OUR VISION
Our work in Zimbabwe focuses on three major areas :
Evangelism
Education
Healthcare.
We feel strongly about mission work and desire to serve others not only here in our local community but in Africa. We are excited to be a part of something bigger than us. We embrace the great commission which Jesus Christ gave his disciples, Mark 16: 15-16, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
We are not perfect but we pray that our lifestyle as followers of Christ will influence those around us, and that they will be eager to learn more about Christ. Our prayer is that God will help all of us to faithfully share His Will whenever and wherever we GO!!!

We provide them with first aid kits, small jars of Vaseline, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hairbrushes, clothes and feminine products. The cost to ship supplies is prohibitive. Therefore, on each Foreign Missions trip, Magnolia Park has been carryingthe products as luggage. One particular part of our effort is making

Reusable feminine sanitary napkins. Our Sisters have been making these items to ship as we plan to travel to Hillside Church of Christ Orphans Care Center Masvingo, Zimbabwe in January 2023.
