On Monday, November 3, 2025, I will be leaving Louisville for my mission trip to Zim­babwe. I will arrive there the next night at 10pm or on Wed. morning, depending on my connection in Johannesburg, South Africa. I will be there until November 26, 2025. Bro. Dale Garrett will be arriving about a week earlier as he is presenting a seminar on Creation­ism to a youth gathering at the Mbare Church of Christ in Harare.

It is our aim and desire to encourage the brothers and sisters while we are there in Zimbabwe. We will be staying with Bro. Trust Mbandi and his wife of the Glen Norah Church of Christ. I have been asked to preach and teach at 3 congregations while in Harare. The churches are as follows: Glen Norah (Nov. 9th), Waterfalls (Nov. 16), and Kuwazania (Nov. 23). I will giving 2 lessons at the first two congregations and 3 at the last one. I’ve also been asked to teach on 3 Wednesday nights if I am available at Glen Norah.

During one of the weeks, Bro. Dale and I will accompany Bro. David Mazambani to the Nyanga area (about a 5 hour trip from Harare. We will be visiting a Secondary School he is involved with where the Chaplin and Headmaster are members of the Churches of Christ and many of the students are also.

I will be delivering some items from Bro. Robert Garrett to Bro. Daniel Kubvaruno at the Rockwood Bible Camp in Ruwa.

I want to thank all the individuals and churches who have prayed for my mission work and have contributed financially. If any one still wants to contribute they can send the funds either to my sponsoring church, Hamburg Church of Christ, 8921 Newberry Rd, Sell­ersburg, IN 47172 or to me at Larry Miles, 3830 Northwestern Parkway, Louisville, KY 40212. My phone number is 502-235-4482 and my email address is larrymiles1952@gmail.com

I have received some funds that have been designated for purchasing Bibles in either English or in the Shona dialect. I am sending those funds to Bro. Thrust Mbandi in advance of my arrival so he can purchase Bibles. Other funds will be used for some benevolence needs.

Yours in the Blessed Hope,

Larry Miles
