ABOUT:
Mashoko Christian Hospital Medical Ministry is a non-profit mission hospital located at Mashoko Mission in the Bikita District of Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. Founded in 1958 with roots dating back to missionary efforts in the 1930s and 1950s, the hospital exists to Preach, Teach, and Heal. It provides medical consultations and treatment—primarily free of charge—while intentionally integrating evangelism into daily operations through regular Gospel preaching for patients and staff. Alongside medical care, Mashoko has maintained a strong commitment to education through its School of Nursing, continuing its legacy of training healthcare professionals for service and ministry.
Established through the work of New Zealand Church of Christ missionaries and later American missionaries, including the Pembertons and Dr. Pruett, the hospital was founded on the vision of medical evangelism—demonstrating Christ’s love through compassionate, hands-on care. Leadership of the ministry has passed faithfully from Dr. Pruett to David and Eva Grubbs, then to Zindoga and Dinah Bungu, with plans for future leadership under Suspicion Mudzanire, a pastor, academic, and current Senior Chaplain and Director of Administration. Mashoko’s vision remains steadfast: to offer excellent healthcare in a way that reflects Jesus’ compassion, brings hope, and leads others to glorify God through both word and deed.
