I am thankful for all the people God brought into my life when I was writing this book. Enriched in Everything would not have been a success without all of them. Writing involves a lot more besides putting thoughts to paper or Bible studies to a book chapter, it takes words of encouragement, a silent prayer, a pat on the back and loving relationships with family and friends. God graciously made sure I had more than enough of that. Thank you all for lifting me up when I was down, the petitions and supplications you made on my behalf before the throne of grace and all the support you gave my family in this journey. This space is not enough to mention them all.

To my beautiful wife, Surprise, who continues to explore how the Gospel changes us daily in a house full of boys, thank you. Her faith and confidence in Jesus Christ have always been a source of encouragement. When I was down, she whispered the good news of Christ and when I was I jerk she remained patient because of the grace of God. Each day, her love reminds me of God's loyalty and favor, hence the names of my two sons, Chesed and Channiel, respectively.

To my brothers and sister, Andrew, Lovemore, Allen, Elton and Ellen, who never left me when our parents passed away, but modeled the faithfulness of Christ even in trying times. I will forever cherish the moments we shared together, the tears and the songs. Thank you for showing me the meaning of family.

To my brothers and sisters in the United Apostolic Faith Church and Sandals Church, I am grateful for your willingness to show me a gospel transformed life. In every town or country I lived, I was never short of a family because of you all, through amazing cell groups and small groups. I will forever cherish the spiritual leadership of Godfrey Mpofu, Bitwell Sibanda, Agrippa Chitsinde and Joseph Mutemani, who took a personal interest in me and taught me how the gospel changes us.

To my fellow small-group members, Alex, Denise, Sandy, Daniel, Julieta, Teresa and Mitchell, thank you for allowing me to be part of your family. I am greatly humbled by Wendy Smith, who made me a co-leader of such a wonderful group. Through her spiritual leadership and above all, adopting me and my family into her family, I knew I was loved and someone was always praying for me. It is quite an honor writing this book considering most of the material came from small-group sessions I led at Sandals Church. Thank you.
