Life with the Moore Family

Nick and Kyndra Moore arrived in Zimbabwe just after Christmas,2015

with their 7 children.  Their first few months have gone really well.  Now that six months have passed, the “newness”, “excitement” and “sense of adventure” is wearing off, especially as they face

the reality of living in a third world country.  Missing home and familiar things is hard.  Lack of understanding culture and cultural clues in conversations is frustrating and leads to misunderstandings.  Pray for them as they work through these issues faced by all new missionaries.  

Nick has been learning the ropes at the seminary and getting to know the faculty there.  He is teaching part time while he and Kyndra do their language and culture acquisition. He hopes to help decentralize our seminary education to make leadership training accessible to more people where they live.  Please pray for him and others as they seek to make this a reality.

 Kyndra has a mother’s heart for children everywhere and has great compassion for the orphans and street kids in Gweru.   She has found the church where they are fed each day and is going periodically to tell them a Bible story before they eat.   She got to share the gospel with them a week ago and 6 of the kids prayed to receive Christ.   Pray for these street kids that their hearts and lives will truly be changed as a result.  Pray that God will pave the way for a better future and give them the desire to become more than beggars who are dependent on sniffing glue.

Their older children are attending Midlands Christian School.   The boys are learning how to play rugby for the first time and enjoying this rough and rugged game.  

The younger children are enjoying getting to know their caretaker, exploring their world and are also learning how to speak Shona!
