"A Story of Redemption ..."

Hello friends of ANESU ...

We didn't get off to a very good start this year as far as regular up-dates are concerned. The busyness we've encountered is no excuse, and I apologize. Thank you for bearing with me.

Fact is, there's a lot to report on ... maybe so much that that's what's made it difficult to know where to start! With two team visits in the first two months of the year, a few days in-between to adjust to the transitions required and prepare for what's coming next, then a month to give attention to some urgent needs at the ANESU base, it just seems as if the days have flown by!

We'll write more soon in celebration of the experiences we enjoyed with the visiting teams, and personal delight we encountered by virtue of the inclusion of close family members in one. We'll include details of the second strategic church-to-church partnership we've over-seen. We'll share about the exciting changes taking place at the ANESU base.

In the meantime, we just HAD to tell this amazing story of the redemptive power of God, and of one of the many examples we constantly encounter here of the way men and women have tuned their hearts to the heart of God. It's very evident in the way they're responding with genuine compassion to the disadvantaged of Zimbabwean society.

Rejoice with us on behalf of these two precious young ladies, and pray for Pastor Henry, his wife and for the young ladies themselves as they all continue to unwrap the gift that they've found in one another.

I appreciate you, and am very grateful!

Bless you,

Bud
