the evening of my first day back Nola and I were invited to a dinner to recognize the visit of Casten's pastor from Zimbabwe. Casten and Rumiko were married there in August. The meal was held in the home of Ben and Linda Milbourne. Ben travelled to Zimbabwe to represent all of us at the wedding. All of these guys are building church down at the ANU and have been reaching oversease students. They are all doing a great job and have seen some wonderful things accomplished.
These two wonderful servants of God from Zimbabwe combine pastoring a local congregation with itinerant evangelistic crusades. They have a audio tape ministry and also videos that have had great impact over a wide part of this very troubled nation. Of course the inflation rate makes it the next thing to impossible to get resources and to make them available at a price people can afford.
They also need sound gear for using in their crusades. We have just had experience of how a good sound system makes all the difference in these meetings. Thousands of people show up and you either have to be another George Whitefield or John Wesley OR have a decent sound system.
It was a joy for me to have breakfast with them before they returned to Sydney to preach there over the weekend and then back home to Zimbabwe on Monday.
