Return to Harare
11th & 12th August 2026 11th August 2026 (A few of Josh’s photos and videos from the 11th including: lunch cassava, baobab seeds, Kadoma Feast site, sunset at a local events venue) 12th August 2026 A later start was warranted, although we still needed to pack. The goal was to be in Harare by noon…

Respite and Reminders of Reality
11th August 2026 Sometimes with all the running around it’s easy to forget to just take a break and relax a little. Tuesday was definitely that day for us. I woke up at a respectable time and even went back to sleep several times. I’ve heard that you can’t really catch up on sleep that…

Houses of Stone, Highways of Rubble
10th August 2026 I received an early morning message from Victor. Part of it read “Dzimbadzimabwe.” This is a Shona phrase that means “houses of stone.” That’s where we were headed. Great Zimbabwe is the remnant of an ancient African civilization, the ancestors of the Shona people. Throughout Southern Africa there are more than 500…

Sunshine and Fruit Trees
9th August 2026 Finally a good night’s sleep. I woke up feeling somehow refreshed and tired at the same time. But I knew my first cup of coffee would be coming soon. Josh and I both decided to take some medicine and fall asleep early rather than stay up and pack. It was the right…

Sabbath in Kwekwe
8th August 2026 Morning came and I was ready for more sleep. Josh and I both have some kind of minor cold. I had it first so it’s definitely my fault that he caught it. There’s also some bug going around the world because we’ve heard of a couple others in Zim who also have…

Sunday Drive to Eastern Malawi?
8th February 2026 I never considered that Malawi would have Eastern and Western regions. After all, it’s such a narrow country. But considering that it takes time to travel from east to west (such as from Salima to Lilongwe) it makes sense. Here’s a map of the region to give you an idea of Malawi’s…

Blantyre Visits
6th February 2026 We planned for an early start so I had to make sure I was ready to go. After coffee but veggie anything else, Dan showed me the water pump that has been in use at the church property here in Blantyre for seven years. There was a short circuit and the backup…

Landing in Blantyre in Style
5th February 2026 It was a quiet morning. The power was out all night and nothing had changed as the sun came up. I knew at some point I would have to get up and pack my bags. Whenever I have a flight or a trip planned I usually spend the whole day preparing for…
