I have received a sum of money to begin a poultry business and it is moving so well. You have taught me to be a blessing as I have received a blessing from you.

Introduction

HMP is a partnership of Zimbabweans and Americans that exists to train pastors for effective church leadership and to enable the churches to reach their communities for Christ.

We are a resource for the churches of Zimbabwe, with a strong focus on Binga district. We go where we are invited, as we are able and as God provides, to serve, encourage and teach. We partner with church leaders who have a kingdom focus and servant hearts. We partner with people who have a vision and plan for sustainable business projects that promote the kingdom of God but who lack seed money to get started.
