Hello from Sherry in Zimbabwe

Hi Sue

Thank you for your email response and the money Rich was able to transfer to our church account amounting to 60 billion in various tranches. The crazy thing is we are only able to cash 1 billion dollars per day at the moment (Reserve Bank ruling )and any mealie meal we source they require cash so we are cashing cheques almost every day. We have accumulated quite a lot of mealie meal now and if there are no rallies or trouble on the road out to Saffron we will go out after church on Sunday to distribute what we have and take photos to send on to you.
I shared on Sunday after church at our meeting with Donny and Mathilda your greetings and the possibility of sponsorship for the children. They are excited about all that God is doing in the Saffron community and the amazing networking across the world that God has opened up.
Levison is doing well and attended last Saturdays meeting so we thank God for His healing touch on this young man and his growing strength.
There is one grandmother who is taking care of (I think 8 or thereabouts haven't got my list with me) children and she has asked for help with school fees so we are asking for invoices from the various schools and will also assist in supporting these children with schooling. Several children require medication and again we have asked for prescriptions from the clinics to be able to source the medication and will assist where we can.
Despite all the troubles in Zimbabwe and the news reports we know that our Heavenly Father is our source of strength and we continue to look to God for our security.
May God bless you

Will send photos soon

Sherry
