Happy May to you! I am so excited to update you on all the amazing things that have been happening over the last quarter!
HOPE KIDS BUILDING
We are so excited for the groundbreaking to begin the construction of the Hope Church Kids building in Mongu! Zambia is the 7th youngest nation of the world, with half of the population of Mongu being under the age of 14. Therefore, if we want to be a relevant church, reaching the next generation, we need a large kids church facility!
We are so excited about the future of this project and these amazing world-changers! If you would like to invest further in this project, click here, and choose "Hope Kids Building” from the dropdown.
Also, check out this awesome song and video that the Hope Church Kids made themselves!
HOPE FM
We are so excited that the fully Christian radio station, started by the amazing team in Mongu, is up and running! Hope FM reaches across Western Zambia, broadcasting so others may live. Its vision is to see "life-giving" churches within walking distance of every village in Western Zambia. This program reaches thousands across Western Zambia!
828 CHURCH TRIP
We are so excited for the 10+ people from the 828 Church community and family that will be going to Southern Africa is late July. We hosted our first meeting on 10 April to train everyone on fundraising efforts, and generally prepare their hearts for what is to come!
As our plans continue to form, please pray that we will be able to do the things that God calls us to do, and for the individuals who are fundraising for their trips now! You can give towards this team at 828church.com/africa!
ARC CONFERENCE
We had the amazing opportunity to join the 828 Church staff team at the 2022 ARC Conference in Charleston, SC! ARC is the Association of Related Churches, and the conference was the perfect opportunity to be encouraged by some of the greatest preachers and pastors in the world, and gain new ideas to bring back, not only for 828, but also for my role with The Zambia Project!
SCOTLAND
Caleb and I were able to adventure around Scotland with our amazing friends (and incredibly generous donors), Sara & Devin, for a much needed vacation and Sabbath! After a rocky start with missing a flight, we finally made it to Inverness and traveled to Isle of Skye after a quick stop at Loch Ness. (We didn’t see Nessie, but we did see suspicious bubbles, so that is like the same thing, right?) After that, we took a day trip through Fort William, on our way to the cutest bed & breakfast in Callander. We then spend the last few days in one of my favorite cities in the world, Edinburgh, and got to experience the amazing history and vibrancy of this place! It was truly an incredible time meeting the kindest people, eating delicious food (including haggis- google it!), and experiencing the amazing culture of a beautiful country!
MOTHER’S DAY + HOPE ART
Mother’s Day is just a few days away! Please feel free to reach out if you would be interested in purchasing handmade jewelry, bags, and so much more to show your mom and motherly figures how much you care! Every piece directly impacts and supports impoverished women and orphans in Western Zambia!
FUNDRAISING
As always, thank you so much for your support of this crazy adventure! I am working hard to increase my fundraising for my monthly budget goal each month, so lots of prayer would be appreciated! The Lord has been so good and provided in other ways, but I hope to be able to depend fully on this income in 2022. You may also click HERE if you would like to be a part! You can also fill out the form below if you would be interested in receiving something in the mail to learn more!
