Profile

Our focus is the Village of Hope in Harare, Zimbabwe. Because of our life experiences, God has given us both a passion for orphans. To see them given hope, love and security so they too, like us, can dare to dream of a vocation and a calling. 'Not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit', we know that this vision can happen for the impoverished, the sick, the orphaned children of Zimbabwe. With love and Christ-centred discipling, the "least of these" can be come great! (Zec. 4:6 / Luke 9:48)

This Village of Hope is one of three in southern Africa. On the edge of Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe, a 20 acre campus exists. In 2007, God granted us favour with the government and orphanage registration, and registration of a primary school (Cornelius Hope Academy Primary School) became reality! Today the Village of Hope impacts about 400 children daily because of feeding programs, a primary school and orphan homes. But the dream for this property isn't finished yet!

Grow with us!

Since our first arrival in Zimbabwe in September 2005, we have come to realize the amount of people it takes to see this vision become reality, both here in Zimbabwe and in Canada! We are so very thankful for each one as you as you pray, or consider support of us as missionaries, or the Village of Hope directly. May it come back to you "pressed down, shaken together and running over" (Luke 6:38). You ARE making a difference!
