Meet Masango: Bringing Servant Leadership to Many Needs in Zimbabwe
Masango Matimura, a 2006 graduate of Daystar University, is now serving as Executive Director of Holistic Peace and Development Zimbabwe (HPDZ). Masango recently visited the Daystar U.S. offices and shared more of his story and the appreciation he has for Daystar University and the opportunity he received as a Daystar University scholarship student.
Masango shared, “As an alumnus of Daystar University, Kenya, I take pleasure in connecting with Daystar U.S. My pursuit of university education was incomplete without the role Daystar U.S. played. I got financially stuck with the possibility for being sent back to Zimbabwe together with my wife Patience and daughter Munashe. When my name was eventually included on the Daystar U.S. sponsored list, I felt like a huge mountain was rolled away from my shoulders and heart. I studied a double major BA in Community Development/ Biblical and Religious Studies. My aim was to seek an understanding of the causes and cures for poverty. I promote Biblical holistic thinking, reconciliation, governance, and economic development in Zimbabwe. I learned the value of service."
How can you pray for Masango and his family?
Please pray for my wife Patience and her entrepreneurship training with the US Embassy (Academy for Women Entrepreneurship)
Please pray for me to find rest amidst the very busy schedule he leads. To find a healthy balance of professional work and family.
Pray for wisdom in choosing, planning and implementing development and entrepreneurial ideas as proposed.
Pray for wisdom as I take steps concerning my future relationship with my denomination
Please pray for our girls as they go to school to learn and grow according to His Grace.
