10. First-Timers
-Taking a team, the majority of who have never been out of
the country, on a life-changing 2 weeks that will enlarge, challenge and shape
their hearts all the more for the bigness of God’s beautiful story of
redemption
9. Beit Bridge
-Coming face to face with every Limpopo River crosser’s
arch nemesis. Queues, queues and more queues, it’s bureaucracy at its best (worst?). A worthy opponent to
anyone’s patience
8. The Base Church
-An NCMI church that is pioneering new God adventures in
the city of Harare, the country and excitingly other nations. Great to partner
with them
7. Pizza Inn
-The best pizza south of the equator hands down. Not to
mention that I once was their poster child as a redheaded Peppi the Pizza Boy
(but that’s a story for another day)
6. Rob Chifokoyo
-Pioneer of the organisation Dare2Serve (under the Miracle Mission umbrella) who serve orphanages, old age
homes and street children as well as empowering and inspiring the church of Harare. Privilege to dream with their team and be inspired by him.
5. CD’s on endless cycles of repeat
-3 days travel there, 3 days travel back. Enough said
4. Youth Ablaze Outreaches
-5 nights in 5 outlying rural towns, wild worship,
declaring the Gospel and seeing momentum launched as we head to nationwide youth
camps in the near future
3. Late nights, (very) early mornings
-Mission trips are not for the feint-hearted. Sleep-ins
are a thing of the past.
2. New and old friendships
-Travelling and ministering with over 60 people from Cape
Town, Bloemfontein and Durban as well as numbers from Harare, Bulawayo and
Mutare, this one’s the biggest yet
1. The Gospel changing lives
-no matter the cost, the leave taken, the administrative
organisation, the emotional and physical output, there is nothing that can
replace the joy of seeing the Gospel impacting lives and nations.
We go for the lost, the last and the least. We exist for
those who are yet to believe.
