A Glimpse of Zimbabwe

Date: 26 October 2009 - Added by: TEAM - http://www.teamworld.org/media/recent-videos.html?task=allvideoslist&from=40

This video depicts the very real and sobering condition of the nation of Zimbabwe. There is a sense of urgency for sharing the gospel to the Zibmabean people. Zimbabwe has a population of about 12.5 million people and roughly 43.9% of that population is under the age of 15. The average life expectancy is 45.8 years of age which leaves most of its young people orphaned because of the HIV/AIDS pendemic.

God is good though. He is raising up people around the world to come together as the body of Christ to care for these young lives. The church in Zimbabwe as well as various organizations and initiatives are radically transforming the lives of these children. There is a lot of work to be done but if God can rescue all of humanity from their sin through one man Jesus, and build a community of worldwide followers of Jesus through twelve common men, then I am confident that He can use this living organism we call the church, and turn the tide in the nation of Zimbabwe. To God Be the Glory.
