In this episode I interview a long time family friend, Skip Ritchie.
Skip's been a world traveler, going to varying countries to spread the Good News while assisting to the needs of the poor. A true man of Christ indeed.
Over the past few years, Skip has been going to Zimbabwe of all places which has interested me greatly. I've been a long time follower of the happenings in Zimbabwe, with the celebration of ending the colonial, apartheid rule, to the devastation caused by Mugabe and now to a new hope as Mugabe has left the scene.
It's important to understand that Zimbabwe/Rhodesia, was considered the "breadbasket" of ALL Africa in the middle part of this century.
Wonderful people. Lots of resources. The British technical know how. Yet, Mugabe ruined all that with his tyrannical reign. Heartbreaking is not a strong enough word.
But life goes on. And Zimbabwe may be on the threshold of something huge..with a bit of help from abroad, government reform and some good luck.
