Introduction to Zimbabwe and St. Andrews United Methodist Church

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country surrounded by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the southwest, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique to the east and north. Additional facts can be found at Zimbabwe-CIA-The World Factbook.

For nearly 15 years the Park Forest Village United Methodist Church, State College, PA has had a sister-church relationship with St. Andrews, arranged through the General Board of Global Ministries. This association has grown over the years through correspondence and reciprocated visits. We also collect an annual offering towards St. Andrews medical aid fund.

   St. Andrew's is part of the Seke North Circuit (20 Miles from Harare),
Chitungwiza-Marondera District, Zimbabwe East Conference, United Methodist Church

 

Below, their pastor, the Rev. Joseph Chimberengwa, points to St. Andrews UMC's ministries in photos. In a July 16 email he wrote: We are looking forward for you to teach on the following a) the role of small groups in church growth, b) it will be good to us if you could preach to us two sermons, and c) equipping children’s ministries teachers. We are going to show you how we conduct our services and our mission areas and activities from our junior church. All in three days, August 24-27! Your prayers are crucial!!
