Well, here are some photos that will give some visuals to what I've been writing. This first photo is my full team of 13 in the Johannesburg airport waiting to head to Victoria Falls. This is the only photo I have of all 13 of us because Randy and Jennifer Campbell did not come to the Falls or South Africa with us because of a prior commitment that called them back to the states.

This is TK (Ayanda is his real name) who was our worship leader at the Seed Sowers Prayer Summit. I have never met anyone with more of anointing and intimacy with God. He is 22 years old and from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I was blessed to spend a lot of time with him and fell in love with his heart. God will be doing amazing things in and through him and I'm excited to be a part of the story with him.
Along with TK, we had a team of 20 come down from South Africa, who assisted in the music for worship. It was a collection of students from 17-19 years old (a few 22 year olds) who have a huge passion for the Lord. Combined with TK's anointing and the anointing of those students, God's manifest glory showed up through the music in powerful ways that brought about healing and reconciliation.
At the summit was had a bunch of nations combine to see restoration to Zimbabwe. Below is a picture of the nations coming together in unity and healing between nations. The nations represented at the Seed Sowers Prayer Summit was: United States, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Israel, Gauna, India, United Kingdom, South Africa, Zambia, Rwanda, Malawi, Cuba and Congo. It was incredible to see healing happen between the nations for the glory of God.
Along with the healing of the nations, we saw great healing between genders, political power, and race. Below is a picture of Colin (a white Zimbabwean) and Lovejoy (a colored Zimbabwean) washing the feet of Mama Mwela (a colored Zimbabwean woman). There was healing, repentence, and forgiveness between the men of Africa to the women of Africa for the way they have been treated. That is when the washing of Mama's feet took place on behalf of the men to the women. It was a powerful moment. We also had foot washings of Colin (a white Zimbabwean) of Lovejoy (a colored Zimbabwean) and vice versa.
After a time of repentence, forgiveness, and reconciliation, we had a time of corporate stillness. We were on our face, complete still and quiet before the Lord for an hour. Each person (300) at the summit was facing five (5) open windows and were seeking the Lord and asking for him to show up. It was beyond words. The power that overcame us in the stillness is something I will never forget. I experienced God in a way I've never known before.
After the summit was over and the delegates had left, we had Ambrose come up to us. He works at the Elephant Hills Hotel. He was working on Saturday afternoon during the summit. Ambrose has struggled with severe hearing issues. He was significantly deaf in one ear and about 50% deaf in the other ear. (I apologize I don't remember the exact hearing deficiency he had). When Ambrose was working, he walked past the room the summit was happening and was instantly heal. Do you get that? From significant hearing problems to restored hearing just by WALKING BY the room the summit was going on it. He never once entered that room. WOW! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
The next few days I will add Victoria Falls photos, South Africa photos and photos from our private game tour; but today I give you a small glimpse into Zimbabwe. Thank you for your prayers throughout this summit. Please pray that what we experienced in Africa would not fade away now that we are in the states. We want to keep the fire burning!! I love you all!!!
