Nigeria 2014

  By Missions

Nigeria 2014

George Lockhart and Vision 2 Hear have had a long standing relationship with Nigeria. Since 2001, George has been traveling to Nigeria helping dig 9 water wells (plus two in Benin) in that time. He has been in partnership with WorldCare Ministries of Kings Mountain, NC from the beginning.

Dr. Moses Neuman, founder of WorldCare is from Nigeria himself and still has much of his family residing there. Working in conjunction with Dr. Neuman, WorldCare, and others, George has been able to assist in seeing many things happen over the last decade.

This trip is the first in over 4 years and George is returning to catch up on the latest work that has been accomplished in his absence. For years, George and his various team members would mix concrete, carry blocks and shovel dirt in helping to build a school. That school has now been completed and is being used on a daily basis! We praise god for his faithfulness through the years to see this task and building completed. George is going back to be part of celebratory exercises and share in the school for a few days.

While in Nigeria, George will also be able to catch up with and visit several of the students/people that have been involved with Vision 2 Hear Africa. We have helped provide school funding for Festus Okwara and Prince Okerke, along with some assistance to Rosemary Kalu and Ikechukwu Okoronkwo. Festus and Prince have graduated recently and George will be able to join them for celebrations of their accomplishments.

We will also be taking some school supplies provided by Christ Fellowship Academy in Palmetto Bay, Florida. Students and Staff of CFA generously gave at the beginning of the school year to help provide supplies for students in our new school. We cannot thank Mrs. Blanco and Mrs. Cruz along with all the CFA Students enough for their kindness and support!

George will fly out on January 19 and return on January 31. Please keep him in your prayers and all of the team from WorldCare and Vision 2 Hear as they travel abroad to continue expanding God’s Kingdom.

Charity Water: Let It FLOW

  By Ministry, Missions, News

 

Last Winter we started collecting change as part of our Change For A Change Campaign. We are bringing that to a finish at our WAVE Conference this year and want to make one final big push to collect as much change as possible. With our theme for the conference being FLOW, we want to challenge all of our teams to collect as much change as possible for the next couple of weeks and bring it at the WAVE CONFERENCE. This will serve as your entrance fee. We will recognize the team with the most funds collected between now and then. So team leaders, rally your groups and LET IT FLOW!

El Salvador Nicaragua Trip October/November

  By Ministry, Missions, News, Travel

 

The summer had many highlights but nothing really compares to travel outside of the country for 3 weeks! Traditionally, V2H tries to make across cultural international trip each year. This summer, V2H traveled to El Salvador and spent 14 days and then another 6 days in Nicaragua. It was during this time that I began to realize some of the dreams and goals we had as an international ministry start really taking shape.

During my time in Nicaragua, we began talking about forming another WAVE team. We already have a vibrant and flourishing team in El Salvador and now the possibility of expansion was on the horizon once again! Wow! And could we possibly bring the ES team to be part of the expansion? Jorge Campos had actually been to this place once before, meeting some of the locals and introducing them to some of what we do. The initial seed and thought came from our friend Scott Kirschner who has made several visits to Nicaragua. With Scott’s help in arranging for this trip and working alongside Tony and Debbie Jones, founders of the camp we stayed at, Jorge and I were able to deepen the possibility by spending time laying some foundation and framework for the future. Now we are both looking to return with the ES team in October and November to launch our second “Spanish” team. The dates are a little flexible at this point as we are still working on details but it is certainly an exciting time in our ministry to be able to see two international expansions within 10 years! Praise God!

Please be in prayer as the US side needs to help generate funds to bring the ES team to Nicaragua in order to make this expansion complete.
