2026 Summer Mission Trip: Zimbabwe
Hippo Valley Christian Mission
July 2026

Join us as we partner with Hippo Valley Christian Mission to go to marginalized areas of Zimbabwe to serve, love, and build relationships with these special communities. We hope you will prayerfully consider joining us in this important work as we share the hope and love of Jesus.

Trip Overview

Share hope with the people in marginalized areas of Zimbabwe.

Hippo Valley Christian Mission is one of the great mission stories in the history of the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. The mission was founded in 1956 by John and Marge Pemberton along with Dr. Dennis and Lucy Pruett.

​

The mission began with the simple philosophy of reaching the whole person for Christ; the body, mind and soul: The body through healthcare, the mind through education and the soul through the gospel message of Jesus and His church. 

 

Nearly 70 years later, those simple promises made, and kept, have resulted in thousands of lives changed for eternity!
