Catching up with Brian Oldreive

Brian Oldreive

It was excellent catching up with Brian Oldreive in Harare, Zimbabwe this past week and hearing his take on the relevance of Operation Trumpet Call to Zimbabwe at this particular time. This is what he had to say:


Operation Trumpet Call is a call to rebuild the nation of Zimbabwe at this historic time. It’s a call to God’s way and to God’s heart. When God looks down on Africa, it’s the poor that he sees. The poor are casualties of the fall. The root problem in Africa is selfishness and we’ve inherited a selfish nature. The rich are getting richer and the poor, poorer.

Isaiah 58:1 “Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet……..” V6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen…” The ‘True fast’ is making a plan for the poor. We see the problem; have the answer and the solution. We need to turn to God V12 onwards…..

Operation Trumpet Call is for the poor and initiates the rebuilding plan of the Nation. We are in the process now and it’s massively important for now – calling the churches together.

We need to abandon our own plans and do it God’s way: Your will be done……” God sees the BIG Picture and knows the beginning from the end. He knows his plan for everyone, every family, every community, every nation and the world. God is embarking on His perfect plan and we need to focus on his plan.
