Back to Zim in 07


Hello all,

Well we are back again on the Zim trek … we have not yet left Australia but our journey is only beginning. To fill you in on a few details … Jodi and I are looking at heading back over to Zimbabwe in February of 2007 and work within the Baptist church and Youth For Christ for the year. Our last trip to Zimbabwe really opened our eyes and our hearts to see a small glimpse of God’s purpose for our lives. To be honest, this step is not the easiest for Jodi and I to take, but we both know that God has a bigger and better plan for our lives than what we could ever imagine.

This road isn’t going to be the easiest journey we have ever taken … in fact as we look down this track there is a lot of organising and planning to be done in a short period of time. Basically everything in Zim is organised … it is just getting there that will be the more challenging part. There is still a bit of work to be done on our house before we can rent it out and there is still a large amount of fundraising to be done as well. In short, we are needing to raise at least $AUD 20,000 to keep our heads above water. We are going to be starting our fundraising shortly … hey if anyone has any fundraising ideas we are definitely interested.

Well I have to push on … make sure you stay posted as Jodi and I will be updating all who read our blog about our journey … it will be a challenging journey, but it will definitely have it’s rewards.
