My next guest is Thomas Hodzi, who along with his sister, Ruth are the driving force behind Christ of First Importance Ministries. Thomas and his family are dedicated to strengthening churches, planting churches, and caring for vulnerable children in Zimbabwe, his home country. I was struck by Thomas’ patient approach to training pastors and building infrastructure to faithfully fortify God-honoring churches in Zimbabwe, especially the more remote villages. Thomas’ care for the people of Zimbabwe is deep and sincere, and the testimony of faith that God is writing in his life was a great encouragement to me!

One note: this episode is not broken up, since most podcast players allow you to pause and restart where you left off. Hopefully the episode length isn’t too intimidating–AND hopefully it still listens well at faster playback speeds!

Alright, onto the conversation. Thanks for listening!
