A WONDERFUL SECOND NIGHT AT THE MPOPOMA CRUSADE
A wonderful second night at the Mpopoma Crusade. Thousands receiving Jesus; Blind eyes, deaf ears and crippled legs healed. Our Lord Jesus is truly the Same today! I taught our Pastors for 4 hours today and then ministered 2 hours at the Crusade. Tired but happy that the Lord has seen it fit to entrust us with so much! Glory to our Lord Jesus!

MZILIKAZI CRUSADE ENDS WITH SIGNS, WONDERS AND A HARVEST OF SOULS!
MZILIKAZI ZIMBABWE – End of Crusade Report.
The Mzilikazi Crusade just ended with powerful manifestations of the Lord’s Presence and Power. As I had mentioned in my last report, it was a small crusade because we were in between the two worst places for violent crimes in Bulawayo, and people were very afraid to venture out of their homes after dark. Added to this was the very cold weather in the evenings. In spite of these factors we saw thousands of people come to Jesus and many Baptized with the Holy Ghost on the last night. We saw criminals try to disrupt the crusade, but we warned and dealt very strongly with the troublemakers. One man came armed and attacked one of our workers, but our team subdued him very quickly, disarmed him and handed him to the police. It turned out that this man was part of an extremely violent gang and was wanted for many crimes! The police were most grateful. Unfortunately, there was no reward for turning him in (just kidding…… I do much better as a preacher than a bounty hunter!)!!!
We saw the Lord do many miracles in the last three evenings since my last report……..
An 18 year old girl who was born deaf and mute was brought to the crusade. Jesus touched her; she began to hear and to speak, repeating what I spoke. The crowd erupted into cheers, shouting and praising God.
A young woman who had a stroke and was brought paralyzed in her left arm and leg. Our Lord Jesus touched her and she was healed. Then there was a blind lady who received her sight. A young girl who was “almost” totally blind (she would be called “legally blind” in the US) also received her sight.
Several others who were more or less crippled and could not move or walk without support/help ran and danced for joy. One young men had been paralyzed in his right leg because of cancer in that leg. God healed him. He leaped, ran and danced for joy! Many deaf ears were opened, a lady testified that a large tumor in her hand had instantly and totally disappeared. There were many other outstanding miracles that are too numerous to report here.
All Glory to our Lord Jesus! What a Wonderful Savior we serve! Let us stay close to Him, Love Him, follow Him and serve Him with all our hearts! Hallelujah!
Do pray for our next Crusade and School of Ministry for Pastors in Mpopma Township starting this Wednesday!
In Christ

SIGNS AND WONDERS IN MZILAZI ZIMBABWE
VICTORY REPORT - MZILIKAZI – SECOND NIGHT REPORT
The Mzilikazi crusade is on. The crusade is actually being held at the junction of Mzilikazi and Makokoba, two of the “worst” townships in the Bulawayo Area when it comes to violent crime. As a consequence, people are afraid to leave their homes at night. This crusade therefore is not as large as some of our other crusades, but in a sense it is very important because people here badly need the Gospel. This is the first ever large Gospel Outreach in this area.
Thousands of people have heard the Gospel and have received our Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In addition to this we are seeing the Lord do many wonderful miracles in our midst. In these two nights we have seen four crippled people get up and and walk. One of these was a lady who had been bound in a wheelchair for 5 years. When the Power of God touched her, she stood up from her wheelchair, began to walk and then to dance and rejoice to the cheers of the crowd. Another man had become crippled after a medication that he had been given for treatment from another disease went wrong. He had been crippled and unable to walk for two years. Jesus healed him and he ran and danced.
We have seen a good number of deaf people receive their hearing. Some with severely impaired eyesight have received their sight and many others have testified of other miracles that the Lord had done for them. One lady had her right arm useless and paralyzed for many years and the Lord healed her.
Do keep us in prayer and stand in faith with us for a great harvest of souls for Jesus!
In Christ Jesus

IMPORTANT REPORT FROM OUR ZIMBABWE FARM AND ORPHANAGE PROJECT
I am in Africa right now, holding two Crusades and a School of Ministry in Zimbabwe. My team and I are expecting great things from God!
I am sharing here with my Facebook friends a VERY IMPORTANT Report. It is the latest on our Farm, Orphanage and Church-Planting School project in Zimbabwe.
Aaron Zimmerman, a full-time farmer here in Lancaster PA where I live, visited our Farm and inspected the place in detail. He has written a very good short Report from his viewpoint as an experienced professional. I am attaching his report for you to read. Please read it carefully; I am open to any feedback or input that you have.
AARON ZIMMERMAN'S REPORT:
I talked with different people in my travels and it looks like it is a new day in Zimbabwe. The testimonies I heard in South Africa and on the plane was that Zimbabwe is full of great potential and good people. After meeting Pastor Mavondo, Pastor Christopher Alam’s Director of Operations in Africa, I can feel confident that he is a good man of integrity and that his knowledge in agriculture and his excitement for the Farm, Orphanage and Church=Planting School ministry will bring successes. The soil is very hard thus requiring large equipment but I saw nearby farms there that have irrigation and the crops are good. The economy is looking better, the stores have stock again and they now work with US dollars.
Equipment:
Tractors and Farm Equipment are cheaper to buy in neighboring South Africa, and there are no Importation or Customs taxes in crossing the border. There are good maintenance service facilities in Zimbabwe to do repair work. Just stay away from equipment that is computer controlled.
In South Africa there has been a shakedown in Agriculture. They have gone down from 80,000 farms to 20,000, so this has put some equipment on the market. It costs $2500 to truck equipment from South Africa to Zimbabwe. I gave Pastor M. some dealer magazines that I picked up in South Africa. I recommend that he or someone that he trusts go and buy what they need. Pastor Mavondo seemed to know and to understand farming equipment.
In South Africa I found a John Deere dealer, AFGRI, www.afrgi.co.za . They seemed very professional, friendly and helpful and they are part of a network of 80 dealerships. They can provide parts and would be good guys to deal with. I have several photos of their large inventory.
Wells:
Irrigation Boreholes/Wells are needed for irrigation purposes. There are 3 existing boreholes but they have only 2” pipes and are good for gardening only.
Gold Mining:
There are 64 men that are working in the mines. Some have had to stop due to the water in several of the mines and in others hitting hard rock. There they need a jack hammer and some explosives.
They hit water in three of the eight mines where they are digging for gold and this needs to be pumped out before these 3 can go on mining. This should be pumped into a reservoir for irrigation use. Just pumping it out on the land will only create wet spots that will become waste land and it is very likely that the other mines will produce water also. For this water pump is needed urgently.
The wages system is structured that the miners get 50% of the income minus the costs of equipment and hauling to get ore to the processing system, leaving them with about 20-30%.
I recommend that money be sent to buy water pumps, compressors, jack hammers explosives and a means to reserve water ASAP.
Seed etc:
Farmers can’t get loans so many are planting less acres thus making the seed supply plenteous. Less acres means less grains at the end of the season which should help to keep grain prices high and storage space at the mill should not be a problem. The place grain would be unloaded is around 2-3 miles from fields. Grain is mostly bought by the government but also privately owned mills and so on, this should help to keep prices strong. Barley $600, corn $800, and soy $800-1000 per metric tons.
Management:
There are I think 5 people on the board or management team and all have extensive experience the departments that they are to oversee. Pastor Mavondo gave up his right hand equipment driver from his own farm for this project. This man was trained to be an equipment dealer and I am confident after watching him operate some of the equipment that he will take good care of anything sent there. There is also a team of 16 men on security most of them wear more than one hat.
Gold Separating site:
They should be ready in about a week or less to start. There could be some unforeseen things to work out. The men have been digging for 3 weeks and have a pile of ore ready.

A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY IN ZIMBABWE! - LATEST NEWS ON THE AFRICA FARM PROJECT
Dear Brothers and Sisters
Greetings in Jesus Name!
As you have heard, AWAKE Churches of Africa have come under our ministry. So I along with my leadership team now oversee over 100 churches in Zimbabwe, Mocambique, Botswana and South Africa. AWAKE Churches have also brought with them a huge Farm of 400 Hectares (1000 Acres) which they had purchased 18 years ago. It has been lying idle for years, but now we can do something with it! We want to grow food in it and start an Orphanage and a one-year Church-Planting School that would be supported by the income from the Farm. The Zimbabwe government likes our idea and have offered us THREE Farms for similar projects! I have, however, said that we want to do this one first before taking on any more such projects.
Our Farm in Zimbabwe is 400 Hectares (1000 Acres), of which 650 Acres are ready for tilling. The food situation in Zimbabwe is very dire, and I want our farm to be fully productive as soon as possible. I have in Zimbabwe a team of experienced agronomists with farming experience (from our churches) who are excited and ready to run this project. I also have an “Advisory Team” of agronomists here in the US to advise us.
If we were to bring the WHOLE FARM under cultivation in this coming sowing season in October, what we would need is US$370,000 right now.
US$ 200,000 For Tractors, Combines, Spreaders, Plows etc
US$ 70,000 for Boreholes wells and irrigation pipes. They cost US$ 10,000 each
US$ 100,000 for seed, fertilizers and build basic infrastructure on the Farm.
Once the farm becomes productive, we can go on to build the Orphanage and the Church Planting School.
But realistically, it is too short time for us to get these funds, so we want to do as much as we possibly can with whatever funds we can get by October!
I already have US$ 10,000 set aside for 1 Borehole Well and Irrigation pipes.
The good news is that we have gold in the land. This has been verified by Government Mining Experts who have come and inspected the farm. Our Farm is right in the middle of Zimbabwe’s “Mineral belt”. Another good thing is that the gold deposits are not too deep in the earth. We do not have to dig far to get it!
For around US$20,000 We can get the necessary equipment and begin to mine the gold immediately. The profits from the gold will go straight into the Farm so that we can start farming in October. We can rent tractors etc for the time being until we get our own equipment.
The quicker we start farming, the quicker we can go on to build the Orphanage and the Church-Planting school. God is telling us to dream big and to expect great things from Him! We shall win souls and plant churches all throughout the Southern and South-Central African region. We shall feed the poor and feed the needy!
Whatever you could help us with would be a blessing to us. The more help we can get, the more we can do for the Kingdom of God. So please join your heart and your faith together with us!
Also note that this does not in any way infringe upon our primary calling to win souls for Jesus. Our Gospel Crusades continue with undiminished zeal, passion and vision to reach the lost with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus!
With much love, in Christ
Your brother
