Church Relations

In November, I traveled to Kenya and Ethiopia and had the honor of meeting Tariku, a child that I sponsor with several members of my church. It was a marking experience to talk with Tariku and hear about how World Vision has helped his entire community.

If you are a church pastor, I would like to invite you to travel to Africa with me and other pastors.

You will learn from and worship with African church leaders, see how community members are uniting to provide care for orphans and widows, and connect with local pastors to learn how your congregation can be a part of this hope that helps children like Tariku.

As church leaders, we can help turn the tide on HIV and AIDS. Won't you join me?

Visit our website for more information about Pastor's Vision Trips or to download a trip application. And please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
