"Introducing ZIM TEAM 2011 ..."

Dear friends ...

As I write this, the first three members of Zim TEAM 2011 from Covenant Church in Doylestown PA are in the air and on their way to join ANESU for a two-week vision trip.

Please pray with us for travelling mercies, for a safe arrival, that all their luggage arrives with them, and that their time with us here will be enriching to everyone involved. May it all redound to God's eternal glory.

Bless you.

"December 2011 Up-Date ..."

Hello friends ...

Eight weeks on the road, living out of suitcases and staying in generous people's homes, tends to put a kink in one's best intentions to maintain regular reporting. Our days have been very full ... and very fulfilling.

We're grateful ... so very grateful for the expressions of love we've received from friends along the way.

We've been back at base for a little while now, but we've continued to run hard to care for the many things that have needed attention before we can turn our attention back to Zimbabwe.

I write this from a Motel room in Calgary, after a great meeting with friends in Lethbridge, Alberta this afternoon. I flew in from Abbotsford early this morning, and fly back in the morning. Only one more trip to go once I get back to base ... this time a road trip up and over the snowy Rockies ... before I can finally pause, take a few deep breaths and enjoy family for the brief time we'll have together over the Christmas season.

Mandy's been doing good justice to the kinds of things I can't stand ... like paper work and bookkeeping ... ugh! She does such a great job, and I'm thankful to be able to entrust it all to her.

It's going to be great to stop ... even if for a brief moment or two.

May you and yours be blessed as you give attention to the wonderful dynamics of family and friends this season.

Thanks for remembering us and the rest of the ANESU team as we embark on another year's adventure in Zimbabwe!

I appreciate you.

"In Celebration of The Children ..."

After a brief but very fulfilling time in North America, Bud and Mandy Jackson ... project directors of ANESU ... will be returning, before the end of the year, to their responsibilities in Zimbabwe .

It's comforting to know that they are not alone in their endeavour, but represent an army of people committed to the vision of ANESU.

This clip is dedicated to the children. A few of them depicted here are sons and daughters of committed pastors and foster home care givers, but the majority are children without one or both parents due to AIDS.

It's comforting to know that many of ANESU's North American partners have come to know the names and stories of many of these children. It's even more comforting to know that ANESU's partners regularly lift these children up before the throne of grace in prayer.
