MISSIONS FOCUS

Project Update from Tarcisio
Last month we received a very impressive update from Tarcisio, our missions partner in Zimbabwe. He reported that: “… the church roof project ended up being a great testimony.”

He said the hailstorm that severely damaged the church roof led one of the church’s elders to enroll in the Evangelical Theological College of Zimbabwe’s one-year Bible College program to become a pastor.

His graduation with a certificate of pastoral ministry, along with the financial support that we provided via our Missions Special Opportunity Fund to repair the church’s severely damaged roof, and the additional support of The Evangelical Alliance Mission, inspired the building of a new sanctuary.

Tarcisio said the new center, which is nearing completion, was one of the places with the highest number of children in camp last August. He expressed his gratitude for our prayers and project support.

Tarcisio has an M.A. in Systematic Theology from Wheaton College and is an academic dean of the Evangelical Theological College of Zimbabwe. Read more about him and his ministry—Firm Foundation—here.
