 *Greater Harare WEF Service update*

The Greater Harare Mubatanidzwa Wemadzimai is currently conducting its quarterly service at the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe in Tafara. The event attracted over 1,000 women from the metropolitan province. During the service, Rev. Thodhlana, Chair of the ZCC LEF, delivered a significant presentation on peace and conflict transformation, with a particular emphasis on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), which poses a major threat to peace among women.

This service is especially timely as the nation prepares to commemorate the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV. These days are set aside to raise awareness of the impact of violence against women, promote initiatives aimed at prevention and support, and encourage communities to unite in the fight against GBV. 

Below are some of the pictures taken during the service

Tearfund Facilitates Drought Relief Efforts

Tearfund Facilitates Drought Relief Efforts

international   November 20, 2024

 When the worst drought in 40 years hit Kenya, Lokhu, who lives in Marsabit County, could no longer afford to keep her children in school. Hunger quickly became a frightening reality for her family, who went from having two meals a day to just one. And, as they live five miles from the closest borehole, without water they were not going to survive.

‘There is a borehole, but it is far away, so we cannot walk there and bring water back. The donkeys have died, and so we can’t use them to bring water. Sometimes we go a week without water,’ says Lokhu.

Tearfund’s local church partner provided emergency support. Since then, together we have helped the community rebuild and introduced vital training so people would not be so severely impacted by climate change. This has included drought-resistant farming techniques, so families can stand strong in the face of the climate crisis.

It’s not God’s plan for anyone to live in poverty, but countless people around the world are stuck, unable to provide for their families. This Christmas, you can help families like Lokhu’s around the world break the cycle and leave poverty for good. Please donate now. https://brnw.ch/21wOKTv

Memory Of The Righteous

 TOWER OF POWER

By Major Gamuchirai Foroma

Territorial Spiritual Life Development Secretary and THQ Chaplain

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Proverbs 10:7 KJV

The memory of the righteous is blessed.

Have you ever remembered someone with a smile? It might be because of a bond that was between you, the wonderful deeds that impacted your life, and many other good things.

Everyone wishes to be remembered well.

However, we should know that everything we do today builds up to be memories tomorrow, maybe when we will no longer be there.

Both the wicked and the just will die, and thus, we should build better memories in the hearts of those that surround us. 

We need to touch as many lives as we can as long as we live.

May we choose to be a blessing today, and our names will live forever.

"A righteous man will be remembered forever." Psalms 112:6

It is always a blessing to be remembered for good deeds.

Remember Thabitha/Dorcas used to do good in giving a hand to others.

When she died, those whom she helped had to find a way for her to be brought back to life.

Just imagine, if you die today, would people be willing and praying for you to be brought back to them?

Let us always do good. Touch lives, and your name will be remembered forever.

Be a blessing to God and to men! - Salvationist online

 Empowering Women and Fighting Malnutrition in Gwanda Ward 13

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) through  the Felm funded Supplementary Feeding Program distributed  indigenous chickens to 20 vulnerable women in Gwanda Ward 13. This initiative, is a vital step toward combating malnutrition and improving food security in the district.

Notably, indigenous chickens provide a sustainable source of nutrition for vulnerable groups, including children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. Beyond nutrition, this project empowers women economically, enabling them to start small-scale poultry farming to generate additional household income. During the distribution, the ZCC team, supported by the AGRITEX Extension Officer, trained beneficiaries on poultry care and management to maximize long-term benefits. Grateful recipients shared their excitement, recognizing the positive impact this initiative will have on their families' well-being.

Together, we’re fostering resilience, empowering communities, and promoting sustainable farming practices.
