It was just excellent meeting Cha Cha and Becky from Australia and hosting them for an evening. What a privilege getting to know what God is doing in different continents. This is what Cha Cha said.......
M.M: Tell me briefly about your background?
E.C: I originally come from the Philippines and came to Sydney, Australia in February 1999. As a team of 6 people, we were on our way to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea to minister for 3 months. We were in Sydney for a month ministering to several churches and getting ready to go to Port Moresby when we received a call telling us not to go because of civil unrest and the people there could not guarantee our safety. I released the team to do what they felt God was telling each one of us to do. I stayed in Sydney to just live out my one year visa but God had other plans for me and I’ve been living in Australia ever since.
M.M: How long have you known Brian Oldreive?
E.C: I met Brian recently in Sydney when he was there sometime in April 2011.
M.M: Nice! What have been the highlights of your stay in Zimbabwe?
E.C: Meeting people doing ministry in Zimbabwe.....in Harare, at Antelope Park and you and Stephen here in Bulawayo.
M.M: What work are you involved with in Australia?
E.C: I’m in full time ministry and do pastoral work with Radiance of Jesus Christ in Sydney, with Faith Christian Community Church in Melbourne, I work with 47 pastors in Payatas, Philippines, I co-ordinate a missions trip one a year to the Philippines for Impact nations based in Vancouver, Canada.
M.M: Did you eat any strange foods while in Zimbabwe?
E.C: I haven’t encountered strange food!
M.M: What is your favourite quote?
E.C: “Generosity will break the back of poverty.”
M.M: Thanks so much Cha Cha. Wonderful meeting you!
