Barry and Louise Adkins both felt a call to be missionaries for many years. Through the Akers and their passion for the amaZioni, they began to feel the pull to ZEMA.

They joined ZEMA in 2005 and have no doubt that they are doing exactly what they were made to do.

They are currently working to build relationships with the amaZioni in Port Elizabeth. They run a ZEBS and are involved with mentoring and discipleship groups as well as forging inroads to the Zionist churches in the informal settlements where they are currently concentrating their efforts.

With so many amaZioni wanting to be taught the Bible, the opportunities are overwhelming. They have seen God working in the lives of the amaZioni and believe that He has great plans for the future.
