Kiva Loan Made to Laiza from Zimbabwe

Laiza is a 24-year-old young woman. She is married with two children and is living in the Chiredzi District of Zimbabwe. She is a Camfed Learner Guide volunteering at her local secondary school, teaching a weekly life skills class. She has also grown her poultry business to its current capacity, producing about 50 broiler birds every six weeks and selling them to the local residents. Laiza would very much like to increase her sales volume to improve her income and her family’s quality of life. She will use the Kiva loan to purchase more broiler chicks and chick feed to increase production.

April 6th 2014 “The Courage to be Christ Like”

Sermon: “The Courage to Be Christ Like”
Theme: God calls us to practice a self-sacrificing, Christ like love that brings us closer to God as we are part
of healing and renewing the world.
Scriptures: Matthew 6:1, 5-15 Do not practice your spirituality for others.
Philippians 2:1-13 Christ submitted and emptied himself, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
Questions: What does it mean to be “Christ like?” What is the difference between being religious and being
spiritual? What happens when you have religion that is empty of spirit? What happens when we participate
with Christ in making sacrifices for others? How are we affected by giving of ourselves and practicing Christ
like love for the world? Where do we find the courage to be like Christ? How do we offer the sacrifice of our
heart and our commitment to Christ?
