Mystical Spring

This summer one of my columns was dedicated to the conflict in Zimbabwe where thousands of people live day to day without any horizon of hope. Now that a somewhat fragile government has been agreed upon, supplies for people having markedly diminshed and sources are telling me that it won’t be long before all food supplies are gone. There is no food to be bought in shops and no food for the Hospital at Chidamoyo where patients are given food along with care.

But there is a way for you and I to help this dire situation!

Check out www.sadza.com. It is a way to get food directly to patients. 10 kg of beans feed all hospital in patients for 2 meals! What is needed are; beans, sugar, salt and cooking oil. Imagine…those are iems we take for granted and yet in Zim, life is changed with so little. Our $10.00 can do so much to change lives.

 When you order food, pls say that it should be sent to: Chidamoyo Christian Hospital via Swift depot in Karoi. If you need a phone number use; 2KATHY@bushmail.net.

That is what Jesus tells us. When all else fails, these are the only three words I can fall back on. They are what Jesus said to his disciples–male and female. It is what he pronounced from the cross–be not afraid, they know not what they do. It is what he said to the ones he loved as he entered the room and said, Peace be with you, my friends! Peace.”

Be not afraid. I am with you. I am near you always. The resurrection as the picture of Hope for All, it is in the name of Jesus that we are able to persevere.

And as we persevere, we shall overcome. Such is the example and life lived of Jesus.
