In December 2014, I traveled Zimbabwe and spent some time with a street kids ministry as well as a pioneering ministry in a slum township of Harare. I spent Christmas and lived with a beautiful Zimbabwean family - a connection I made because of a friend I met through my writing blog a year ago! I took a 12-hour bus to Victoria Falls, had some uber funtimes at the gorge jump and crossed the border into Botswana to explore Chobe River National Park. I celebrated New Year's at a sprawling high-density township called Chitungwiza with some good friends despite the rain, mud, and flooded streets. I loved every minute of Zimbabwe and was so challenged by the things I saw and the incredible local heroes I met.
