Adkins,Barry and Louise
Barry and Louise Adkins both felt a call to be missionaries for many years. Through the Akers and their passion for the amaZioni, they began to feel the pull to ZEMA.
They joined ZEMA in 2005 and have no doubt that they are doing exactly what they were made to do.
They are currently working to build relationships with the amaZioni in Port Elizabeth. They run a ZEBS and are involved with mentoring and discipleship groups as well as forging inroads to the Zionist churches in the informal settlements where they are currently concentrating their efforts.
With so many amaZioni wanting to be taught the Bible, the opportunities are overwhelming. They have seen God working in the lives of the amaZioni and believe that He has great plans for the future.

LEGACY. I am finally able to sit in front of our computer and type this letter. As I type the words my heart is in a very tender space. My mind and my heart have been restless and at peace, all at once, as I process my dear friend, Donnae Thomas’s death (13 Nov)....

DO NOT GROW WEARY. The passage in Hebrews 12:3 Where it is written; “3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart,” has been a passage that has been on my mind this year. Especially as the year has flown by...

FRUSTRATING START. I had every good intention of starting our newsletter in January this year and even started it a few times and just was not happy with what I was writing. This morning I realized why. (Yes, it has taken me a while!) I have always thought that I am a...

I'M WALKING ON SUNSHINE. Praise the Lord that He provided for all our ZEMA missionary families to be able to have solar systems fitted to our houses. What a privilege and blessing this is for us. There have been a number of power outages in our area over this past...

THE NUTURE OF NATURE. I love being out in nature, it makes me feel relaxed and refreshed and I find it so easy to talk to Jesus when surrounded by the beauty of trees and sunlight while in the forest or the sound of a running brook as I was along the path. However, we...

READY ..... GO! Barry had an interesting discussion with a lady on the beach the other day. She came up to him with a shell in her hand. The lady asked if the shell was a good one or not. Barry knew what was behind the question, so he replied that “there is only one...

STRANGER THINGS. You never know what strange things can happen in life. We have a pond outside that Barry made from old bathtubs. Last year around this time we bought goldfish for Nathan and two koi for Louise. Nathan’s motivation was to breed the goldfish, Louise’s...

DIFFERENT SEASONS IN LIFE. So, it has been a while and I need to ask you to forgive me for that please? (Louise’s confession) I had begun our April- June newsletter and minimized it on my computer and life happened. I was under the impression that I had already sent...
