Jorum and Evah Mugari

Picture

Serving in Zimbabwe

Greetings from Zimbabwe, Africa. May I take this time to introduce our family. My name is Jorum Mugari. I am an Alumni of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. I am married to Evah Mugari and our children are Roseanne Mugari (16) and Adrian Mugari (14). In 2007, we travelled to America to study theology with a vision to return to Zimbabwe to empower church leaders who otherwise lead church without any form of training. Our study journey took us from America to Northern Ireland, then back home to Zimbabwe in 2016.
Upon our return, I joined my former college, the Theological College of Zimbabwe as its Biblical Studies lecturer and have been teaching there ever since. I have recently this year taken on a role at the CURE hospital ministry to children, as the hospital’s Spiritual Director. Evah teaches at the Theological College of Zimbabwe under the Women's ministry. She is also studying Biblical Counseling to help the church in Bulawayo and the college. Our children Roseanne and Adrian Mugari go to a local school next to the college. Roseanne finishes upper 6 educational level and will be looking for a university position at the end of 2021. Apart from lecturing, I am also an elder at the City Presbyterian church, your “sister church” in Zimbabwe. This means that I have regular preaching and leading responsibilities there. Recently our church embarked on a new church plant called Living Hope Church and I was seconded by the Session to be its senior elder. 
In addition to formal lecturing at the college, I run a free weekend teaching program for pastors with no formal education and theological training. These are church leaders who are not able to either afford formal training or do not have the initial educational entry qualifications to be accepted at the college. However, the same church leaders are leading churches without any training. Since I have had the privilege to train at Gordon Conwell, I am able to offer them enough theological training for them to continue leading their churches whilst training with us on weekends. 
We praise God for these opportunities to serve Him in Zimbabwe. We are therefore thankful for your prayers and financial support for City Pres. in Bulawayo.

Prayer Requests:
