Missions Partner Highlight: Update
Tarcisio, our ministry partner with “Firm Foundation” ministry in Zimbabwe, shared this update: The National Children’s Camp was very successful—a record 5,300 children participated, and scholarships were provided to more than 3,000. He said: “It was awesome to see so many kids learning about Jesus and having fun together.” Tarcisio also expressed gratitude for our prayers and support this past year, as well as for God’s protection over and provision for all the needs of the camp.
