I am going to Zimbabwe to help lead The National Youth Convention and preach in local Zimbabwean churches. The Convention is a meeting that brings together young people from different parts of the country. There will be preaching, teaching, fellowship, sports, etc.In the past people have come from as far as Mozambique to be part of the gathering. This year they are running on the theme “A Purpose Driven Youth”, and they are studying the book of Romans. I am in charge of coming up with the study material and questions for the youth in their small group time. I will also preach, teach, council and lead prayer times.
The convention will be held over Easter weekend, starting on the Thursday preceding Good Friday and ending Monday, right after Easter. I am going with a team of six comprised of people from Arizona and East Tennessee. We will tentatively arrive in Zimbabwe on the 26th of March and leave on the 5th of April. The first Sunday we are there, we will all get the opportunity to preach in different churches in Harare. The people of Zimbabwe need a lot of encouragement considering the many difficulties presented by the current state of their government and economy.
