ZIMBABWE MISSION
Ms. Shirley Rose has centered her life on helping others. She traveled on her first mission trip in 1990 and hasn't stopped since. Even if she is not in Zimbabwe, Africa, or building a church in Jamaica, her mind is on the villagers and her spirit is determined to provide for them.
Since her first visit to treat the children of Zimbabwe and those suffering from AIDS, Ms. Rose has done all she can to find a better way of life for those who desperately need it. While there she paints churches, repairs buildings and roofs and finds supplies for the villagers.


Dorothy Mutambara

At home in Acworth, her work continues. She raises money through yard sales, church suppers and fund raisers for a roof for the HopeCenter she, along with other missionaries, begain building in June in Zimbabwe. She also gathers clothes, powdered milk, peanut butter and anything else the children may need to send in large boxes she packs and ships directly to Zimbabwe.
The children give Ms. Rose a reason to continue working for them.

" The last breath I draw, I'll still be working for the children"

Please contact theShirley Rose if you can help in this ministry.

ZIMBABWE AND THE TRUCK: from Shirley Rose

Many thanks to the family in our church who donated a truck for the Nyika Mutambara Hope Center in Zimbabwe. Thanks, also, to those who donated transportation costs and custom fees to release the Truck across the border. Praise the Lord – the Truck has arrived. This truck is hope for the people of the village who will no longer have to haul everything by ox-drawn cart. Dorothy and the entire village are celebrating and sending their love and thanks at a time when life is such a struggle for them. Most of you know that our mission trip to Zimbabwe was cancelled due to the difficult circumstances there. Hopefully, Dorothy, will be coming to our Church in October to share the continuing ministry of the Hope Center
