K-12 CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS
AMAZON CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
FILABUSI, Zimbabwe — No, Amazon Christian Academy has nothing to do with the online retail giant. But the Christian school has delivered sadza (a thick, cornmeal porridge that’s a dietary staple in Zimbabwe) and faith-based education to more than 200 students since it opened in February.

More than 40 members of Churches of Christ in Alabama, Tennessee, Texas and Kentucky have traveled to the school in this southern African country to work with the new school, directed by principal Progress Ncube and vice principal Vusa Ncube.
Mars Hill Bible School in Florence, Ala., donated supplies to the school, including desks, chairs and basketball uniforms.
The school is supported by Partners4Africa, a ministry launched by Dorian Flynn, a native of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and his wife, Cheri, 13 years ago. The ministry digs water wells, feeds children, ships medical supplies and supports church-planting efforts across southern Africa.
