Things are on there way ...

Welcome back to the blog, sorry it has been so long since our last writing, things have been absolutely crazy with organising and preparing for our next trip to Zimbabwe.
House Renovations: Whilst we are in Zim, we will be renting out our house, over the last 5 years that we have lived here, Jodi and I have always put off doing any work, now there is not much time to go until we leave and we have a fair bit to do. The great news is that most of the work for inside the house is almost done, we just have to pack up all of the stuff we are wanting to keep and try to sell / get rid of all the stuff that we just don't need anymore. In reference to the outstide of the house, our retaining wall is almost complete (as seen in the picture) and the fixing up of our deck will be started in the next couple of days. Then all we need to do is get the gardens looking nice and we are almost done.
Raising Support: Over the next month or so, Jodi and I will be visiting other churches to gain further prayer and financial support. This will be an exciting time to meet new people and to raise more awareness of what is happening.
Fundraising: It has been awesome to see God working and speaking to people in helping Jodi and I get back over to Zimbabwe. At this stage we have about half of the funds that we are needing (through one off domations as well as people pledging to give money on a weekly or monthly basis). There is still a lot more work to be done ... One thing that we have learnt from our last trip over to Zim, is that GOD HAS EVERYTHING IN CONTROL. We know He loves us and that He does want us in Zim, so He is not going to abandon us or leave us and He will provide for us all that we need ... we just need to be trusting and patient.
Our Website: Our website is finally complete ... follow the link to www.zimbabwebound.com

We look forward to sharing our journey with you again, so please stay tuned.

Until next time,

Jodi and Harry.
