Bill analyses the decision-making process of humans, including the flaws in the process, such as the inherited trait of making very quick decisions based on very limited information (often required by all species [not just humans] in times of mortal combat). Specifically, he talks about (compares and contrasts) bias, prejudice, racism, sin, and guilt. He also discusses wisdom, serenity, courage, and forgiveness.

This is the second of two consecutive presentations about Jerry and Tatenda Johnson’s efforts to help urban street boys and mothers with babies. It features our recent video conversation (via Skype from MBCC) with these kids and mothers of Harare (Zimbabwe’s capitol), who have taken refuge in Jerry’s “Finding Hope” house. They tell us about themselves, including their daily challenges on the city streets and their hopes and struggle for a better future.

Bruce reported on his September visit to the home that Jerry and Tatenda Johnson’s “Finding Hope” charity has established for street boys in Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe. Bruce was joined on this trip by Jim Goswiller, Pat Johnson (Jerry’s father), and the wives of all three. Bruce began by giving a brief history of Zimbabwe, including its recent politics and its economy. Then he focused on the Finding Hope house, including its accommodations and the availability of water, electricity, transportation, and security. Finally, Bruce discussed four items: his group’s interaction with these boys housed at Finding Hope, the boys’ efforts to improve their own circumstances, the boys’ survival on the streets of Harare, and the boys’ plans for the future.
