ZOE will sponsor a unique opportunity to help care for orphans in Zimbabwe through your Vacation Bible School! In partnership with the MERCI Center and UM Schools in Zimbabwe, school kits will be shipped for distribution to orphans and vulnerable children. This year we are excited to offer a free curriculum about the ZOE Student Kit Mission Project. Download ZOE VBS Mission Project Curriculum for your use and contact us for the accompanying video. We will be happy to mail a copy for your use. Contact information - beth@zoeministry.org or call Beth Jenks @ 919-550-0275.

Items for the schools kits are listed below. We will ask each kit to contain a five dollar donation. All of the money received above the shipping costs will be used to provide school fees, uniforms and to meet other critical needs of orphans and vulnerable children. This will also give many children access to the feeding programs offered at some of the schools.

Please visit this story on our web page. This article details the huge numbers of orphans unable to attend school because of a lack of resources. This vision, initiated by Mike Ward, has the potential to touch the lives hundreds of children in the name of Jesus Christ!

We ask that all churches participating register online.

The school kits can be packaged in large zip lock bags or in small Tupperware type containers. On the outside of each kit indicate to which age group the package is to be given.

Please pack kits in boxes that can easily be hand lifted for delivery to MERCI Center.

Thank you for partnering with ZOE in our first major project!
