Day Eleven


Today we met up with Morgan who heads up Scripture Union for the Midlands area (it is quite a large area to look after). They are involved in many school outreach programs including life skills programs, running school assemblies were they can preach the word of God to the children, lunch time get togethers for the Christian children and much much more. We joined Morgan for the lunch time worship in one of the churches in town, this is run every day and they always have a great turnout ... the place was packed. It started with individual prayer, then they had a worship team who lead a few songs, next one of the pastors got up & gave the sermon (all in their native language), so we didn�t understand any - but we did understand his yelling. Our first comment when we came out was how loud it was. After this we went for a walk through town & had lunch in a place where the sign out the front says �American style caf� - The Dutch Oven�. An interesting name with some very interesting food.

It was after today�s outing combined with a strong feeling from both of us that we decided that we should not be here in Gweru, but instead be back in Bulawayo. It was not an easy decision to make but we both felt it was the right thing to do. So we told our hosts and made our plans to migrate back down to Bulawayo on Thursday.
