Ministry efforts in Zimbabwe 2010-2015
 |
| PASSIONATE FOR GOD!!! |
Training and discipleship efforts
are still vital in the use of sports ministry to impact Zimbabwe with the
gospel. Since the start of the sports ministry movement in Zimbabwe 5 years
ago, three people have gone through ISLS, Peter Muruko, Tobias Sheta and Archieford
Muchaka in their different capacities they all have assumed the task of
equipping their fellow country-men and women on the use of sport and game in
ministry.
Since 2010 we have done a number
of envisioning in Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Banket, Chinhoyi, Mutare and
Marondera. This has led to our level 1 and 2 trainings to those who were eager
to participate more in the kingdom through sports ministry activities.
During the 2010 Soccer World Cup period
Sports Coalition of Zimbabwe (SCOZ) in partnership with Operation Mobilisation
Zimbabwe engaged pastors and their congregations to envision them on the use of
sport ministry as an outreach tool to
evangelise and disciple communities.
Amazing huge testimonies were born out of this
partnership and to date this partnership has grown into a more intentional effort
in that since 2011 for the coming five years OM and SCOZ have agreed to do levels
1 and 2 every April and August annually in-order to initially grow a well
discipled leadership base which will in turn facilitate sports ministry
movement in Zimbabwe. We have successfully done so in 2011 and this year and
have seen a total of 30 level 1 and 2 leaders trained to date
It has been an exciting learning
curve for us as the ministry facilitation team and even so for those who have
gone through the training since last year. It has been a challenge and shift
from the usual and traditional way of doing things. We testify to have grown and
to still being transformed as we partner with different churches and other
ministries for kingdom based discipleship with the Lord being our constant
encouragement.
Success areas:
- · We have seen various people support us in the training efforts, International Sports Coalition, Sports Outreach Africa, Sports for Christ South Africa, Zambia sports coalition, Operation Mobilisation, Hands Of Hope, Ambassadors in Sports, Youth for Christ, Gateway Christian College and various churches expressing interest to be envisioned and trained.
- · Level 1 and 2 trainings in Harare and Bulawayo and Banket

Our desire:
- · Set-up a sports hub in five cities in Zimbabwe by 2015 Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare, Masvingo and Gweru which will effectively facilitate sport ministry activities in these areas in and through the church
- · Partner with and train other ministries to achieve effective discipleship through sports ministries programmes
