It broke our hearts when we arrived in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, for the first time and found so many in line for treatment. They’d spent the night there, sleeping on the cold hard ground, waiting for us. We saw so much poverty and sickness at that Clinic that we can only imagine what we might encounter now given Zimbabwe’s current turmoil. May this next Medical Outreach bring hope, life, and health – both physically and spiritually – to each one the Lord brings our way.
At that time, we saw much poverty and sickness among the Lemba and their neighbors. We can only imagine what we might encounter now, given Zimbabwe’s current turmoil. We will offer all we can, and we deeply desire your partnership in prayer as we do. May this Medical Outreach bring hope, life, and health – both physically and spiritually – to each one the Lord brings our way.
Please help cover the Masvingo, Zimbabwe, Medical Outreach in prayer by signing up to pray from home for a half-hour or more. The full list of daily prayer requests is listed below. Through your prayers, the Lemba and their neighbors can be touched by the care and salvation only Yeshua (Jesus) can bring.
