This morning I was informed of some very sad news. One of our long-time supporters, Reverend Agatha Joramu Fombo – Pastor Aggie Fombo – has passed away. Apparently, she had been in declining health over recent months and had also lost her husband just a few months before.
During my visit to Zimbabwe in October, I had hoped to meet up with Aggie to pass my condolences in person. Sadly, it never happened. It appears she had been in hospital in September, and so was not well enough to visit.
So I never actually met with her, and the closest I came was when we recorded her podcast along with our regular host, Bradley Mell. I recall really enjoying the recording, Aggie came across with much humanity & humbleness, and I have to say, with the sheer joy of living. She laughed a lot & it was infective. You can hear it all in the podcast in the last post at the foot of this blog.
To me, she lived her beliefs to the full, working among and for the underprivileged in her community, in and around the city of Mutare.
Below are links to her contributions to this blog, 3 separate posts, and a wonderful podcast!
