Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa (ZEMA's) ministry is to share life's journey with the amaZioni people of Southern Africa. Whether sharing God's Word through Bible schools or the realities of daily life, our mission is to empower amaZioni, encourage the African Church and grow the body of Christ.
Together, this multi-cultural ministry seeks to obey God's Great Commission by building on our common understanding of the Zionist's religious heritage. ZEMA missionaries enjoy a wide-open door to interact meaningfully with church members of African Indigenous Churches. Finding common ground with these traditional African churches is natural, and presents a welcome task of encouraging Africans to see in God's Word what it is to become one body in Christ.
Challenging all to hold loosely to our ethnic cultures, and tightly to our Biblical culture, missionaries and Africans alike, are challenged to evaluate religious traditions and find a relationship with God, and one another, through our common belief in Jesus.
