My Calling

In Exodus 35:30–35, God called Bezaleel, a man filled with wisdom and skill, to serve Him with his hands.

I believe God has called me the same way. For the past 2.5 years in Zimbabwe, I’ve been serving as a missionary — using my hands as a builder, innovator, and servant to meet practical needs and bring hope in Jesus’ name.

God has opened many doors, but to walk through them I need faithful partners who can support this mission financially.

What I Do

Hospitals & Water

• Maintain and repair several hospitals so doctors and nurses can continue their work.

• Provide boreholes and water systems for hospitals and communities in need.

Spread the Gospel 

• Throughout everything I do, the Gospel is the centre. I try to shine God’s Light in this dark world by showing love, hope and peace 

Builder & Innovator

• As a builder, I bring practical solutions and innovation — welding, construction, and vehicle repair.

• My focus is not just fixing things but creating lasting change.

Training Children

• Teaching children practical skills.

• Instilling a biblical mindset: work hard, do your job well, and honor God.

♿ Supporting the Disabled

• Many disabled children in Zimbabwe stay home all day with no chance to learn.

• Schools are scarce and often too expensive.

• With your help, we can send disabled children to school and give them a chance to discover their gifts.

Why Support Matters

This mission requires more than just my hands — it needs resources:

• Hospital repairs and equipment

• Borehole drilling supplies

• Tools, fuel, and building materials

• School fees for disabled children ♿

Monthly support is the backbone of this mission. It allows me to plan ahead, respond to urgent needs, and keep building hope for the future.

How You Can Partner

• $25 / month → Helps maintain hospitals and vehicles

• $50+ / month → Supports boreholes, schools, and larger projects

No gift is too small. Every contribution builds lives, futures, and hope.
