News and prayer update – August 2025

We would also like to share with you this story of transformation from Gideon Chishamba, It demonstrates how God works in the lives of lost sheep in Zimbabwe and makes all the effort worthwhile. They provide vocational training and Isheunesu’s testimony from this program is a particularly moving story of rescue from despair, drug abuse, and alcohol dependency. Isheunesu (picture shown below) was brought to Peniel Centre, (Fountain of Life) where his journey to healing began. He started vocational training in Carpentry, and soon discovered not just a skill, but the dignity of creating, building, and contributing. As his hands shaped timber, his spirit was being reshaped too. Today, he has advanced into Motor Mechanics, preparing to sit for his November exams. But his transformation isn’t just vocational—it’s spiritual. At Peniel, he met Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, and now walks boldly in his faith. He’s on fire for God, passionate about sharing his testimony and determined to reach other vulnerable youth with the message of salvation and hope.
On behalf of the Trustees, many thanks again for your support and prayers.
