Zimbabwe Orphanage Mission Trip Update:
We have been contacted by two orphanages in Zimbabwe that care for abandoned children. Isaiah's House is home to 21 children (4 months to 5 years old) and a boys home caring for children who have previously lived on the streets. The leaders of these homes work directly with Craig Jones, who will be our host and Summer Seminary Internship Coordinator.
They have sent us a short list of important items needed for the precious children in their care. Please pray that we would be able to collect and deliver these items to their homes in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
Underwear – boy & girls – particularly small sizes
Socks – unisex –1 year old up
wash cloths
Ziplock bags, all sizes
Coloring pencils
Toddlers (boys) shorts 2-3 years
Swimsuits for toddlers 2-4yrs
Sunhats for toddlers
Wet wipes
Stationery – early learning scissors
The ministry leader stated that there is always a need for stationery and art & craft materials throughout the Ministries (pens & pencils, book covers, coloring pencils, paint-brushes etc). We plan to work with this established Orphan ministry in Bulawayo. See www.ourneighbours.org for more information.
Thank you for praying for our family, the orphans in Bulawayo and the ministry in Zimbabwe that will be hosting us. We can be contacted at see5ritchies@yahoo.com if you want to join our support team.
