ZEM at 24: A Movement of Grace
From humble seeds in days gone by,
You lit a flame that touched the sky.
Through hills and towns, in every land,
God led us forth with guiding hand.
We thank You, Lord, for vision bright—
A beacon blazing through the night.

We’ve walked with youth, with hearts aflame,
And taught the power of Jesus’ name.
With teachers, parents, pastors too,
We’ve trained, equipped, and journeyed through.
From Bible truths to skills that last,
Your faithfulness has held us fast.

Through every camp and prayerful meet,
Each hymn-filled night and mission street,
From Jabbok cries to schoolyard calls,
Your Spirit moved within these walls.
Online and live, Your Word has flown—
Across the seas, Your truth is known.

We thank the team, both near and far,
Each burden bearer, shining star.
Supporters, friends, who gave and prayed,
Your love has built what God has made.
Together strong, we’ve stood as one—
A family forged by Christ the Son.

Yet still we dream, with eyes ahead,
Of homes restored and spirits fed.
Of leaders raised with hearts made whole,
Of nations stirred by Heaven’s goal.
We press toward that upward call—
To raise the excellent in all.

So come, dear friend, and take your place,
In this great move of truth and grace.
We’re not a name, nor just a plan—
We are a movement, God began.
Join hands with us, the time is now—
To serve, to build, to take the vow.
