A special treat for some widows

One of the highlights of the FBC Bryan, TX volunteer team was sponsoring a dinner for the widows of Mkoba Baptist Church in Gweru. Before eating a meal, one is always given the opportunity to wash one's hands. Some of the ladies of the church volunteered to prepare the meal. They cooked up big pots of rice and sadza (thick mealie meal porridge). They also prepared chicken and beef dishes, vegetables, and coleslaw. It was a real feast. A meal one might only see at a very special occasion like Christmas. The team members enjoyed sitting with the widows during the meal and getting to know them. Each widow was very excited when she received her gift bag of goodies. After the meal, team member Lynette shared a devotional with the ladies to encourage them and remind them of God’s watchcare and love for them. Then the widows were given an opportunity to share their testimonies. It was very powerful to hear how lady after lady shared all that God had done for her and provided for her needs. The team stayed at Antelope Game Park while ministering in Gweru. While there, they were treated to a donkey carriage game drive which is a great way to get up close to the wild animals Later the team enjoyed a "braai" or African barbecue at the Serenity Lodge where they were staying.
