In Zimbabwe, an incredible door has opened—one that leads not to confinement, but to freedom in Christ. Through CFCI’s Abundant Life program, inmates are engaging with the gospel in powerful ways, even marking Bibles to be used in future boot camps.

“To hear an inmate sentenced for murder confess that he is forgiven in Christ—this has been one of the most powerful moments I have witnessed,” shares Mubaiwa Mangwende, CFCI Zimbabwe’s base director.

Since the program began, 20 inmates have made decisions to follow Christ, discovering their true identity in Him. Each participant receives their own Bible, a cherished guide for their spiritual journey. The transformation taking place is undeniable.

“Seeing prisoners, once without hope, now embracing the gospel fills my heart with unspeakable joy,” Mubaiwa says.

These marked Bibles are now being used in rural and urban communities—and even reaching Kenya and Zambia. With plans to impact over 4,000 inmates, the ministry needs continued prayer and support, especially for transportation to reach more prisons and remote villages.

Yet, as the ministry expands, so do the challenges. One pressing need is reliable transportation for teams traveling to prisons and remote areas. Many roads require a high-clearance vehicle—something they currently lack. But with faith and perseverance, they continue pressing forward, trusting in God’s provision.

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few,” Mubaiwa says. “God has opened a great door—let’s walk through it together.”
