On the coffee plantation, we brought immense gains to local coffee production with a washing station, new plants, and improved growing techniques.

In the community we brought clean water, electricity, sanitation systems, improved the roads, built bridges, and repaired buildings.

For the local church we provided pastoral leadership training and mentoring for the students. Most importantly, we had the opportunity to build relationships that opened doors for sharing our lives and faith. The hope of Jesus Christ has been firmly planted and so many lives have been eternally transformed by the truth and grace of the Gospel

For Cyimbili, the tragedy and pain of the past – while never forgotten – has softened by the reality of a better present and the prospect of an even brighter future both physically and spiritually.

We have many to thank for their partnership and support over those years. But perhaps the best reward for all of us is seeing the vision of this movement now refocused on another community with similar needs. The knowledge gained and the relationships forged over the course of our time in Cyimbili are now seeds for a new God-orchestrated work of transformation in Shanga.
