GENERAL INFORMATION
The Lucy Pruett Trinity Care Center is based approximately 90 miles
southeast of Harare in a rural setting. The Center consists of HOME UNITS
FOR ORPHANS, a MEDICAL FACILITY, a FEEDING CENTER and a CHAPEL. We offer a
wide range of experiences from evangelistic outreach, building projects,
childcare, medical programs and clerical work. As we are a Christian
community, we require a high degree of commitment and flexibility from
everyone involved.
We are NOT offering a holiday in Africa! We suggest that interns who wish
to travel and sightsee organize this for themselves after their internship
program is completed.
Life in Zimbabwe is very different than in the USA and it must be
understood that all recruits be emotionally and spiritually mature enough
to cope with the demands and sometimes hardships of missionary work. In
short, interns need to come prepared to involve themselves full in the
life and work of the mission.
