Reflections from the Zambezi

Introduction In my brief speech, I will seek to outline how God has led Masiye to this point where she is in life. I will do so by tracing God’s providence in her childhood, her school days, and courtship days.

All things been said a believer should strive to go into a more permanent business partnership with a believer and only consider with a non-believer on a temporary business partnership. "...
