"September 2011 ANESU status Report"

The first Zimbabwe component of the first year of the outworking of the ANESU vision is coming to a close.

The first North American component of the global strategy is about to begin with our return to Vancouver, and on to attend a benefit concert hosted by South Ridge Community Church in Clinton, New Jersey, and to participate in an itinerary that will introduce us to other vital ministries in the region.

We've arrived at something of a milestone in the forward progress of ANESU, and it is with gratitude to our partners in North America and Zimbabwe that we offer this status report.

South Ridge Slide Show

How can a person put into the words what it's like to watch the birth of a strategic church-to-church partnership? How does one articulate the joy of seeing two churches from opposite sides of the globe come together in common cause to demonstrate Christ's compassion to the hurting and wounded ... to people impacted by HIV/AIDS?

It was a joy to receive the team of five from South Ridge Community Church, and to spend an amazing week with them ... seeing them engage relationally, and respond with open hearts to a variety of new things.

In a day and age where so much "help" from the Western world does so much damage to the very people it seeks to help, ANESU is grateful to be able to broker the right kind of connection in the right kind of way with the right kind of partners on both sides of the ocean. The blessing that results flows both ways.

Enjoy this slide show over-view that offers a great visual of the South Ridge team's time with us in Zimbabwe.
