Travelogue: I arrived home Thursday from an amazing 12 days in Zimbabwe Africa. See some pics HERE. Global Life Ministries plants churches, trains leaders, and supports ministries from one of the poorest parts of the country. An amazing team, led by Peter Mabasa, who are radically serving and sharing the gospel making a huge impact. You don’t have to be a big, wealthy church to make a big impact. You just have to be willing to say Yes to Jesus.
