Testimony From Deacon Herbert, Belvedere, ZE4
My Name is Dcn Herbert, ZE4 Zimbabwe
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my:
Int’l President Pastor Ekele
Zonal Director Pastor Senga
Sub Zonal Gov Dcn Bernard
My wife and I pledged at the beginning of this financial year that we should partner every month towards all The Haven projects and compete with our past.
We have a contract as a Country Agent to a JSE Listed SA company in the Zimbabwean market through a monthly brokerage fee arrangement based on sales we would have created.
We have had this agreement/contract for the last 5 years and have been growing the business to a double-digit on year to year basis and we thank The Holy Spirit for this success.
Our performance in March this year was so amazing as we achieved an all-time record from the time we introduced this company in the country.
This achievement also translated to an all-time record in our brokerage fee which we received end of March.
We received double the amount we normally get monthly. Glory to God.
Then come in April both countries South Africa and Zimbabwe declared lockdowns.
No product could move between the two countries as there were no activities in both countries.
This meant the month of April we were not going to get any brokerage fee as there were no sales created.
The Holy Spirit strategized more business for us in March and orchestrated our brokerage in March to take us through the famine month of April. Hallelujah Hallelujah
Without sales in April, we were paid in advance in March !!!
Glory to God.
This means our planned April obligations are not affected as our barns are full ..Hallelujah.
Truly The Holy Spirit is The Extra Ordinary Strategist, He went before us to make All the crooked path in April straight, Glory to God.
Our dear President, Pastor Ekele shared about Isaac during Famine and Peter not catching any fish… Yes, we got our payments during this same famine.
This can only be by the grace of God at work in our lives. Hallelujah
As if it’s not enough: This past week both countries have relaxed the Covid 19 lockdowns to allow manufacturing companies both in SA and Zimbabwe to operate during this lockdown.
The raw materials are now able to come from the SA Company as a manufacturer to Zimbabwean customers who are also manufacturers.
This means these last few days till the end of April sales and brokerage fees are being created by The Holy Spirit.
Our other business in Zimbabwe involved in the construction industry which manufactures building materials has also opened and while others are still on lockdown, both our businesses are now back in business. Glory to God.
Because of our performance in dealing with SA businesses in the Zimbabwean market, one SA company has approached us to represent them in Zimbabwe and other northern countries. The confirmation was sent to us on the 23rd of March 2020 to finalize the contract for three years. Hallelujah !!!
This is not by might or power, but by the Holy Spirit.
We want to thank The Holy Spirit for being so faithful in ensuring we do not lack seeds to propel this gospel.
Once more we would like to thank you, President Sir, for consistently uplifting our spirits to stretch our faith and surely the Word is working in our lives.
Amen and Amen and Amen.
