One of the
interesting facets of our recent visit to Zimbabwe was going to Chinhoyi which
I have only visited once before, back in 2010. Chinhoyi is about two hours’
drive from Harare and we went there having come from Bulawayo, on to Gweru, and
then to Chinhoyi, where we stayed overnight prior to continuing to Harare.
The main purpose was
to visit Lomagundi Uniting Presbyterian Church and see something of the
excellent work that is undertaken by the clinic that is based there. This is an
extremely good initiative that has now been in place for a significant number
of years. It is a great example of the church engaged in practical action and
popular in the local community because of the low charges.
It was also good to
meet a number of folk from the church and hear something of their life and
mission. One of their issues is the number of young people that they attract.
Alongside that, we
visited the famous Chinhoyi caves – and were impressed by the interesting
geological formations.
