A word from our founder

“When we began this work, we saw villages without a witness, men in prison without hope, and families torn apart by addiction. We could not look away.”

Rev. Iwell Phiri · Co-Founder & President

Eastern Province, Zambia

Sinda is where the work is rooted.

Why we go

Too many lives remain unreached.

In Eastern Province more than eight in ten people live in rural villages, and most live in poverty. Alcohol and drugs are breaking families, Zambia’s prisons hold more than twice the people they were built for, and many villages still have no church — or no trained leader to shepherd one.

Transformation begins when people encounter Christ, grow as disciples and are equipped to transform the communities around them.
