our ministry model

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound… They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.” – Isaiah 61:1-4

The Village Circle

At the heart of our ministry is The Village Circle—a model rooted in the African way of life, where faith, family, and community are inseparable. African culture is deeply holistic and communal—life is not lived in isolation, but in relationship with others. Decisions are made collectively, wisdom is passed down through generations, and every person has a role in the well-being of the village.

In this spirit, The Village Circle ensures that ministry is not just an external effort but an integrated part of daily life.

Our Village Pastors

At the center are our Village Pastors, who serve as the heartbeat of the community. They are more than preachers—they are shepherds, mentors, and advocates. They live among the people, walk with them through life’s challenges, and provide both spiritual and practical guidance.

We equip and empower these pastors to lead effectively, ensuring they have the tools to disciple their communities and respond to their greatest needs

Village Leaders

Surrounding the Pastors are Village Leaders—local chiefs, headmen, and elders—who play a vital role in shaping the life of their communities. We work alongside these leaders, recognizing their deep cultural wisdom and the trust they hold within their villages. They provide essential context, stability, and communal permission for the work being done, ensuring that ministry efforts are rooted in the unique needs and traditions of each community. By honoring and partnering with these leaders, we strengthen the foundation for lasting transformation.

Community Development

We believe that spiritual transformation is strengthened when basic needs are met, allowing individuals, families and communities to thrive with dignity. Our approach to community development is rooted in sustainability and empowerment, ensuring that villages have the resources they need to build a better future. Through community-driven initiatives, we provide:

  • Clean Water – Access to safe drinking water is life-changing. We drill wells in rural villages and launch irrigation projects that improve sanitation, health, and agricultural productivity.

  • Food Security – No child should go to school hungry. Our school feeding programs ensure children receive nutritious meals, while sustainable agriculture initiatives help families grow their own food and strengthen local food systems.

  • Education Sponsorships – Education unlocks opportunity. We provide scholarships for elementary and high school students, ensuring that children can learn, grow, and pursue their God-given potential.

Through these initiatives, we create a foundation for both spiritual and physical transformation, equipping communities with the tools they need to flourish.

Ministry Development

A strong church is the heartbeat of a thriving community. We invest in leadership development, discipleship, and outreach to equip local believers to carry out the Great Commission. By raising up strong spiritual leaders, we ensure that faith is passed down through generations.

  • Village Shepard Ministry – A leadership development and pastoral support initiative designed to train and equip new and current pastors. Through mentorship, theological training, and hands-on ministry experience, we empower our pastors to shepherd their communities with wisdom and faith.

  • Church Conferences & Seminars – We gather believers for training, encouragement, and renewal, strengthening churches through in-depth teaching and collaborative learning.

  • Local Ministry Outreach – Our ministry extends beyond the church walls. Village Shepherds minister in schools, churches, and villages, bringing hope and spiritual transformation where it’s needed most.

By equipping faithful, committed leaders, we ensure that the Gospel takes deep root in every village we serve.

Evangelism

Jesus calls us to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). We believe evangelism is more than just preaching—it’s about living out the Gospel, building relationships, and planting seeds of faith in new communities.

  • Church Planting – We establish local churches in surrounding villages, ensuring that every community has a place to gather for worship, discipleship, and fellowship.

  • Short-Term Missions – We connect the global church with local communities, providing opportunities for mission teams to serve, teach, and encourage believers in Zimbabwe.

  • Sports Ministry – Soccer, basketball, and netball tournaments are powerful tools for outreach and unity. These events bring people together, create opportunities to share the Gospel, and strengthen relationships within the community.

Through these evangelism efforts, we are not just bringing people to faith—we are building Christ-centered communities that will stand for generations.
