Motivated by the love of Christ to provide educational, physical, and spiritual care to orphaned and vulnerable children in Zambia.
Serving in Ndola, Zambia for 24 years.
In 2001 Oak Pointe Church in Novi, Michigan sent its first missionary team to Zambia. By 2003, responding to God’s leading, a small orphanage in Ndola, Zambia began operation in partnership with Cru-Zambia. This God-given desire was a result of knowing Christ’s love and passion for all children, especially those without parents (James 1:27). . .
Living Hope Christian Academy
Empowered by Grace, Instructed by Truth
On February 12, 2024, Living Hope International Zambia Christian Academy opened its doors. Orphaned and vulnerable children from the surrounding community can attend and receive excellent, Christ-centered education, as well as 2 meals each day.
Children
Living Hope International provides full time care for orphaned and vulnerable children.
These children receive housing, food, clothing, education, and spiritual mentorship. Our children live in smaller homes on our campus with houseparents who look after their physical, spiritual, and emotional wellbeing. We also partner with Social Welfare to provide temporary emergency shelter to the most vulnerable in our community.
Campus
We have built a campus to serve the surrounding community on all 40 acres. Currently, our campus features permanent children’s housing, sporting facilities, a worship center, a K-12 school, a dining hall, housing for our staff, and a farm.
As we grow, we desire to use our campus to partner with our community and provide for physical needs while pointing those around us to the hope of Christ.
Coffee
Living Hope partners with Gobena Coffee to provide a premium, single-source arabica coffee grown on our farm outside Ndola, Zambia.
Ndola sits at an altitude of 4265 feet and is 13° below the equator. It is in a prime location to grow great coffee. Our farm is part of our campus and the proceeds from our coffee sales provide love, life, education, and opportunity to children who have little hope.
