South Bay Mission Trip 2026 Zambia, Africa

hope is a gift away…

During our time in the remote villages of Zambia, we saw how vital clean water is to daily life. Children walk miles for it, women spend hours collecting it, and families often rely on unsafe sources that bring illness. Clean water is truly a lifeline—impacting health, education, and opportunity. But we also saw another great need: a place of worship. In these villages, where faith is strong, there is no church building to gather, grow, and be encouraged together. Just as water sustains the body, a church sustains the soul. This mission is about more than meeting physical needs—it’s about bringing both clean water and a house of worship to strengthen the heart of the community.

OUR MISSION &

Our Purpose

Zambia 2025: Bringing Hope, Healing, and the Gospel to the Heart of Africa

At Prints of Hope International, we believe that every step taken in service reflects the footsteps of Jesus. In 2026, we’re heading to Zambia—and we’re inviting you to be part of something bigger than yourself. This mission is more than a trip. It’s a call to live out your faith, to serve the overlooked, and to be the hands and feet of Christ in a land where the need is great, but the harvest is ripe.


A Nation Reached Through Evangelism

We’re launching a bold evangelism campaign to bring the Gospel to remote villages and unreached communities throughout Zambia. From open-air crusades to one-on-one prayer, your voice will help proclaim the Good News to those hungry for truth. You’ll witness lives transformed, hearts ignited, and entire communities drawn closer to the heart of God.


Dress a Child & VBS: Clothing Children with Dignity and Joy

Through our Dress a Child/VBS program, we will clothe hundreds of children with brand-new outfits and shoes—often the first they’ve ever received. But it’s more than material provision; it’s an expression of God’s love. Every child will also be part of a joyful, Christ-centered VBS experience, learning that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved by their Heavenly Father.


Building the Church: A Place to Worship, Grow, and Belong

In a rural Zambian village, we’ll construct a new church—a permanent gathering place for worship, discipleship, and community. This building will stand as a beacon of hope and a place of refuge, long after our team returns home. By laying bricks, you’ll also lay the spiritual foundation for generations of believers to come.


Water for Life: Drilling a Well, Offering Hope

Access to clean water remains one of Zambia’s greatest needs. We will drill a water well in a community where families currently rely on unsafe and distant water sources. This well will provide safe drinking water, prevent disease, and most importantly, become a living testament to the kindness and provision of God.


Healing in His Name: Medical & Dental Clinics in Remote Areas

Many Zambians live far from the nearest medical care. Our team of volunteers will host mobile medical and dental clinics, bringing vital care, pain relief, and health education to villages that have gone without for too long. Every treatment will be offered with compassion, prayer, and the Gospel—bringing not just healing for the body, but hope for the soul.


A Journey That Will Change You, Too

Serving in another country strips away distractions and invites you to see the world—and your faith—through a new lens. You’ll experience the beauty of Zambian culture, the strength of its people, and the joy of giving without expecting anything in return. Most of all, you’ll see God move in ways that stretch your heart, deepen your compassion, and awaken your calling.

This is your opportunity to bring practical help, eternal hope, and Christ’s love to those who need it most.


Will You Join Us?

Come build, clothe, heal, preach, and serve.
Come leave your print of hope on the lives of others—and let God leave His mark on yours.
