One on one with Ginger Marie Price



Ginger Marie Price at Crossroads



Ginger was on a Life Change Team from America that visited Sam and Marlene Poe in Kezi. Ginger attends Jubilee church, St Louis, City Location, Midwest in Missouri and she has been attending this church over 10 years. Jubilee Church is led by Bryon Mowrey.

M.M: Tell me more about your background?
G.P: I was born in Sacramento, California and as a toddler I lived in Japan. When I was 5 years old, my family moved back to Eastern Oregon where I grew up on a wheat ranch. So, agriculture is a big part of my background. I lived there until I was 26 years old before I moved to St Louis. I’ve been there ever since.

M.M: What work are you involved with?
G.P: Currently, I’m working in Marketing and Communication for a global animal feed Ingredient Company. I work with teams all over the world to market and sell products and I love it. It’s an opportunity where I’m able to work part time so I can serve the Church.

M.M: Is this your first time in Africa and particularly Zimbabwe?
G.P: Yes.

M.M: What are your impressions of Zimbabwe so far?
G.P: Beautiful, beautiful country. The people are amazing and I’m learning about the passion the people have for God and to see beyond Zimbabwe. I feel there is a lot I can learn from them.

M.M: What are your thoughts on Crossroads?
G.P: I really had a good time during worship. As much as it feels like things are different, they are the same. I sense God’s presence here as at home and I feel that connection. We are all part of God’s kingdom.

M.M: Any words of encouragement?
G.P: If there is anything in your heart to go to a Nation with a different culture, make it a priority to go. You will learn about yourself and it changes you forever. You will be better for it.

M.M: Excellent! It’s been GREAT having you out here in Kezi. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Zimbabwe.

Joyce Meyer in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

What a treat having an all time favourite lady right here in the City of Kings – Bulawayo. People swarmed in from Botswana, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Australia, United states of America, Victoria Falls, Gweru and areas in and around Bulawayo to listen to Joyce Meyer speak and be blown away by Darlene Zschech and Hillsong. About 7000 – 8000 people packed a huge hall at the Trade Fair Grounds in Bulawayo on Thursday 3 June.

Darlene was outstanding to say the least. People were just on a “high” for God. Joyce Meyer shared her testimony and spoke about encouragement. She shared about how easy it is to get discouraged and spurred folk on to keep on keeping on. A quotable quote she used was “Double for my trouble”….What the enemy has taken away like in the case of Job, God will give back double. It’s time to rise from the ashes. When everyone says you’re finished…..you say “watch me rise up…” and you’ll RISE UP!

The atmosphere was just magic, uplifting and truly awesome!

Joyce had her 67th birthday in Zimbabwe and her 10th grandchild was born while she and her husband Dave were in Zimbabwe. The blessings of the Lord shall overtake “them”.

Thought for the day: "Do Not Worry..."

Matthew 6:25 - 28a


"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life
what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food
and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air,
for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they?
Which of you by worrying can add
one cubit to his stature?
So why do you worry........."
