Rejected but not abandoned
SUMMER 2023
You helped Noreen discover the love of Jesus! When Noreen was growing up in Zimbabwe, her parents did well to send her to school and provide an opportunity for her to have a successful future. But things took a bad turn during high school. She fell in with the wrong crowd, who influenced her to make bad choices, like having premarital sex. When she became pregnant, the man responsible abandoned her. Life as a young single mother was tough. She felt hopeless, abandoned, and alone and found herself drinking alcohol to numb the pain.
You helped reach Noreen when she was at rock bottom During African Enterprise’s “Serve the City Mission” in Noreen’s community of Mutare, a missionary trained by AE recognized Noreen from high school. Noreen listened intently as this former classmate spoke so passionately about a love that never fails. I want that kind of love, Noreen thought to herself. Right then and there, Noreen made the decision to commit her life to Christ.
