It's also very important to pray for our savety. We were very much harashed and attacked the previous time. In comparison with the West, that is a holocaust. Hundreds of thousands of people now have heavy debts as a result of the expensive traditional funeral ceremonies. Thousands of AIDS-sufferers are becoming Christians.
People pay attention to the gospel wherever it is preached, and new churches are being planted.
Ten years ago, Zimbabwe's Christian leaders agreed to work together in the 'Target 2000' framework, with the aim of doubling the nation's 10,000 Christian churches by the year 2000. In 1995, Heidi and Rolland Baker travelled to Mozambique as missionaries, to work with street children in the world's poorest nation. Heidi became seriously ill in 1997, but was completely healed through prayer during a visit to the Toronto Airport Fellowship. Following their return to Mozambique, they now not only care for over 1,000 orphans, but also train pastors, who have planted over 500 new churches. In February 2001, they experienced Cholera epidemic in their missions center in Zimpeto.
