Masvingo, Zimbabwe
Overview
We met the Central Zimbabwe Conference leaders at ASI and have been partnering with them on various evangelism related projects and now it’s time to take a mission team to visit! They have invited us to hold a series of meetings in the area just outside of Masvingo where we will present our evangelistic series for adults and children, as well as clinics. There will also be a new church construction project at the Pokoteke Church. Come join us in serving the community at Masvingo for God's exciting new mission!

Additional Information
Karl Lindsay
Karl is an Australian living in America who left his heart in Africa. He is passionate about creating opportunities for others to have transformative experiences and share the gospel as disciple-makers in places all over the world. As a Quiet Hour team leader, he is looking forward to helping you fall in love with sharing Jesus in the mission field.
Speaker
Each speaker will:
- present the My Friend Jesus messages at their assigned meeting site on the trip.
- show one segment of the Jesus Film at the beginning of each night as an introduction to Jesus.
- Be responsible for bringing the presentation kit provided by QHM.
Children’s Program Leader and Helpers
The Friendship Hour leader is in charge of coordinating and leading the children's program with the help of supporting team members. QHM provides a suitcase with a Bible story felt set, Friendship Hour handbook, and a craft package for each of the 10 meetings.
The children's ministry assistant provides support and help to the leader.
- Song service, games, and additional activities are at the leader’s discretion. The evangelistic meetings may run longer than the children's program, so prepare to keep the kids actively engaged in learning about Jesus and have age-appropriate games or activities in mind. Uncle Arthur-type stories are sure to please young inquisitive minds.
Clinic Team Members
The clinic team members help as assigned at the health clinic and present health talks before each evening meeting. At times, they are also asked to bring a piece of luggage from QHM containing: glucose meters, stethoscopes, eye testers, eye charts, and reading glasses.
Construction Project Team Members
The construction team members put in physical labor to help complete building projects. Talk with our staff about bringing construction basics: hammer, screwdriver, pliers, wrench, tape measure, work gloves, work shoes, or additional supplies. Areas may be rugged, so closed-toe athletic shoes will work best to protect against rocks and uneven footing.
Take time as a group to relax, recharge, and experience the local culture.
