The rains have finally come. This will be a hard year again as there is now not enough time before the dry season starts again to plant maize. Some will plant cow-peas, sunflower or sweet potatoes, but most will fail again to reap any harvest. Thanks for praying for folk out here.
If you look at our "Latest Letter" page and on the "Projects We Are Interested In" page, you will see some ways that in these last days you can come along side of us financially. We would like to leave with all things in order - though in this life we know that the Lord is the one who actually calms the sea. Our ideas reflect areas of our concern - they don't always reveal what the Lord wants to happen ... so please pray about any involvement you might consider.
There are plenty of great opportunities to serve the Lord here in Zimbabwe. It takes a lot of effort and support to be able to serve in a place like Karanda Mission Hospital. It is a great place where folk can invest their time and resource in something of eternal value. Thanks to all that have been on our ministry team. Maybe you would like to know more? Feel free to connect with us.
Lots of love,
Jon & Kathy Christiansen

There are always cool things to look at in Zimbabwe
The Karanda Mission Primary School Choir that did well in competition this last term
Graves prepared in our grave yard for children who die at birth. Two or three of these are filled each week. Thanks for praying for the hospital.
A showing of the Jesus Film Project, Kufamba Na Jesu series at a place called Da-te

Remember, we would love to see new Doctors, nurse educators, chaplain service folk, maintenance people, and elementary school teachers from around the world working at Karanda. Another way to come is through SIM, another mission sending agency. TEAM is a great way to come too.
