An update on the Patronal Stall and lunch: A very successful stall this year, as was the Patronal Lunch and of course, the service. A huge thank you to everyone who was involved over the weekend, setting up and putting away. Also, a huge thank you to our guests: Bishop Bill Ray and Dr Robyn Ray for their amazing work and insights.
Lastly, a big thank you to everyone who purchased goods at the stall. We raised an excellent total of $756.83
We are still helping 'the poorest of the poor gain dignity through self-sufficiency'. We support 30 destitute widows and 60 orphans. They live in the rural areas with no running water or electricity. We sponsor a young man doing a degree in Metallurgy at Zimbabwe University, and a student at a private secondary school.
If you feel the Lord calling you to help either by prayer and/or funding, please contact me. Phone 0448 107 401, email - timdufton@gmail.com
Jesus said "...I appointed you that you may bear fruit." John 15:16
"It is very cold in winter in the highlands of Zimbabwe, where the 30 destitute women caring for orphans live. They have no heating and sleep on the ground. We want to send them 30 very large blankets so they can snuggle up together. The blankets cost $45 each. If you can help, please contact me on phone 0448 107 401 or email timdufton@gmail.com.
Thank you - keep warm!
