Zimbabwe 2013

The Groombridge Convention in Harare, Zimbabwe was held this year between 9th and 13th August. With some 200 plus people and around 30 Pastors it was a great success. Pastor Albert Matimbe was the organiser he worked hard so that all ran smoothly allowing others to preach. 

There were many speakers with 3 services most days. The variety of subjects, presentation styles and emphasis confirmed that Jesus Christ is a God of variety as well as a God of love.
