05/30/23 Covid Update: The vaccine is not required. It’s a little unclear if Zimbabwe is still requiring a negative covid test or not. Official websites still say it’s required, but news reports are saying that was dropped on May 10. (Official websites for Zimbabwe are very slow to update their info.) We will get a definite answer before the trip and make sure everyone has the paperwork they need to enter the country.
Team Activities
In a country of orphans there’s no end to the children’s ministry needed. Zimbabwe is one of the most economically depressed countries in the world and AIDS has ravaged the adult population, leaving many orphans without training, parenting, or provision. You can be a part of loving the kids of Zimbabwe and showing them Jesus through a camp-style ministry.
In addition, you can help train a group of young adults who have graduated from the orphanages and have a heart for children’s ministry. They will work alongside our team, help us run camps, and then take the concepts of the curriculum to more villages around Zimbabwe.
Expect to be challenged as stretched as you pour out love in a part of the world that needs to experience the love of Christ in action.
