Welcome to Zimbabwe!


Hello All! We have made it to Zimbabwe in one piece! It was a LOOOOOOONG flight! Our trip from Washington to Dakar was full, but some of us were able to score two seats together to stretch our legs from Dakar to Johannesburg. We has some questionable in flight food, but the great movie selection made up for it. I think everyone watched Michael Jackson's "This is It" which got us all ready to bust a move! We made it into Harare at 11pm. We calculated up about 24 hours of travel from take off in Raleigh to touch down in Harare.

We have enjoyed getting to know each other and are confident that God is directing our ZOE family to do great things. We stayed in Harare last night at the beautiful Mandle Training Centre. It truly an oasis in the middle of the city. The grounds are beautiful with lots of flowers and even a pool! We are missing three bags-- both of Tim's and one of Jean's team bags. We may be able to recover it before we head out to Mutare.

We are getting ready to travel to Mutare where we have a day full of sorting and packing to prepare for our first clinic day tomorrow. Thank you all for the warm send off and continued prayers. Know that we take YOU our FUMCC, OUMC, family and friends are here with us in Zimbabwe! Until the next internet find….


Casey and the whole team
