Greetings from an extremely hot and dry Zimbabwe! It was 18c degrees at 5:30am and it’s now 30c at Midday. It’s seriously hot and sticky with loads of mosquitoes at night!

We have had almost no rain for months now and drought is widespread throughout the country and region. Please pray our God will bring relief to the many who are suffering in these days.

Greetings from a mild and dry Zimbabwe! It was 9 degrees C at 5:30am and it’s now 24c at Midday..so it’s warming up even though this is our wintertime!

Dear Friends of Jabulani, Greetings from a hot, dry and drought ridden Zimbabwe, we pray you are well and enjoying our Lord Jesus Christ. We have had a good start to 2024 with everyone back at school and exams galore on the horizon. Grace is in her O level year and is exceptionally busy studying and doing extra lessons to help her get the required results to continue onward toward her goal of sitting A levels, please pray for her, she is struggling with Math and ICT and needs to really work hard for the required results.

t’s high Summer, the temps are in the mid 80’s and we have had our first rains already. The children have just finished school today for the Summer holidays and Dorothy and I  are looking forward to rest and fun having just returned to JABULANI after a wonderful fundraising trip to USA and a quick drop-in to our family in Northern Ireland!

Greetings from Jabulani Zimbabwe!

It’s Autumn now and Winter is fast approaching with colder mornings and nights but still mid 70’sF during the daytime, we are in full swing in our mid-school term and it’s all systems go for our precious children.

Grace, Blessing, Hope and Joseph are fully involved at Maranatha HS, they are studying well and would love to get better results in their exams, please pray they will understand all they are taught and will be able to produce what is needed in the exams ahead. It has been a great few months with these older children, our greatest goal in bringing all our children into our lives was that they would put their faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, so what a joy it was to baptism these 4 in April when our Grandson Daniel visited us from South Africa.

Greetings from a hot and wet Zimbabwe! We thank God for your prayers and love sent in so many ways over Christmas and New Year 2023, we are blessed to have you on our Jabulani team! We celebrated Christmas with a braii and presents, I preached in our Church on Christmas morning and Esther sang a beautiful song “Mary did you Know” while all the small girls were in the Christmas Nativity play, they all did so well, and we are very proud of them.

Greetings from a wet and hot Zimbabwe! Dorothy and I have been in USA for the first time since 2019 and we had lots of preaching and fundraisers for Jabulani. It was so good to meet up with lots of friends and share Gods Word in old and new Churches as well as experience the blessings of generosity from many friends of Jabulani in that amazing country, Gods hand was certainly on the trip and we praise Him for all that was accomplished in His Name.

Greetings from a freezing cold wintry Zimbabwe! We arrived back at Jabulani in early July after a very busy time in Northern Ireland where we had lots of preaching and fundraising events alongside precious family time, thank you for your prayers.

Already we are in term 2 at school and it’s all go! From early morning until night. A typical day involves rising at 5am with the children as they bathe and get ready for school, breakfast and packing lunches and then leaving for school at 6:20am arriving around 6:45am. The traffic is still pretty quiet then but if we wait even 15 minutes our journey would increase by 30 minutes at least!

Greetings from a hot and wet Zimbabwe, we are sweltering but enjoying good times with our children.
2022 has arrived with a bang at Jabulani, unfortunately the schools did not open in January due to Covid and the kids only returned on 7 February but with much rejoicing as Grace entered Form 2 and is so happy and content to be back with her friends again.
