid in the form of the Foundations for Farming Training manual.

Alan Norton explained about making a planting string and in-between were many questions from the farmers.

Planting string

One of the highlights was when the farmers had a social time canoeing. Many went on the water for the first time and LOVED it. Letter Ndlovu, the wife of the Village Head was a shining example by braving the waters and really enjoying herself. Another highlight was the song/prayer session in the evening. It was just amazing seeing people from different Churches worshipping together and focusing on the Living God. How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.
