Zimbabwe and beyond with Adrian Willard



Adrian Willard


It was fascinating listening to Adrian Willard at the recent Foundations for Nations Conference as he spoke about Operation Trumpet Call.

In essence, Operation Trumpet Call is:
1. A Call to God: 2 Chronicles 7:14 – 16
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.”
2. A Call to Unity: Ephesians 4:1 – 7 “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one Lord and father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.”
3. A Call to Help the Poor: Isaiah 58:9 – 10
“Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.”

Operation Trumpet Call is a cry out to God to do something in Zimbabwe. The tool we are using is Foundations for Farming through which we hope our nation will be hugely impacted.

The goal of Operation Trumpet Call is to feed by training and equipping every rural family in Zimbabwe in 5 years i.e. 5,000,000 through Foundations for Farming. Operation Trumpet Call could revolutionize Zimbabwe in terms of feeding the Nation.

Zimbabwe is in a unique place and the Church is responding in a practical way. We have land and good weather so it’s extraordinary! If Zimbabwe is able to feed itself, it will be AMAZING!
