Thank you for your generosity in giving. This allows us the opportunity to proclaim the gospel, build a strong and supportive church community and to help those in need.
God tells us in His Word that He loves a cheerful giver, which is why we always want to create opportunities to give of our resources as He leads us. There is zero obligation to give, but rather an open avenue of worship to connect fully with the heart of God.

August Mission: Zimbabwe Church Partnerships
In the face of intensifying climate change impacts and increasing vulnerability, Christian Care Zimbabwe, a relief and development partner of Global Mission Partners, is spearheading a transformative project in the Bikita and Zaka districts of Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe.
The initiative, “Building Sustainable Livelihoods and Climate Resilience to Mitigate Displacement in Zimbabwe,” is a remarkable example of how local communities can lead efforts to address climate challenges.
The Masvingo Province communities themselves drive this project. Local stakeholders are directly involved in designing and implementing key interventions. The project is improving access to groundwater and enhancing sustainable livelihoods through agriculture. Supported by Global Mission Partners and ACT for Peace, the project helps communities build resilience to climate-induced threats.
The project’s success lies in its holistic approach, linking environmental conservation with livelihood improvements. The various activities mitigate environmental degradation and provide economic opportunities to the communities.
