Last summer, Annette and I became acquainted with Pastor Abiot Moyo when we began attending the United Methodist Church in Maynard, MA. Abiot came to the U. S. from Zimbabwe with his family seven years ago. Now, he and his wife, Tsitsi, are both U. M. pastors in the Boston area. (To learn more about the Moyos and their ministry, click here: http://www.thebigm.org/index.shtml.) One result of this valuable friendship is that we will accompany Abiot and Tsitsi and 15 others on a trip to Harare where we will spend almost two weeks, beginning July 30, with friends of the Moyos and learn about life there. We will live in a home of church members.
After our Zimbabwe experience, we will fly to Gaborone, Botswana, and then ride a bus 600 km to the far side of the Kalahari Desert to Ghanzi where our friends, Jim and Jan Lundeen, are just beginning a 27-month Peace Corps assignment, working with persons with HIV/AIDS. We will return to Boston August 21.
Depending on availability of computers and on-line opportunities, I will attempt to add information and, perhaps, pictures to this blog. We will be glad for your interest and prayers.
Jim
