Bob shares the powerful story of the Community of Reconciliation, a racially integrated Christian farming community established in Zimbabwe during the 1980s. Formed in response to violent civil conflict and racial injustice, the community was an experiment in peace and forgiveness between former enemies—black and white Zimbabweans. Bob describes how the vision originated with Jerry Keatley, who, inspired by the teachings of Jesus, challenged the apartheid theology of the time. Over time, Bob became personally involved, inspired by their practical pursuit of justice and reconciliation through shared agrarian life rather than religious spectacle. The story tragically culminates in a massacre of community members, an event that left Bob deeply traumatized. He recounts the emotional impact of seeing the aftermath and how that grief later transformed into action. After years of silence and political suppression, Bob eventually published a book about the community, which was later recognized and validated by Zimbabwe's national Peace and Reconciliation Commission. The conversation also distinguishes this grassroots movement from exploitative religious influences that flooded Africa, highlighting the purity of intent and lasting spiritual impact of the New Adams Farm.  ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
