This site was created, designed, and dedicated to the promotion of educating our family and friends on the matters of our mission to Zimbabwe. We want to capture you in the same ways we were captured, to gain your enthusiastic support and understanding, and it is our hope that you too may desire to become more involved. "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abouding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." - 1 Corinthians 15:58

Gateway Primary School


One of the places Meg and I will have a chance to serve is at Gateway Primary School with Headmaster Kevin Ricquebourg. The school is a Christian school in Harare (from which the Bell children have graduated!). The school opens for its second term of the year on May 9, a day before our arrival. The areas in which we have the opportunities to be involved include: Remedial dept, Music dept, Phys ed dept, Art dept, Computer dept, Infants dept, and Junior dept - the latter two involve being in a regular classroom as a teacher's assistant, according to Mr. Ricquebourg. "In addition to the above we would make use of you in the afternoons assisting in the coaching of team games such as netball, volleyball or hockey." (How exciting!)

Please begin to pray for this area - for this school, for the leadership and students attending, for the school year and
academics and for the relationships that will be formed.
We will also probably experience other schools, public as opposed to private, to get a taste for the differences. Please pray for those possibilities as well!

This is just one area in which we know for sure we'll be volunteering. As other information becomes available, especially in involvement with Central Baptist's ongoing ministries, we will keep you informed. Thanks for tuning in! God bless.
