Teaching Students to Dream BIG!

Teaching Students to Dream BIG!

Have you ever thought about the impact of allowing a child to dream big? God gave us our imaginations to use for great purposes in growing His kingdom. Dreaming big takes courage, especially for children living in extreme poverty. They are constantly surrounded by voices that tell them they cannot achieve their goals. They are discouraged from going to school by their own families and are taught to survive, not thrive.

My name is Jill. I was first introduced to African Vision of Hope 17 years ago, started volunteering and took my first Mission Trip to Zambia in 2008. I am now a part of the global African Vision of Hope team and I am so thankful to be the hands and feet of Jesus to these vulnerable children and families. It is my passion to bring their stories to light and partner with you to break the cycle of extreme poverty.

Not only are their physical abilities restored, but the forgiveness of sins is granted. Jesus knew true healing goes beyond the physical. An African Vision of Hope student named Arthur has experienced the touch of Christ.

A Mother’s Dream

“I am really suffering. I don’t want this to happen to my children.”

 

Childhood, for many of us, are days we think back on with fondness. For the orphans and vulnerable children living in extreme poverty, childhood equates to burdens much too heavy for them to bear.

From Orphaned to Comforted

From Orphaned to Comforted

Samuel’s life and testimony displays the very heartbeat and vision of African Vision of Hope, “So every Zambian child may be released from extreme poverty to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.” Samuel grew up as a child living in extreme poverty. Both of his parents died from AIDS and Samuel was living with his grandmother. Upon his arrival at African Vision of Hope school, Zambia was in the grips of a record breaking drought. Samuel’s grandmother, the sole provider for the family, could not afford to buy enough food each day; the situation was critical.
