It was a chilling winter day in Gugulethu, South Africa. Pastor Vuyo Nyabaza looked up from the task he was busy with – one of many involved with offering lunch for the hungry families in the impoverished area. His fingers were stiff with cold.

How You Can Be Part of a Long-term Solution for the Hurting and Hungry
Garai felt his stomach rumble in anticipation of a taste of “sadza ne nyama ye huku” as he joined the line of children waiting for a meal. Eventually the boy stepped into the shade of the lone tree where the large pot – almost as tall as him – was situated. Garai lives in a rural area of impoverished Zimbabwe, where…

In Africa, the opportunity to experience the building of a world around the Gospel—to just taste what living a Gospel life is like—is for the most part, just a distant and seemingly unattainable dream.
