rubatano and hands at work in mozambique have been hosting many visitors this year, especially since february: a group of hands staff from south africa, potential supporters/donors from canada, jean aimee from the states, levy from south africa, and pastor davies from malawi, etc.
after conference at the end of march, though, i had the opportunity to host a group of visitors from home! ki won, my good friend from college, and alfredo, his friend from med school, spent their spring break on a missions trip with hands, visiting me and some of the projects that hands supports. not exactly from home/home, but like seeing lauren from wellspring at conference -- a sweet taste of home. live care packages!
it was surreal, though, in both instances; two worlds -- my african world and american world -- colliding.
paul (australia), pastor farai (zimbabwe), ki won and alfredo (states)
the two of them only stayed in africa for about 10 days, but we were able to c
ram in a lot of activities: community stay in masoyi, south africa (+kruger park); gondola hospital visit, baby clinic visit, and home-based care in mozambique; home-based care and worship service/playtime with orphans in zimbabwe. paul, a representative from hands australia, also joined us on our travels, and by God's grace, we didn't face any major challenges and enjoyed our time as we experienced a glimpse of God's heart for His people.
most of the photos above are those from honde valley, zimbabwe, where pastor farai hosted us for 2 days.
this was my second time visiting honde valley and the communities that pastor farai serves. one word immediately comes to mind whenever i think of this place: beautiful. the valley is beautiful. the people are beautiful. God, you are beautiful.
photos from my first visit to honde valley.
landscape of the valley.
can you see the two waterfalls on the left? one of them is supposed to be the tallest waterfall in africa.
