Rumbidzai is a Christian who believes in living out her faith in her day-to-day life. She runs a Christian Ministry which is interdenominational called Freedom Ministry International. Freedom is a kingdom-focused ministry designed to help you become truly free in Christ. It aims to help people identify the things that hinder one's growth and stop them from being free. 

Rumbi is also an author of two books, ‘Girl in the Mirror’ and ‘Planted.’ ‘Girl in the Mirror’ is an autobiographical book that explains her past trauma and hurt and how Jesus has helped and transformed her. ‘Planted’ is a book that aims to identify and uproot negative patterns and be replanted in the love of Christ.
