International Mission Support
Nothing But Nets
The Faith Youth Group and Faith Mission Team has raised funds to support the Nothing But Nets project that purchases malaria nets to protect children in Africa.
Partnership with Zimbabwe Church
The Faith UMC has partnered with a circuit of UMC Churches in the Mutare District on the East side of Zimbabwe. Three churches and one preaching point make up the Zimuyua West Circuit. This developing partnership includes sending at least $600 of financial support a year plus including these churches in our prayers. The Zimbabwe churches pray for us and teach us much about living out the gospel in difficult circumstances.
Due to the political climate, the employment rate in the region is 2%. So UNemployment is 98%. Yet their UMC is growing at over 10% a year in Zimbabwe with vital ministries including running schools, hospitals and clinics, etc.
