Mission Trips

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” –Isaiah 6:8

A Mission Team at Antelope Park

Are you looking for the trip of a lifetime where you can serve, be inspired by encounters with God’s creation, and make friendships that will span oceans and continents? Then you are ready for a Mission Trip with Noah’s FARM!

Since 2016 Noah’s FARM has organized Mission Trips to Zimbabwe to serve alongside local Nazarene church members in and near Gweru in the Midlands District. These two-week trips, scheduled during the heat of the North American summer, let us experience the mild temperatures of Central Zimbabwe’s dry season.

Our team stays at beautiful Antelope Park, a property that is a vacation destination within Zimbabwe and is engaged in wildlife conservation and community development. As you fall asleep in your simple but lovely lodging, you will even hear lions in the Antelope Park conservation program roaring at night!

Daily Ministry Activities

During the day our local hosts will help us travel to various project sites, introduce us to local foods, and work and worship alongside us. Our projects welcome all types of talents, skills, and interests…from installing a well to building benches to sewing blankets at the maternity clinic to painting walls to rural health education and discipleship classes.

Worshiping on Sunday at the Woodlands Church with Les Thomsen, founder of Noah’s FARM as he shares the Good News with the assistance of an interpreter.

Serving at Mkoba Polyclinic where 80 babies are delivered monthly with running water only on Wednesday. The 2025 mission team worked alongside locals to drill a borehole (water well), dig ditches to connect pipes from well to water tower and installed solar power to provide electricity to generate water 24/7 to the maternity clinic.

Visiting some of the Nazarene churches that were built with donations to Noah’s FARM. Getting to know the lovely people of the Midlands District. Ladies of the church made us donuts and samosas over a fire. Delicious!

Tourist Activities

Our Zimbabwean hosts are proud of the beauty of their country, so you won’t miss out on those highlights either. Our trip will conclude with a visit to Victoria Falls and a lovely spot for a worship service together. We’ll also enjoy a safari by both boat and jeep to view wildlife that cannot be seen in the wild on any other continent. It’s a trip you’ll never forget, and friends that will stay in your heart forever!

Cost of the 14-day trip, all-inclusive, is $5000 plus a $1000 donation to Noah’s FARM (per person) for project supplies used during the trip. For more information on how to join us, please email: Les@NoahsFARM.org.
