It’s a triple celebration for Elim in Zimbabwe

Under the cloudless Zimbabwean skies at the Elim Mission Station in Katerere, Roy Johnston and Bobbie Tinnion took part in a weekend of celebrations.

For more than a decade these moments had been in the making and now the dreams had come to a pivotal point.

The community in Katerere, in partnership with the Elim Pentecostal Church of Zimbabwe and the movement in Ireland and other parts of the UK, have together raised financial support and materials to build a state-of-the-art hospital theatre to serve the local community around the mission station at Katerere.

The project, first birthed as ‘The Centenary Project’ in 2016 by Pastor Ray Cotter, has faced many challenges and complications, but through prayerful and practical persistence it has finally come to completion.

The local community has invested in the project, providing building materials and labour.

The Elim Pentecostal Church in Zimbabwe provided the drawing plans, the local knowledge and expertise to source the materials for construction and equipment for the theatre, ensuring they satisfied building regulations and department of health requirements.

The Elim movement in Ireland and the UK helped to provide much-needed financial support for the project to come to fruition.

On Saturday 14 September, we saw the culmination of these years of hard work and dedication as the hospital officially opened amidst great rejoicing!
