From time to time, people ask about our personal finances and whether they can help in anyway...

Here's a quick resume: 

We receive a monthly payment for our work with Africa Alive and Disciple Nations and our fledgling media company, which is amazing.  We also receive a rental income from our house in the UK, which is so helpful.

This helps to cover expenses back in the UK as well as support us on the ground in Zim.

Although we remain strongly connected to a number of churches, we don't currently receive any direct support from them. However, there are a number amazing individuals, couples and families, who continue to be such a blessing which helps cover essential things like Medical Insurance and Visa's (which together, costs over $6000 / £4800 a year ). Your support, literally enables us to stay.

Our vehicle is definitely a challenge. We recently replaced the front suspension of our Navara through kind gifts from the UK, but its now 14 years old, and Zimbabwean roads are brutal. ('watch out for that road in the pothole').

The Government in Zim levy a 100% duty on any vehicle imports, so keeping a vehicle on the road is usually the only option. However, we may have the possibility of bringing in a brand new pick up vehicle duty free via a Private Voluntary Organisation (PVO) at a cost of around $26,000 / £22000. This would be a dream, as a vehicle is so incredibly important, especially when we are heading out to the rural areas.

We were recently able to install a water tank making such a huge difference to everyday life, giving us access to water all the time. We'd love to do the same with solar.

One day, our hope is to be self financing and for our company Scraggy Hills to be incredibly fruitful.... but we are not quite there yet!

So in the mean time, we are very thankful and very grateful for all your support.

Thankyou :)
