I used to wonder when I was growing up why the English ladies , those from the rich families would invite each other for tea. I used to read about it and those tea parties used to be big events.
There is something that happens when you invite someone for tea and biscuits or cakes.I am talking about that sister or brother at the fellowship or church you dont normally speak to.Try it and you will be amazed at how much they open up after the first cup.Is it the tea, the bread or the biscuits?Even the apostles in the book of Acts occassionally met after the fastings and prayers to break bread.Think of freshly brewed Tanganda tea, Stella Tea, Five Roses and Rooibos tea.
We started this ministry as a joke, and later has begun to grow and attract a sizeable number of brothers who I cant really say are drawn by the sweetness of the Tanganda or Mountain Dew leaves, or the Red Seal sugar but maybe it is those jokes that begin to flow from the sweetened tongues. Breaking of bread fellowship was initiated by a need to fellowship with African homies who were homesick when we are here in this Asian nation, where 2% of the population are Christians.Being Christian brothers and sisters we were seeking a way to avoid being homesick by gathering on Fridays midnight, each person with their own cup and plates of bread and banana cakes on the table.Besides the movie haouses are far away and expensive for some of us as we are not allowed to work.
Give a cup of tea to someone like Duncan,Zave(Exzevia),Gary,Kaza,Clem,Ron,Farai,Deacon Ken,Illay,Bishop (Eddy),Ken,Collins and you will get a revelations. There is one about Peter who discovered that there was a boy with lunchbox when they told Jesus that there is a boy with 2fishes and five loaves.Some wanted to know what Peter was looking for in the boy's lunch box. Then comes the famous Nyoni story. Usadherere mazimbo.
i will tell you more next time abut the new revelations.This was just an introduction.
