If you did not already know, our Co - Pastor, Dr. Jeff Parker, was a missionary in Zimbabwe for many years. He served with his family and made numerous friends and connections. Pastor Jeff does not easily forget his life in Zimbabwe nor his Zimbabwe family and friends and as such when he came to Southside he wanted to make a continue this relationship with our Zimbabwean family. In 2016 our partnership resulted in Rev. Midian Chitsere, a pastor and leader in Zimbabwe, coming to the states. This event helped to secure our relationship for years to come.
