Sounds unbelievable! Feed a whole family for a month for NZ$30.00!

Tomorrow in our 3 worship services I plan to encourage everyone in our Church to make an offering for the suffering poor in Zimbabwe. We will take up an offering  at our Christmas Day worship service next Thursday. Zimbabwe’s Dictator, Robert Mugabe, and his army of soldiers thugs, have systematically destroyed their beautiful, productive Nation. 80% unemployment, complete social breakdown, hyper-inflation. Three months ago a can of Coke cost 5 Billion Zimbabwe dollars. Today that same can of Coke will cost you a cool 1 trillion Zim$!!! What a joke! What a tragedy. Thousands dying from malnutrition, from cholera, and from the pathetic incompetence and deliberate oppression of their “Government”. (The other tragedy in all this is the African Nations, the UN, and the rest of the World who sit on their hands, shake their heads in disapproval, and…. do nothing!)

How can I help?.

Chris and Mandy Baigent are old friends of mine. Chris was an Elder in the Spring Grove Church of Christ, when I was in the Youth Group there. For the past 10-15 years they have been visiting Churches in Zimbabwe, and building Mission Networks there. Their organization is called “Kiwi-Link Zimbabwe”. In Feb this year they visited our Church sharing the needs, raising finances and signing people up for child sponsorships. Theirs is a very grass-roots mission, low-cost, high value, trustworthy! They are seeking financial support to continue to bring meali-meal (a kind of corn feed that the people make into a corn porridge) into Zimbabwe. I know that if I give Chris and Mandy $1.00  that money will be used to help a family in Zimbabwe!

Maybe we can’t save Zimbabwe, but we can feed a family for a month for just NZ$30.00. Check out their website; kiwilink.org
