Showers of Blessings, Zimbabwe
Showers of Blessing was established by the Associated Churches of Christ in Zimbabwe in 2007. The organization has been drilling wells in drought-prone rural areas since that time. A well makes a huge impact on a village. It provides safe water, reducing diseases like cholera and diarrhoea. Access to safe water means that a greater variety of vegetables can be grown, improving nutrition, which is especially important for people with HIV/Aids. Reliable water also means that new income-generating activities can be started, for example growing vegetables or brickmaking.

The church craft group, “Let’s Get Together”, meets monthly on the 3rd Wednesday at 10am in the church complex. The next meeting for 2016 will be tomorrow, Wednesday 18th May.
The front foyer area of the church becomes a centre of interest as up to 12 busy participants apply
their talents to card making and other related crafts, and of course , friendly conversation.
Friendship is the underlying strength of the group, and it has been pleasing to have 5 women from the
wider community have been involved. May they be blessed by the ministry of friendship, encouragement & support we offer them in Jesus’ name .
Our group has in the past been able to contribute to the whole Church Family by making & presenting a small handmade bookmark to all women attending church on Mother’s Day, and to regions beyond our
local church by collecting and forwarding the knitted jumpers for children affected by AIDS in Africa.
All are welcome to come along.
For more details, contact Yvonne Mills on 08 8388 6519
