Missions Part 2: What does it mean to get up and "GO"?
Simon’s Branch is an Atlanta-based nonprofit Christian group that annually travels to South Africa and a number of other countries to share the Good News of Christ. Dr. Shirley Fitz-Ritson, executive director; Rodney Smith, board chair; Tammy Phillips, training director; and, Phyllis Smith, community developer, joined Emunah to discuss missions work and explain the wide-ranging efforts of their organization.
Women of the Word posted an article about the group’s last trip to South Africa on September, 4, 2023. The group traveled last year, four years after COVID-19 forced a world-wide shutdown. Check it out:

Simon’s Branch is named for the black man who helped Jesus carry his cross to Golgotha during 1st Century Judaea. Simon lived in Cyrene, a place in modern-day Libya on the northern tip of Africa and had come to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover when he was forced into service.
Established in 2005 in Stone Mountain, Georgia, Simon’s Branch has had more than 600 people join them on the mission fields over the years. Last year, 14 determined U.S. Christians headed for Durban, South Africa to revive and solidify earlier effort to spread the Good News about Jesus Christ.
