"In 2011, after more than two years of “encouragement” from my daughter, I traveled to Lusaka, Zambia for my first time.  I went to work with orphan and vulnerable children through a ministry called Family Legacy Missions International.  I was there for Camp Life, which is a week long opportunity to work with children who are desperately poor and in great need of someone that cares about them.  

My heart was broken in ways I never imagined, yet the thrill of spending time with children so hungry for attention, love, and care forever changed my life.  I came home committed to returning again and to raise funds needed to build an orphan home.  Over the course of the next 10 months Lee and I raised the $80,000 needed for the home, and another $20,000 for furnishings and items needed to make the house operational. 

In February 2013, Lee and I travelled to Zambia for the opening of Promise House, which became home for 12 children and the start of a new chapter in their lives with promise, hope, joy, and love!  Lee and I have travelled to Zambia nearly every year since 2011 (except 2020 due to Covid-19) and are planning to go this June, which will be my tenth time in Zambia. 

Over the years we have established amazing relationships with a great number of children and the hope, joy, and love we’ve been able to share with them is only out-weighed by the impact these children have had on our everyday lives! 

We are so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to go and see, be changed, and to share with others the amazing blessing God has given to us as we serve children in desperation, who now have a place to live, hope for the future, and a reason to rejoice!"
