Agape-Missions-Nketa-Zimbabwe
After her mother died of AIDS, Prayer wanted to die, too. Agape Missions Nketa (Zimbabwe) provided a lifeline for Prayer and her great aunt (now caregiver), Priscilla, through their ministry. The church offered counseling support and alleviated the financial burden of school fees. “Above all,” Priscilla says of the church’s care, “I found love.”
