Love Zimbabwe Festival Mobile Rallies: Spreading the Gospel Beyond Festival Walls
Staff Writer
The Love Zimbabwe Festival is taking its message of hope and redemption beyond the festival grounds through its innovative Mobile Rally Ministry. This initiative brings the Gospel to the outskirts and communities that might otherwise never experience it.
The Mobile Rallies are more than just events; they're a movement of God on wheels. With every stop, the team preaches, shares testimonies, and utilizes music and action sports to reach people where they are. Whether it's in bustling city streets or rural townships, the Mobile Rallies are designed to connect with individuals in their daily lives.
By taking the Gospel to the people, rather than waiting for them to come to the festival, the Love Zimbabwe Festival is making a tangible impact in communities across Zimbabwe. The Mobile Rallies serve as a powerful reminder that God's love is accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or circumstances.
Through this ministry, lives are being transformed, and the message of hope and redemption is being spread far and wide. As the Love Zimbabwe Festival continues to grow, its Mobile Rally Ministry remains a vital component of its mission to reach a wider audience and bring people closer to God.
Day in the Park”: A Simple, Powerful Model for Local Evangelism
By Staff Writer
The Global Network of Evangelists (GNE) has highlighted the Day in the Park (DITP) as an effective and easily replicable model for churches passionate about evangelism. Designed as a community-level outreach event, DITP offers a practical way for congregations to connect meaningfully with those outside their church walls.
At its core, the purpose of Day in the Park is to build relationships with the unreached communities that surround local churches. By taking ministry into public spaces—where people already gather—churches can demonstrate love, service, and the gospel in action. Whether through music, games, food, testimonies, or prayer stations, DITP creates a welcoming environment for authentic engagement.
GNE encourages churches worldwide to adopt and adapt the model to fit their own contexts. A free, customizable manual is available to help congregations plan and execute their own Day in the Park events effectively.

Persistence In Prayer
DAILY DEVOTION MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT
Luke 11:5,8
[5]And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;......[8]I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
The bible teaches us persistence in prayer. We must not lose heart but persist in pertitioning God for what we need. The more we seek, knock and ask; is the more we bring heaven to unfold and pour abundant blessings over us. The key to prayer is in consistency and faith in the ability of God to bring to pass what we desire.
It is also important to demonstrate our resolve to stand without wavering until we receive answers. We are encouraged to wait upon the Lord by being alert and positive in our outlook. It is important to refuse to allow despair to creep in, remaining vigilant and being full of thanksgiving and praise in our hearts. Wait upon the Lord while you pray and hope, truly believing without a doubt that God is able to fulfill His promises over us.
Prayer
Lord, I look to you in hope and faith. I persist in prayer because you promised that if we pray without ceasing, you hear us. Amen.

Church Continues To Support The Needy
When the granary is empty, a mother’s heart is heavy.
In Zimbabwe’s rural communities, where erratic rainfall and poor harvests have left many families food insecure, the church has remained a steadfast pillar of support. Through the Humanitarian Food Assistance Program, spearheaded by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) and supported by Canadian Foodgrains Bank and The United Church of Canada, thousands of households have found relief during the lean season.
Among the 12,006 participants in Gutu and Bikita Districts are women whose daily battles are often unseen—mothers and caregivers who stand at the heart of their homes, ensuring children are fed despite overwhelming odds. For them, each food basket received is more than just maize, oil, and beans. It is hope. It is dignity. It is a chance to sleep at night without the weight of hunger clouding tomorrow.
These women, often the first to rise and last to sleep, have become symbols of resilience in their communities. As climate change continues to threaten traditional farming and food sources, their strength and adaptability underscore why supporting such humanitarian initiatives is more important than ever.
The smiles of these mothers—bright and relieved—are a testament to what compassion, faith, and action can achieve. They remind us that church-led programs are not only about providing food; they are about restoring life, one basket at a time.
We celebrate their strength and the collective commitment to walk with the vulnerable. This is the Church in action—delivering more than aid, delivering hope.
