Morissa, from small town Lexington, NE, met Mackenzie at the local farmers market and went on to have a Bible study with her along with some other women in town. She is the president of the Made in Matobo board! Morissa is a homeschooling momma who enjoys having friends and family gather in her home for meals, traveling with her husband and two kids, and being outdoors. She has always had a heart for missions and a desire to support people who bring God’s truth to those who haven’t heard it.

Chrissy grew up in Zeeland, MI and met the Kuhudzayi’s as a fellow Calvin student. Graduating with an English degree and business minor, she serves as the Secretary of Made in Matobo. Chrissy has a knack for details while keeping the big picture in mind, and we are thankful for her role in the mission. She has become an avid hiker and calls the Great Lakes region home, in between national parks visits and quaint airBnB stays.

Kristin lives in West Michigan with her husband and their two college boys. Mackenzie and Brierly are family, and watching them grow their mission and their own family has been a joy to her. Spending time in nature is Kristin’s biggest hobby with favorites being hiking and hunting. She is always up for travel near and far and exploring other cultures. Her work experience is in accounting and she has been at the same trucking company for 22 years, and serves Made in Matobo as the board treasurer. Welcome Kristin!

Brierly grew up a city boy in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. He has since spread his wings and found the beauty of rural areas. He met his wife Mackenzie at Calvin, while he studied Business Operations and International Development. He then worked in the beef industry in central Nebraska while earning a MAS in Community Development. Brierly has a heart for walking alongside young adults, brings vision to the team, and loves being a #girldad.

Mackenzie hails from Middleville, MI, studied Public Health, Spanish, and International Development at Calvin College (now Calvin University), and is the founder of Made in Matobo Society. She enjoys pushing Made in Matobo projects forward, exploring with her family, time in the kitchen, and homeschooling. Zimbabwe has been home to her family since January 2018.
