Catching up with Marlene Poe

Marlene Poe

Sam and Marlene Poe are from Tacoma, USA and they are serving in Kezi, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe up until July. What a privilege to work closely with such a precious couple who have a wealth of knowledge and experience. I caught up with Marlene at Camp Momentum in Kezi.....
