Zimbabwe Church Plant

An Exciting Opportunity

The Assemblies of God in Zimbabwe has declared a God-sized vision to plant 500 new churches in their country. This nation has gone through a huge amount of conflict and economic struggle, which has now created a deep hunger within the people for a divine intervention of God’s presence. They are ready for a move of God and believe the time has come to go beyond the past conflicts and raise the banner of redemption with great enthusiasm. There has never been a better time than now to come alongside the AG in Zimbabwe and join hands to build the Kingdom of God.

Zim-Church Plant Objectives

Plant 500 Churches: Establish 300 tent churches and 200 SNAP churches across Zimbabwe within five years.
Leadership Development: Train and equip 500 local pastors and 1,000 lay leaders to lead these new congregations.
Community Impact: Facilitate community development through church-led initiatives, such as early childhood education, health, and economic empowerment programs.
Sustainability: Develop a self-sustaining model through local Zimbabwean church contributions.
Partnership Synergy: Leverage our experience and USA based organizations & churches’ expertise in church planting, coaching, and funding to ensure project success.

The Challenge

Like all mission projects, finances are always a challenge, but the good news is that we have developed a program for churches, organizations, and even individuals to be able to easily and successfully plant a church in Zimbabwe and in so doing fulfill the Great Commission. This is not a start-up venture, but rather a proven ministry that has already planted thousands of churches across Africa.

The reason why many have been reluctant to plant churches on the mission field is because there is so much work and finances involved. By joining hands with us, we will come alongside you and take all the hard work from there on your behalf.

And again, we have done this over-and-over!

Easy Steps to Get Involved

Begin to pray for the mission work in Zimbabwe.

Develop a plan to raise the funds for their church plant.

Cast the vision of planting a church, utilizing a tent that can seat 100-150 people. Cost includes equipment and innovative ways of equipping pastors by means of already available amazing technology and printed manuals.

Trained full-time Judea staff are standing by to facilitate these developments on behalf of you or your church. Judea oversees the acquisition of the tent, arrange for transportation from South Africa to Zimbabwe, and lead the church plant effort locally.

The Financial Commitment

The million-dollar question is: What is the cost of such a church plant?

The amazing answer is: $3,500 for the initial church plant. That’s it! Although that is not the total cost of the plant - the local church plant and partner organizations supplement the funds needed.

Connect with our organization, raise the funds, and the rest is history!

A representative will be available to help the pastor share the vision to the congregation.

The Initiative Does not Have to End There!

As the new church flourishes and the tent overflows with worshippers, a larger tent will be provided—made possible, ideally, through the continued generosity of the same U.S. church, organizations, or generous individuals.

If the growth proves to be especially rapid and sustained, we will bypass the larger-tent phase and proceed directly to constructing a permanent church building, which can be erected in a very short time.

With a $10,000 investment from a U.S. church, organization, or individual, this journey begins. Together with ICM’s strong financial partnership and the generosity of additional donors in Southern Africa, the permanent church building is completed. Most importantly, the Zimbabwean congregation takes ownership—contributing select building materials and local labor. They do not depend solely on U.S. support; rather, they actively invest in building their own house of worship.

An Added Benefit

Pastors, churches, and individuals who are serious about church planting in Zimbabwe and who financially and prayerfully support the vision, will be invited to visit their church plant in Zimbabwe, or even dedicate the tent-church if they desire. They will be accommodated in a well-kept and safe safari lodge in South Africa where they will enjoy a wildlife safari and taken to their mission outreach. This is by invitation only and these facilities (including meals) will be provided without any charge to the pastor, and a nominal fee for the team members (of course, travel expenses will be your responsibility).

There are times when visiting the church plant may not be feasible due to political or safety reasons. In this case, the pastor from the church plant will travel to the lodge in South Africa and meet with you.
