I am thankful, you all have been an encouragement in many ways. I am blessed more and more by your generosity. One problem has appeared, and it is a good problem. With the money that has arrived or is currently on its way, I have nearly raised $4500. That is $1000 over the amount I was aiming for. Our group is currently praying over the best Kingdom uses of these funds. We are encouraged that with these resources we will be able to meet more and bigger needs. Please keep this in your prayers.
Schedule:
Here is a brief run down on the schedule of our trip. We are leaving the Tri-cities Tennessee on Wednesday, March 24th at 11am. We will arrive in Harare, Zimbabwe on Thursday, the 25th around 9: 00pm! We are planning to spend the day on Friday recuperating and adjusting to the time changes (we will also attend chapel service at the College where we will be staying. Saturday the 27th, we don't have all the details worked out, but we will attend a welcome party. Sunday the 28th the entire team will split up and preach in different churches throughout Harare, I will preach at Kuwadzana Church of Christ, Joel (from Arizona) at Budiriro Church of Christ, Ephraim (who I attend school with and is a native of Zimbabwe) will be at Greencroft, and Jenn (from Arizona) will attend services with one of us (our team now only has 4 members).
On Monday, the 29th we are leaving Harare and headed to the South East of the country to Chiredzi. In Chiredzi we will have the opportunity to preach to Elementary and High School students in schools that are affiliated with our churches and do work in an Orphanage. There are about 80 children who are living in two related children's homes. On our way to Chiredzi we will pass through Ephraim's village to see his family and visit his people. While working in Chiredzi we might get a chance to go to a national park to view some wild
On the Thursday the 1st of April we will then go to Mutare for the Youth Convention/Conference. Our activities in Mutare will be around the Youth Conference. The Mutare people will show us around the city, etc. I am scheduled to preach twice at the conference, and will also take part in testing the students over the book of Romans. We will leave Mutare on Monday morning (the 5th of April). We will spend Monday traveling back to Harare and packing, then we leave on Tuesday the 6th.
We really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
