Our Mission
To reach the lost sheep of the house of Israel and people from the nations with the Good News of Messiah Yeshua, in obedience to Scripture.
Romans 1:16
Who we are
Faith rooted in Scripture. Love lived in action.
Zambia Messianic Fellowship is a Yeshua-centred, Torah-observant faith community where Jewish and non-Jewish believers worship together, grow in Scripture and serve people across Zambia.
Our identity
A Messianic fellowship serving Zambia for more than 18 years.
ZMF describes itself as a faith-based non-profit movement and the oldest Messianic congregation in Zambia, with branches in different parts of the country.
Our fellowship brings Jew and Gentile together in a distinctly Messianic Jewish space. Worship combines Jewish liturgy with contemporary praise, while teaching draws from both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures.
That same faith extends beyond weekly worship into child care, education, radio teaching, congregation development and practical service to communities.
One fellowship, many expressions of service
Worship, discipleship, education, care and outreach form one connected ministry.
Why we exist
Our mission and vision.
The heart of ZMF is to share the Good News of Messiah Yeshua, make disciples and live out love for God and neighbor through faithful service.
Our Vision
To love God, love our neighbor, share the Good News of Messiah Yeshua and make disciples—to the Jew first and also to the nations—while being a people marked by zeal and good works for the Kingdom.
