As we love God and others he reveals a way for us to grow together. I have gotten to know the Mambures with COA, Pastor Thomas with TOLK, and other friends in Africa for over ten years now. More recently, I have had the opportunity to get to know Faith with Lily Kelly Ministries. I‘ve learned about each one of these ministry leaders' families and the calling in their hearts. I have also shared my hurts, heart, and life with them. Through this connection, we have learned to trust each other and explore creative ways to grow together.
Below we will post updates on how we are learning, working, and growing with our friends locally and in Africa.
We've known and loved Pastor Thomas for over ten years. He is wise, humble and a faithful presence in his community. His vision is to offer education to all students, teach truth and meet real needs across East Africa. He has worked with the government for almost twenty years to educate children and young adults with disabilities through a school called Wizara. Pastor Thomas and his wife Pamela started their own private school which has grown to educate over 300 children. Thomas also started an organization with a group of youth called TOLK (Touch One Life Kenya). This group focuses on meeting real needs in their community through education, medical attention, and survival measures such as providing clean water. Recently, Pastor Thomas and Restore SB started a garden together in his community which is providing meals for students and in the future, income to the families he serves with.
The Mambure's have been dear friends since 2008. In addition to serving as missionaries through Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU), they are the founders of Chenga Ose Association (COA). COA is a growing network of over 500 families with disabilities in ten provinces of Zimbabwe. Davis and Lucia meet caregivers where they are, share God's love with them, and discuss ways to empower them and their children. The Mambure's are also spreading the gospel by teaching with pastors and other leaders across Zimbabwe. There's a group of us who get together regularly via WhatsApp to encourage and support Davis and Lucia as they find ways to grow their ministry and influence. Currently, they are making a way for families to generate income and education through farming and agriculture. We are also discussing the possibility of sharing the Made book & Dirt to Use teaching together.
As we drove through our neighborhood, we kept noticing these simple yet powerful signs which read, 'Jesus Loves You'. At first, there were just a few, but soon we were seeing them everywhere! Where were these signs coming from? Who's heart was behind this beautiful gift to our community? Well, one day a friend of mine told me... Lily Kelly Ministries.
Once we discovered the heart and story behind the signs we couldn't wait to get closer to the ministry and to meet Faith (Lily's Kelly's mom). The Chapel Project Vision for Murrieta is profound and we are so blessed to know Faith and serve with the Lily Kelly Ministry family!
If you live in or near Murrieta, CA, and have stuff you don't want, we can use it to restore something beautiful! Proceeds to Lily Kelly Ministries.
