Chik-fil-A Comes to Zimbabwe

One of the aims of the Chik-fil-A corporation is to invest in the lives of others through leadership development. The ministry branch of Chik-fil-A which makes this possible is called WinShape. What a pleasure it was to have C.T. Taylor (pictured below back left) and Jeff Rouse (back right) return again this year. Joining them for the first time were Kimberley Cox (front left) and Lauren Warner (front right).

In the few days they were here, they managed to do a lot of leadership training! They began with the staff of Lasting Impressions, a Christian camp near Kadoma that teaches leadership training and team building to older elementary school and high school students. Next they made their way to Gweru where their first leadership training was at the Baptist Camp where they met with Baptist pastors and their wives.

Then they had an opportunity to meet with the staff at Antelope Park. The staff there was excited about the training they received, and the first priority item they agreed needed to be accomplished was to establish a set of core values.

Later, they were able to address the participants of the Baptist Convention and teach some basic leadership principles to them. Later, they traveled to Sanyati where they met with the staff of the hospital for leadership training. They were also able to participate in the “makeover” by helping with the construction work there and meeting some of the neighbors around the hospital.
