Zimpeto Bible School

Beholding and Becoming

We had a wonderful term at the Iris Zimpeto Bible School, with many evangelistic events that hosted many visitors and teachers from many different places worldwide. 

We want to highlight two of the evangelistic events from the last term.

Below are two highlights from this term at the Zimpeto Bible School:

This school is 40% female; a huge step forward in a country where women are undervalued.

We teach that Jesus is our example of a leader. Jesus came to serve, not to be served. So our students happily and with joy help clean the church and dining area, help out in the kitchen and with general duties around the base.

This is a new model for many of our students. They adapt well. We are blessed to share with them the FULL ministry of Jesus.

A testimony of the grace of God:

The challenging task of taking over the leadership of the bible school after Pastor Eduardo went to be with the Lord was at hand. It was not an easy task, but God kept encouraging us and blessing all of us as a team.

We were able to manage the little resources we had in order to satisfy the needs; it was challenging due to a lack of teachers. Some of us had to stretch to fill in the gaps, and all teachers were supportive.

In July 2014, after a very short illness and at great shock to all, Pastor Eduardo (the founding pastor of the Zimpeto Bible School) passed away quite suddenly. He is survived by his wife Angelica and 5 children.

Eduardo was the pastor of a thriving church in the community, as well as being greatly loved in the bible school on the Zimpeto base. He will be deeply missed.
