Saltash Church supports Zimbabwe partner

Wesley church Saltash, has found a way of supporting the church in Mbare , Zimbabwe, with which it has been partnered for many years. A website has been established through which the Wesley treasurer can pay for petrol purchased in Zimbabwe at a reasonable price in sterling.

This enables Mr Clever Tabaziba, who leads the Environment Programme of Zimbabwe Methodist Church, to continue his work. He travels the country teaching people how to build cooking stoves with local materials, which use only one-seventh of the wood needed for open-fire cooking. He also teaches people how to harvest water during the rainy season. Because of the situation in Zimbabwe, exchange visits have not been possible for many years but links are maintained through the sharing of news and regular meetings for prayer.
