Last month I wrote about the people who we love dearly and are now trying to be and make disciples. In particular, some are meeting in Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe. Harare is a tough place to live, much less to make disciples. It’s expensive, crime and unemployment are high, and traffic is bad. You can see in the photo some of the ones you have been praying for over the past few years.
There are even two there who I do not know yet and that means that our disciples are making new disciples. These young people do not attend a church together. Instead, they are with their families on Sundays. Currently, we don’t plan to start a new congregation, but we will see what happens after they make disciples who in turn make disciples. These dear people not only want to stay in touch with each other but also with me and Sarah. That is why as I write this, I am packing for a weekend trip to Harare. If all goes well, I will have a string of conversations with those I have known well over the past five years.
