Rephat Nyarenda
Zimbabwe Without Orphans

Rephat Nyarenda has been in pastoral ministry for the past 26 years, he is passionate to see orphans find loving and secure families. His advocacy for adoption and foster parenting has taken him across his country, engaging church leaders.

Pastor Ray, who has studied theology, strongly believes that only the church has the ultimate answer to the crisis of orphans and vulnerable children. His vision is to see the church equipped to properly care for orphans and vulnerable children, because it is the church’s mandate to do so.

Rephat is married to Mavis, and together they have 4 children and are foster parents to two.
