We met on this rainy day at the church at 3:45pm for a brief meeting and prayer, and then headed off to Miami International Airport to begin the adventure of international travel. The ride to the airport was a test in patience as we drove in rainy traffic for 2 hours. Then it was on to airport security, security, more security. We are taking 13 extra duffel bags filled with medical supplies, toys, clothes, eye glasses, balloons, soccer balls and a pump, children's books, sports equipment, crafts, hygiene products, ...you name it, we've got it packed. Thanks to the generous donations of individuals, hospitals, and businesses, we will be able to bless the full time missionaries with much needed supplies. Our travel schedule has us flying from Miami to London, and with an 10 hour layover we'll be able to enjoy the sights of the city before boarding a second flight on to Harare, Zimbabwe. We will arrive in Zimbabwe after more than 40 hours of travel (yes, that's four zero!). Be praying for us to get plenty of rest on the two international flights, for us to remain healthy and arrive rested and ready for all they will encounter. Keep checking back for updates.... we'll try to write as often as we can.With much anticipation,
The Zimbabwe Mission Team
