Our congregation, as well as some families in the church, have partnered with 26 groups of orphans in seven countries in Africa and India over the past 11 years. As a result, 1909 children have moved from extreme poverty to productive lives in their communities through the three year process. Our current active groups are in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique.
Our newest group is in Visag, India. Click here to see their picture and names. These children have just begun their journey out of poverty and updates on their progress will be provided as we receive it.“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11).
“Justice is what love looks like in public” (Cornell West).
Recently, ZOEEMPOWERS shared what groups in Tanzania and Visag, India, where our congregation partners with groups, are doing to bring love to their communites. After beginning their own journeys out of poverty, ZOE orphans are educating young girls to overcome the traditional stigmas about menstruation, planting trees, cleaning trash-filled streets, inviting the poor to their group meals. To be inspired by their acts of love and justice, click here. It is your support of ZOE that makes this possible
