UPCOMING SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIPS

If you go on a trip to Home of Home, you might play with the children, tutor, read with them, play games, participate in evening devotions, help with improvements at the Home, plan meals and help cook. Walking to school and doing chores with the children offers an authentic glimpse into their daily lives.

You might interact with ladies in the community who are learning to sew and listen to their stories of how this initiative is changing their lives. You could lead the weekly women’s Bible Study or a Ladies Retreat or talk about Jesus one-on-one with the people you meet.

Others who come to Home of Hope could be involved in teaching woodworking or other skills, or helping with a soccer tournament where the salvation message is preached, or sharing a testimony in church.

Teams visit various ACPI (Africa Church Planting Initiative) church plants to encourage and pray with the pastors and those attending church. AEC has sponsored two church plants and is now preparing to begin sponsorship of three more churches.

In an effort to better understand the culture of the area, you would visit homes in the community, learn how they do life, encourage them with verses, and pray with them. Field trips to the village and downtown Harare, as well as a safari, offer different perspectives of life in Zimbabwe.

Tentative Future Teams: Let us know your interest, skills, and gifts, and we will plan a trip for you!
