Introduction: Zimbabwe Orphan Care 2013

  The calling to go and make disciples of the nations is neither the most comfortable nor the easiest calling for those of us who we've come to know as World Christians.
  For the next two months, our group of 13 students, part of the 177 serving this summer through Nehemiah Teams, are responding to a calling to Zimbabwe.  
  In just a matter of hours, we'll be landing in a country with a culture just as exotic and unknown to us as how to initially pronounce its name, where we'll be ministering to orphans with the local missionaries.


God has unified our team in phenomenal ways since the start of this journey, which started several months back for many of us.  We ask that as we go, you pray with us that we let our light shine before men, and that they may see our work and praise our Father in Heaven (Matthew 5:16) and that we remain one body of Christ in 13 pairs of shoes!
