A powerful account of British missionaries Peter and Brenda Griffiths who played a critical role in the development of the Elim church in the aftermath of the Vumba massacre. Peter and Brenda Griffiths Stephen's parents and their team had set up a superb secondary school only for guerrillas to slaughter almost all the staff. After their funerals Peter maintained that forgiveness for the attackers was the Christian thing to do. This is an inspiring story of Peter and Brenda's courage sacrifice and faithfulness in God who despite the atrocities continues to build His church in Zimbabwe.
