Run, Dance & Heal From Drugs!

Are you struggling with addiction? Do you feel helpless watching someone you love slip away? Are you tired of seeing drugs destroy our youth and communities?

You are not alone. And you don’t have to fight this battle by yourself.

This Saturday, 30 August 2025, the Martin Luther Church is throwing open its doors and streets for a Drug Abuse Awareness Campaign—and you’re invited!

Why You Should Come

This isn’t just another talk shop. It’s a day to move, breathe, laugh, and heal.

✅ Awareness & Real Talk – Hear the truth about drugs, how they trap us, and how we can break free.
✅ Safe Space—a judgment-free zone where you and your loved ones can seek help and encouragement.
✅ Intervention & Support – counseling, guidance, and faith-inspired hope to restore lives.
✅ Fun & Energy – join the Community Run and Zumba Party, because a healthy lifestyle is the best rebellion against drugs!

What the Pastor Says

Dr. Rev. A. Siwela Jr., Pastor in Charge, puts it simply:

“Our bodies are temples of Christ. We are here to care for them, love our neighbors, fight for freedom, and build a community of accountability and encouragement. Drug abuse is not the end of your story—it can be the beginning of a turnaround.”

Why Now?

Zimbabwe is hurting. From mutoriro (crystal meth) to dangerous cough syrups, drugs are tearing families apart. Too many young dreams are being buried. But together, we can change the story.

This campaign is more than an event—it’s a movement for a drug-free Zimbabwe.
