  • Theological College of Zimbabwe – One of our speakers Pradip Sudra and his with Amita are working at this college and reported that some students cannot even afford one proper meal a day. These funds have been channelled through the Sudras for the support of students at this college.

• The children at the conference produced:

  • their own puppet show at morning worship on the final day, which vividly portrayed the story of Peter's dream in Acts 10 about the sheet from heaven containing 'unclean' creatures and God's call for Peter not to call anything that God had made as 'unclean'. This reading had also been part of the adult input to the conference.

  • a large poster (jpg) about loving everyone; again on the same theme.
