Dear Friends and Family,

It is Sunday night and Dan and I are sitting here in the fading light listening to a worship CD and worshiping along with it. What a beautiful place to be. What a privilege to enter into His presence. Praise to God our Father who made it possible through our Lord Jesus. The veil has been torn! Thank you Jesus!

Life has been busy and good. At the beginning of the year we opened a class made available to church leaders throughout the city. We are into the 7^th week of that class which meets on Tuesday mornings. We feel the class has been a good success. The students have been diligent in attendance and have expressed much excitement over what they are learning. Each class is ended in prayer time for about 45 minutes and the presence of the Lord has been awesome and powerful. We plan on doing it again next school term and are anticipating a larger turnout.

Zimbabwe continues to struggle especially with basics like water and electricity. Water and electricity cuts are the norm and our part of town is one of the hardest hit areas for these cuts. Our electricity is cut 12 to 16 hours a day very frequently and water cuts are nearly as frequent. We have water stored in several places in the house and refill the containers when water is available. We purchased an inverter which runs on a car battery which supplies light to each room in the house and can run our TV and DVD player. Last year we also purchased a small gas stove which we are so thankful for. Even still we often feel like we are camping in our own house. Please continue to hold this country in your prayers and also for our patience in a difficult situation.

Recently we had a visit from Mr. Mpofu, the evangelist from the Silobela area. This is the area where we do a lot of feeding projects and also where Dan and our friend Keyford have done training with the Farming God’s Way program. Mr. Mpofu brought some of the maize (corn) cobs to share with us. Those who have implemented the Farming God’s Way methods have had good success. Their harvest will be a good one. The ears of corn Mr. Mpofu brought to us are bigger and healthier than any I’ve seen come from that area. Praise God for His faithfulness.

We have good news. Our son Robby and his wife Tatum are expecting their first child in August this year. Yeah!!! We are grandparents again! We had planned to be in the States for a furlough in April this year but we have postponed it to be there after the baby is born and for a longer time afterwards. So we will come in July. Some funds have begun to come in to pay for airline tickets but we still have a long way to go. If it is on your heart to contribute in this way please make checks out to Vision for Africa and write ‘Tickets’ in the memo. Send all contributions to:

Dear Friends and Family,

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus. We are looking forward to the upcoming Resurrection weekend. Our schedule is full starting Good Friday morning through the whole weekend. I love the unity here in Gweru which is more obvious during the Resurrection holiday than any other time. We will be together with all the English speaking churches in town for a service on Friday morning and all our activities throughout the weekend are with varying church groups. How exciting.

The class we were teaching on Tuesday mornings, the School of Ministry, has finished for this term. April is a school holiday month. We will open the class again next term. The students were eager for the class to run again so they can encourage their friends to attend. The last day of class was a good conclusion to an awesome term. We finished up by having lunch together. Many good relationships were established during the past 9 weeks and we anticipate more good things to come.

We are excited as July draws nearer to be in the US for furlough. We anticipate good things. We have found airline tickets at an excellent price with a huge savings. We are eager to make the booking and purchase the tickets. Please make any contributions toward that soon. The time is drawing near quickly.

One exciting event that we hope will transpire while we are in the US is the publication of a novel that we have written. It is nearly completed and we are in the process of making a proposal to publishers via Christian Manuscripts Submissions online. We never dreamed of getting a book published but this has been inspired and led of the Lord from the very beginning. Dan got the idea for the book from a dream that we believe was from the Lord. The rest just followed and we are eager to follow through with it till the end and see what God does with it. Please pray.

Prayer Needs: Speaking engagements over the Resurrection weekend.

Upcoming Furlough

Publication of Novel

God bless you all. We will be putting together our schedule for our furlough months in the next few months. We would love to spend some time with you. Check your calendars and let us know when. Also we recently acquired Broadband so we are on Skype which we love. We talk to our family in the US often. If you are on Skype, give us a call. Our Skype name is danandtheresa52

Love in Christ,

Dan and Theresa McArthur
