As I report the progress of 2018, I can only say in Daniel’s words “But there is a God in heaven.”(Daniel 2:28) I will give a glimpse of the work done in 2018 as it relates to our strategic and specific objectives. My fellow officers and directors will give more details. 1. Strategic goal 1.To foster bible based rival and reformation through small groups. We continue to encourage our entire Central Zimbabwe Conference membership to be involved in prayer, bible and Spirit of Prophecy daily study. Small groups have been formed throughout the conference. The monthly report by churches, president’s report and quarterly district assessments are helping us to check the progress. Through assessment meetings we realized that 10787 members are reading the bible daily and 8 201 members are reading Spirit of prophecy daily. 11 898 Members have bibles, 8 959 members have hymn books, 5 525 have Sabbath School Study Bible Guides. 2. Strategic goal 2.To foster total member involvement in all church activities We have embraced the stewardship registers as a conference and we are using district assessment to monitor growth in all our churches. Through the district assessment meetings we encourage all churches to have monthly church boards to nurture its members to faithfulness and every member to review the tithe reflectors released from the conference monthly. Small group stewardship seminars were conducted in September. 3.Strategic goal 3.To re-align districts and subdivide the conference We managed to create 15 new districts to reduce pastor member ratio. The fifteen districts are Phetsheya, Somabula, Gweru City, Gweru Lundi, Mundondo, Mashate, Chivi North ,Zvishavane North, Masvingo West, Masvingo East ,Nhema North ,Chiredzi East, Chiredzi Central, Triangle, Zimuto.... As for the Conference, we hope to take an action to subdivide our conference into two and have another one in Masvingo come 2020.Below are the analysis of the potentials July up to October. 2 (Proposed Central Zimbabwe Conference) (Proposed Masvingo Zimbabwe Conference) 21 Districts 22 Districts July August September October TOTAL July August September October 1 Anderson 6,092.90 1,636.96 7,382.94 3,894.68 19,007.48 1 Bikita 439.60 6,956.32 5,339.76 2,012.30 14,747.98 2 Chigsmaz 1,480.00 1,932.60 5,709.00 2,782.20 11,903.80 2 Chiredzi Central 8,174.49 5,328.60 7,900.86 9,554.73 30,958.68 3 Chirumhanzu 1549.89 4093.84 1974.47 2,018.05 9,636.25 3 Chiredzi East 3,936.10 4,538.60 4,852.77 4,679.24 18,006.71 4 Gwenjani 3664.54 2471.07 4183.1 6,915.37 17,234.08 4 Chiredzi North 4,895.85 4,160.35 6,461.55 4,159.20 19,676.95 5 Gweru Central 7512.42 3929.17 6324.24 8,995.00 26,760.83 5 Chiredzi South 1,691.49 1,653.21 3,164.77 2,718.11 9,227.58 6 Gweru City 13986.07 12392.41 13672.75 10,476.35 50,527.58 6 Chiredzi West 6,111.62 4,326.52 6,173.87 5,264.59 21,876.60 7 Gweru East 7157.4 3621.2 9125.93 2,405.17 22,309.70 7 Chivi North 3,609.46 3,869.99 3,283.58 5,527.84 16,290.87 8 Gweru Lundi 3583.25 2058.63 7174.65 2,422.06 15,238.59 8 Chivi South 5,534.66 5,445.77 4,297.15 5,700.74 20,978.32 9 Gweru North 6959.29 4982.33 11200.3 9,739.63 32,881.55 9 Gutu 5,997.97 5,621.36 5,845.93 6,226.72 23,691.98 10 Gweru South 6,325.51 6,226.74 6,044.11 1,205.32 19,801.68 10 Mafuba 2,272.12 2,504.45 3,915.70 3,409.06 12,101.33 11 Gweru West 13299.32 12834.89 14483.14 12,604.00 53,221.35 11 Mashate 2,343.15 2,223.82 2,904.02 1,877.41 9,348.40 12 Hanke 2519.75 1563.2 2874.65 2,416.00 9,373.60 12 Masvingo Central 4,410.40 7,247.51 5,361.90 5,787.97 22,807.78 13 Logass 964.95 3481.6 2987.8 2,188.47 9,622.82 13 Masvingo East 6,471.97 3,417.71 7,252.66 6,461.93 23,604.27 14 Nhema North 1217.45 2725.28 3013.47 5,397.35 12,353.55 14 Masvingo South 7,533.69 5,693.75 9,367.83 5,121.14 27,716.41 15 Nhema South 1280.25 820.7 1922.47 4,348.88 8,372.30 15 Masvingo West 8,391.00 5,476.44 9,844.92 7,466.13 31,178.49 16 Petsheya 394.28 378.33 1242.3 6,297.05 8,311.96 16 Mundondo 1,925.90 2,735.21 2,291.16 4,820.43 11,772.70 17 Shurugwi 4895.07 3041.78 4543.72 8,277.47 20,758.04 17 Nyajena 2,669.51 2,379.22 3,251.79 2,226.54 10,527.06 18 Sikombingo 3653.55 2296.35 3575.33 3,324.84 12,850.07 18 Rushumbe 4,732.48 4,786.78 7,555.84 6,950.49 24,025.59 19 Sogwala East 1951 613.37 2623.34 2,303.84 7,491.55 19 Zaka 463.30 6,517.26 4,757.94 3,637.84 15,376.34 20 Sogwala West 1784.88 2199.41 2511.56 3200.01 9,695.86 20 Zimuto 623.40 1,409.45 957.20 914.70 3,904.75 21 Somabula 1145.2 1201.15 3739.17 7866.45 13,951.97 21 Zvishavane North 4,189.19 4,801.26 4,474.44 5,713.81 19,178.70 22 Zvishavane South 4,554.32 5,624.36 8,664.12 3,476.78 22,319.58 TOTAL 91,416.97 74,501.01 116,308.44 109,078.19 391,304.61 TOTAL 90,971.67 96,717.94 117,919.76 103,707.70 409,317.07 The executive Committee will vote on the proposal and thereafter a committee will be chosen to prepare the re-alignment document .

In this regard l wish to recommend that we re- align a few more district and we finally re-align the conference in 2020 for effective growth . 4.Strategic Goal 4.To raise working capital and Liquidity ratios to above 100% 3 This is the area that God has smiled on us. We are now above the policy recommended ratios. The graphs reflects the progress so far .

This year we have so far baptized 7 802 souls. We hope to reach our goal of 9000 by 31 December. b) Specific Objective 2.To have 91% membership participation in stewardship and remit $170 000 monthly. We held stewardship seminars-holy convocation and we had an average of $176 monthly. Due to inflation we now target $220 000 monthly. Over 60 tones of grain tithe were delivered to GMB. c) Specific Objective 3.To make Tithing easier by providing swiping machines to churches. Over 150 swapping machines were distributed to churches. This has also contributed in increasing income, but the issue of unidentified funds still need attention.
