In the spring of 2017, our family of six followed God's lead to Nhowe Mission and the Brian Lemons Memorial Hospital, located in Zimbabwe, Africa. During the six months that we were there, we put our whole hearts into serving in the church, hospital, school, and orphanage, while immersing ourselves in the amazing Zimbabwean culture.

We are prayerful and passionate about our work continuing at Nhowe Mission and next time we look forward to taking some of you along, too! Stay tuned for more information!

On Erik's first trip to Zimbabwe, a Zimbabwean carpenter taught Erik the meaning of Jehovah-jireh.  We have taken the phrase and extended it throughout our mission plans.  "The LORD will provide," has taken on a much bigger meaning as we plan to take four eager little hearts (with eight great big eyes) across the ocean to one of the poorest countries in the world.

Last month we took this phrase and used it to design and print some t-shirts to help fund our trip to Zimbabwe.  To our surprise, the t-shirts were way more popular than we ever expected and we sold out of them in just a few days!  We now have the t-shirts for sale online until September 22nd.  100% (minus the shipping and handling fee) of the cost of the t-shirt goes to support us in Zimbabwe.  It is so much fun to see our friends wearing these shirts out and about!  The shirts have also served as a teaching tool and conversation piece when we've been stopped and asked what "Jehovah-jireh," means.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:25-34
