Zambia Missions

Our Mission in Zambia

2 Corinthians: 9: 7, 12
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.

Partnership

Through the ministry of Shoulder 2 Shoulder, Prairie Ridge Church has formed a partnership with a church in Petauke, Zambia, to provide financial, food and agricultural support to Zambians. PRC members Rob and Ronda Wheeler established Shoulder 2 Shoulder with the intent of feeding hungry brothers and sisters in Christ. Soon, this led to a partnership with Pastor Moses Banda and the Simambwe Baptist Church.

Girded by prayer, our first commitment is to provide monthly financial support to buy food for the most vulnerable families in the church. We are currently working to explore agricultural support for subsistence farmers in our partner church and throughout the Petauke community.  Ag experts from PRC have generously offered expertise and time to this end.

By providing food we fill the immediate need and then begin the slow work of assisting farmers to improve their crops and build a sustainable future, feeding their families for the long term.

Stay tuned! More to come!

“The Iowa ministry partnership is such a blessing to me and my fellow pastors and the community.”
– Pastor Banda
