For the past few years, the Mt. Zion School of Ministry teams have been assisting Doctors for Life, which is a ministry that reaches out to those affected by the AIDS disease. The Mt. Zion team consists of interns and alumni who do the following:
- Assisting the terminally ill, by ministering love and helping to nurse them
- Teaching the orphans, whose parent(s) have died of the AIDS disease
- Teaching in local schools about Jesus
- Building relationships with the local people, which include tribal chiefs, and being a witness of Christ
- Ministering to the homeless and prostitutes in Durban
Testimonies:
"God is really meeting the need of the people here...People need medical attention so badly. After church on Sunday, when we were all ready to go back and eat lunch, many people from the community came to us for help. There was one need after another... The Holy Spirit gently opened my eyes of life in the ministry, and how Jesus and His disciples walked that walk every day - laying their lives down for others, putting others before themselves. God is doing a deep work in my heart. I am very thankful for every day, though it may be difficult at times; God is doing a work in and through me. I am glad to be here with the team in South Africa. The children at the orphanage are very godly. They are humble and obedient. They always are trying to help us. The other day I helped a boy pump water, and when I was done he told me to close my eyes. I did so, and he blessed me in prayer. This really touched my heart. God is moving here."

"The Lord is continuing to show me how much I need to rely on the Holy Spirit to be a witness for Him. Of myself I can do nothing of significance, but it is the Holy Spirit working in and through me that can truly bring life to others. Even before I left for South Africa the Lord showed me very strongly that I can do nothing without Him, that it is not about anything I can do, but about Him. He is causing me to be more and more reliant on Him through different situations every day. When I see I cannot do anything good in my own strength, I give it all over to God and ask Him to do what He wants."
- Intern Testimony
"We went to treat a man that had a wound on his leg. The wound was really bad - it was infected and very deep, but even greater was the desperation and need written on this man's face. This man had a big problem with alcohol and smoking. I was praying that he would be saved. As we were waiting for water to cool for the dressing change, Stephen told him the gospel message and after that the man and the whole family received Jesus as their Savior. Another time a woman came for medical help - after I did what I could for her - I witnessed to her about Jesus, and she also received Jesus as her Savior."
