Psalm 87 (Listen)

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

87:1   On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
2     the LORD loves the gates of Zion
    more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
3   Glorious things of you are spoken,
    O city of God. Selah
4   Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
    behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—
    “This one was born there,” they say.
5   And of Zion it shall be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her”;
    for the Most High himself will establish her.
6   The LORD records as he registers the peoples,
    “This one was born there.” Selah
7   Singers and dancers alike say,
    “All my springs are in you.”

(ESV)

Henry Olonga’s story

“I felt that God was calling me to speak out against Robert Mugabe ”

One day I read a verse from the Bible, and it said ‘Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow’. And in the very same verse, the Bible said, ‘Rebuke the oppressor’. The verse hit me between the eyes. I felt that God was calling me to say something, to speak out against this oppressor, Robert Mugabe. I saw the country desecrated by its rich and powerful leaders, I just felt I've got to speak out.

Fellowship groups
In the first week of each month, we meet for fellowship groups — a smaller version of our regular Bible Study and prayer meeting, where it's easy to ask and answer questions, share prayer requests, and pray for one another. We have three groups, two in Clydach and one in Trebanos.
