About

Who we are

Heart & Mind Partnership works in Zimbabwe, primarily in the Binga District in northwest Zimbabwe—a remote area that is deeply impoverished and neglected. We also partner with churches and ministries throughout the country as invited.

Binga District, Zimbabwe

Where We Work

Heart & Mind Partnership is a partnership of Zimbabweans and Americans that exists to train pastors for effective church leadership and enable churches to reach their communities for Christ. We are relational, church-centered, and committed to sustainable, long-term transformation.

Vision

To see communities in Binga transformed through Christ-centered leadership, empowered children, and sustainable skills that bring hope and dignity for generations to come.

Mission

Heart and Mind Partnership exists to equip pastors with biblical training, support orphans with access to education, and provide vocational skills that empower individuals and strengthen families—building a foundation of faith, knowledge, and opportunity in the Binga district to advance the kingdom of God.

Our Values & Approach

  • We work within existing relationships
  • We go where we are invited
  • We avoid creating dependency
  • We work through local churches
  • We respect and honor local leaders
  • We are kingdom-focused, not denomination-focused

What We Believe

We believe in one eternal God who created all things by the power of His Word.  All creation accomplishes His purposes and shows His glory. We believe God is perfectly loving, perfectly just and merciful, and only in Him can love, justice and mercy be found. 

We believe Jesus of Nazareth is the unique son of God, a human being; the Word of God in a human body.  He lived a sinless life, died, and was resurrected by God on the third day, all as foretold by the prophets.  He ascended bodily to God’s presence and will return again to judge all creation.

We believe the gift of God is eternal life for all who seek His face but that the wicked will be punished with eternal death. God is seeking those who love justice, practice mercy and live humbly before Him. All who put their trust in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus are born of God into a new creation, with a living hope; filled with the holy Spirit, and made to be children of God.

We believe God will bring into being a new heaven and a new earth, filled with righteousness.  God Himself will dwell with His people and there will be no brokenness, suffering or death.

We believe that through Jesus of Nazareth we find in God our purpose in being, our significance and our reward.  He alone is our strength, our refuge and our comfort and in Him alone can we find wholeness and joy in life.
