Baptist Boys on Bikes

The missions leader of the Baptist Young Men's Fellowship of Mkoba Baptist Church in Gweru, felt led to take the group on a bicycle road trip to encourage Baptist Young Men at rural Gambiza Baptist Church.  

 On a Friday afternoon, Dzinashe, and his team members traveled about 25 miles over paved and rough rocky roads to get there.  

 On the way several bikes had to be repaired, and an accident bent the rim of another bike.

Team member Willie Green said that keeping the bikes going was probably the most challenging part of the trip.   As a result of all these issues they arrived at their destination long after they had planned, some arriving as late as 9:00 p.m.

 Saturday they had a time of fellowship and encouragement with the Gambiza Baptist young men.
Dzinashe and his team shared ways they could be a more active part in helping their own church and in reaching out to their community to share God's love.

The Mkoba guys proved that "boys will be boys" when it came to cleaning up.  They enjoyed the running water over this dam from a recent rain.















On the way home they had no problems with their bicycles, but they rode in rain most of the way home.   This did not dampen their excitement at all!  Team member Willie Green said it was a growing and bonding experience for all the young men and they are looking forward to their next trip!
