Today (18 June) the Church celebrates the life and ministry of Bernard Mizeki.

Born in Portuguese East Africa, Bernard Mizeki went to work in Cape Town and there he was converted to the Christian faith by the Cowley Fathers.

He then gave his life as a translator and evangelist among the MaShona in what is present-day Zimbabwe.

He was murdered on this day in 1896 in a tribal uprising and is revered throughout Central Africa as a witness to the gospel of Christ.
