A special guest service featuring Henry Olonga
Henry Olonga is a former Zimbabwean test cricketer. He made his international debut in 1995, becoming the youngest player to represent Zimbabwe, helping them to their first ever Test victory in that game. He achieved international recognition in 2003 by wearing a black armband in a Cricket World Cup match to protest against the policies of Zimbabwe's government. This led to a warrant issued in Zimbabwe for his arrest on charges of treason, forcing him to retire from international cricket. In his prime Henry was handy with a bat, extremely quick between the wickets, a brilliant fielder and a genuine fast bowler who could generate speeds of 90mph.
A practising Christian, Henry enjoys travelling as an evangelist preaching the gospel and sharing the story of God's mercy in his life. Wherever he gets invited with cheerfulness and also a sense of seriousness he shares the truth about how God has faithfully preserved him and sustains him and also what God can do to all humble enough to call on His name. He tries to use his story and song to convey this testimony to point people in the direction of the good news of Jesus Christ.
