M.M: What are you passionate about?
S.G: Jesus and the Church, children and justice for the poor.

M.M: What is the weirdest food you ever eaten?

A brief chat with Pam Windsor

Pam Windsor

It was great meeting Tim and Pam Windsor at Ebenezer Training Centre. The Windsors fellowship at The Kings Family Church, Oakville, Ontario, Canada. This church is affiliated to Newfrontiers Family of Churches and it’s led by Chris McLean. This is what Pam had to say:

M.M: What are you passionate about?
P.W: Worshipping Jesus, spending time with God, journaling and I love people.

M.M: What do you do to relax?
P.W: Listen to music, read a good novel, walk and sleep.

M.M: Who has influenced you recently?
P.W: A girl called Julie who is a missionary in Mozambique. She is sold out for Jesus and doesn’t count the cost.

M.M: What are your impressions of Zimbabwe?
P.W: Aaaaah! Beautiful! It has a beautiful countryside, warm and friendly people and the smiles – I love the smiles of the people.

M.M: What are your thoughts of Ebenezer?
P.W: It’s incredible what God is doing here. People have faith to do things that are risky and edgy as well as to step out and invest in the lives of people. I like the discipleship model.

M.M: I understand you had a word about Zimbabwe. Please could you share it?
P.W: I saw a picture of Zimbabwe and Mozambique. I also saw a road made of maize or corn. It started in the middle of Zimbabwe and went all around into Mozambique. And then at the beginning of the road, I saw oil – the oil of the Holy Spirit and it flowed down the maize road. Then a fire started and moved rapidly across Zimbabwe and into Mozambique.

M.M: Any other comments?
P.W: I feel like Ebenezer is a well – a source place. I see lots of streams coming from this well which is well-made. Ebenezer will have far reaching effects with the streams. It’s really encouraging to see what God is doing.

M.M: Thanks so much Pam. Hope you enjoy your time in Zim.
