Sorry it has been so long since I updated this blog!

I have spent the week at Penhalonga orphanage in Mutare, Zimbabwe. I must say first of all how much I love and adore those children. They are so lively and fun! However, I must also say how very saddened I am every time I visit that place. It is badly kept, in need of urgent repairs and maintenance and in need of injections of money and food supplies. The children are wearing the same clothes as in January when I visited last. In fact the whole mission is badly kept. In England it would have certainly been condemned many years ago. I pray for this mission and for the children there. We have identified a number of their teenage orphans that may be possiblities for candidates into Tariro House...

which brings me to Tariro House! Last week the house was empty but the paint on the walls! This week is is filled with furniture. God has used people to bless us SO much! The story is quite funny really... last week we were in need of things, this week we can almost give things away!!! We still need beds, as people are unwilling to give up their own for us hahaha! We still need beds and matresses, other than that we are doing so well. I can truly say that Tariro House feels like a home.

Our chicken project starts this week... we have built a chicken run and we go to purchase 100 chicks on Friday. These will be used to produce income for our youngsters.

We launch our project on Saturday with a big party, house dedication and holy communion celebrations... over 100 people are expected including a number of choirs and local orphans and orphanages. God is truly ''good'' and is blessing the Tariro Youth Project in Zimbabwe beyond belief.
