B.S: Yes.

M.M: What are your impressions of Zimbabwe so far?
B.S: Beautiful, gorgeous country. It’s so peaceful with peace-loving people. I’m very impressed by the work and what God is doing here.

M.M: What are your thoughts on Crossroads?
B.S: I’m impressed with Crossroads Community Church. I’m impressed with the Vision, the extend and heart it has for the Nations. I feel a kinship coming from Fenway.
