Former orphan turned pastor sees his Zimbabwean community embrace adoption as ‘pure religion’

“My mother died when I was 3 months old. My father died when I was 9 years old. I grew up not having both parents to look up to, but I was cared for by people who came into my life and made a huge difference by bringing me up. I continued to look up to them. I began to see the love of God in them. I saw how much they loved me -- even though I messed up -- there were a lot of things I was struggling with in my life. But I saw Jesus in them … to me, that was pure religion because they demonstrated what the gospel is all about.” Hear this powerful testimony from Pastor Rephat Nyarenda in Zimbabwe who shares how the love of Jesus transformed his life and continues to impact orphaned and vulnerable children in his community through adoption. Pure Religion Project is a focused initiative inspired by the members of the Christian Alliance for Orphans and the broader CAFO community, designed to help churches live out their calling to care for vulnerable children and families while growing closer to Jesus as His disciples.  You can learn more at PureReligionProject.org.
