GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST,

On behalf of Jayne Linda, we want to thank you for your
prayers, encouragement and gifts to her ministry in Zimbabwe.

The fall season has begun in Zimbabwe and soon the winter

season will begin. There is much activity at the College, and much more work to be done for our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ.

We, as Jayne Linda's forwarding agents, would like to

make a suggestion.

Jayne Linda is currently living with

another missionary, Marcia Thomson, but would like to have

her own apartment. The rent for such an apartment is approximately $350 per month. Apartments are hard to find,
especially one close to Zimbabwe Bible College. Even if she can find one, it does not come equipped with a stove and
refrigerator.

Soyou ask, why are we telling you this. Well Jayne Linda will soon have a birthday - July 25. Her home church

in Tallahassee has designated Sunday, June 28 as "Jayne Linda

Day". We at King's Way plan to take a special "love

offering" on that Sunday for a special birthday gift. Perhaps

everyone on Jayne Linda's mailing list would like to

participate.

Perhaps all of us together could give enough

funds to allow Jayne Linda to purchase a stove and

refrigerator, plus have some left over to pay on the rent.

Included with this newsletter is a self-addressed envelope. Right now, take it out and write the word

"BIRTHDAY" on the front of that envelope.

Then later on

today go to the Lord in prayer asking Him to supply the funds

so that you can make a love offering yourself towards this special day. The Lord will bless you.

Don't worry over anything whatever; tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer.. PHIL'IPPIANS 4:6. My God will supply all that you need from
His glorious resources in Christ Jesus..PHILIPPIANS 4:19.

Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling and to

present you before His glory without fault and with

unspeakable joy, to the only God,

our Savior,

be glory and

majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before time was, now, and in all ages to come, amen. JUDE 24

HARARE:

A CITY OF GATES AND WALLS

As I cont-inue to share with you cultural shocks I have had as a new missionary I hope you will be able to better understaoid how to pray for those who go to a foreign field. Many times i t is the "little" things that are hardest to learn to deal
with.

One of the adjustments I have had to make is the amount of gates, walls and locks there are in the city. Everything has at least one lock on i t and possibly more. There are gates and walls to protect your house, your car, tools, clothes, etc. These are a very necessary part of life here to keep the "tsotsi's" (Shona for thieves) from stealing all you own. A high value is placed on everything here because of the lack of so much. Therefore, locks, gates, and walls become so very important. As the college is now building a much needed classroom block (3 classrooms), we have yet another great need for a wall around the entire property. This will taike a large amount of money. Your prayers and help are needed. At this time there is a housing development starting on the property adjacent to the college and the problems will then only just begin.
At this time, we estimate the wall will be close to $10,000 in Zimbabwe (or about $6500. US Dollars). This wall will help to secure our vegetable garden, a borehole pump, the worker's housing, the college buildings, tool sheds, and the Harare Christian Church building. I do not know how to express how much this is needed except to ask you to pray
with us for the funds.

Is i t possible for one time gifts to be given for this very important need? Yes, i t is possible and I hope you will

continue to pray with me about this and the other needs here. The people here are so grateful and thankful for your prayers
and gifts. I want to thank each of you for caring and for writing and most of all for praying. "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." II Cor. 13:14
With much love,

Jayne Linda

PRAYER REQUESTS: -Zimbabwe Christian College financial

support. -Greencroft Christian Church .as they grow and plan to move into their new building. -The University Fellowshipfor growth and leadership. -My work permit extension.

PRAYER PRAISES:

-Zimbabwe Christian College new classroom block that has

been started.

-The wonderful spirit of love that the new student body have at Zimbabwe Christian College.

To the friends of Jayne Linda, Jsiyne Linda wrote this newsletter, not knowing about the special "love offering" for her birthday that we wrote about last month. As of July 5th, the special "love offering" has
exceeded $1,100. Also on Sunday, we talked to Jayne by phone in Harare and told her about this special birthday gift. She was so excited, and asked us to let you know how much she loves you all, and for your prayers. God is so good and we also thank you for this special blessing you gave to Jayne
Linda.

Now back to Jaiyne's letter. We have a suggestion. Currently there are only five (5) Churches that support Jayne Linda on a regular basis. Perhaps your pastor would allow you to ask the Church Board, Sunday School or Missions Committee to set aside one Sunday, Mkd August 30 (since August has five Sundays) to take a special offering for the Zimbabwe Christian College. But before you ask, please pray for the Lord's guidance and then act accordingly.

Jayne Linda's work permit ends in October. She has asked us to pray that the Zimbabwe immigration office will grant her a renewal. Work permits are granted for a two year period. Please join us in praying for this. Again we take
this time to thank a l l those individuals and churches who

faithfully send funds each month. So far in 1987 i t has averaged over $1,200 per month, which is just the amount she needs to meet expenses. Nothing more. Paul told the church

at Philippi, "..my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19.
God bless,

^ CUjUyty
