Feeding Stations

Hello friends,

Here are some pictures from our adventures this week.

We had the privilege of serving hundreds of kids at different feeding stations that Hands of Hope supports around Harare. The meals include sadza (always) and beans, veggie or capenta (small fish). The side changes each meal. For some, this is their only meal of the day. It was quite humbling.


On our way to a rural preschool, we saw this sight: Children and children and more children walking home from school. They all wear uniforms and they all walk together. They were quite interested in us and waved hello and shouted greetings.

The preschool below was heart breaking. It may be hard to see, but the children are sitting on a dingy carpet. They are dressed in several layers of clothing. We brought donated clothing and shoes and fitted each child with an outfit. It was pretty amazing what they wore- shoes with holes in the bottom, ratty clothes, dirty and torn. Our donated clothing- even the worn items- were like brand new to these children.

Thank you again for your prayers, support and encouragement! We are humbled to be able to be here, serving the Lord and the people of Zimbabwe. In each home, each preschool, each feedin station, we have multiple opportunities to pray for the children and the adults there. No one has ever turned down prayer- they crave it. We will ask if we can pray for them and they immediately grip our shoulder and bow their heads. What a privilege it is to be here!

In other news, it is DAVID's BIRTHDAY today!!! Hooray! We spent the day shopping- which he loved - haha- and are taking the Hands of Hope guys out for Chinese tonight. Tomorrow, we will learn about Foundations of Farming- a ministry that teaches how to maximize farming output- honestly, we'll know more after tomorrow.

Then, on Friday, we are going to a game preserve- to see African animals and debrief before our plane flight home on Saturday. Becky is nervous- so pray her nerves are calmed. We have heard one freaky story about an animal attacking- BUT we are confident that there will not be a repeat!
