Welcome to my blog! I'm glad you are joining me on this wonderful journey to Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe. After my visit two years ago, I felt God calling me back to provide some counseling assistance to students. Many of you know that the wait for approval of my temporary employment permit has been long and very frustrating, BUT that is all behind me now. I will be leaving on Mon., August 19 to fly from Chicago O'Hare via Dulles and Johanasburg to Harare, where I will spend the night. A driver from AU will pick me up on Wed. morning for the 3-4 hour ride to Africa University.
Above is the billboard that greeted us as we approached the entrance to the campus. A new billboard now proclaims the 20-year anniversary!! It is, indeed, an institution where lives are being changed so students can return to their own countries and be change agents!
I welcome your prayers as you go with me in my heart. Plans are for me to return home on Nov. 27.
May you enjoy every minute. Wish that I could come for a visit.
ReplyDeleteDearest Mary Beth, Great start to your blog! Congratulations! Thought of you all morning as you were commissioned at church and praying that many hands were laid on you. I wish I had been there for it but please know that hands were reaching out to you from afar.
