I grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe, where my family enjoyed freedom of worship despite my father being an atheist. One day, I stumbled upon a Gideon’s New Testament that my sister had received at school. I read it as if it were a novel. Years later, during high school, I joined the chess club and made a friend who invited me to church. It was there that I prayed to receive Christ. However, I later experienced a period of backsliding during my college years. In college, I met Taffy, who invited me to a weekend outreach. As part of our preparation, we practiced sharing the Four Spiritual Laws. That morning, I recommitted my life to Christ. I then became part of a discipleship group led by Taffy, a Cru staff member. Over time, I took on leadership roles within the student community. After completing my first degree, I sensed God’s call to ministry among students. I joined Life Ministry Zimbabwe as a full-time local missionary. Initially, I worked at the University of Zimbabwe, reaching out to students.  In 2010, I married Nancy. God blessed us with two sons, Elioenai Seth 2014 and Jed 2020. Later, I shifted my focus to coordinating community humanitarian projects, including nutritional gardens, classroom construction, clinic development, and relief aid distribution. This work allowed us to collaborate with churches and offer evangelism and discipleship training to congregations, leading to new church plants. I’ve been involved in this ongoing ministry for the past 15 years.Along the way I have graduated twice with an MSc Governance and Leadership as well as MA Transformational Leadership in 2016 and 2022 respectively. Additionally, I serve on the National Operations team for Life Ministry, providing essential systems and resources to frontline workers.
