2025 Visit

This year, instead of leading an Impact Zambia Mission trip, I return to Africa on a more personal journey—one rooted in reflection, celebration, and connection. I’ve recently marked several personal and professional milestones, and this trip becomes a timely pause to discern what the future may hold. Being back home, walking familiar paths, and reconnecting with the people, wildlife, and landscapes that shape me offers a deep sense of grounding. I have the joy of showing friends “my Africa”—not just its beauty and wildlife, but its warmth, resilience, and spirit.

This isn’t just a visit; it’s a journey inward, a moment to realign with purpose. Amidst the celebrations, I find myself drawn again to the dreams that inspire the Impact Life Training Centre. Seeing Africa through new eyes reignites that vision. My hope is that, through this personal window into my home, you too will be moved—not only by its vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes, but also by the incredible potential we have to invest in its future.

Your support of the Impact Life Training Centre helps raise up young leaders who will carry Zambia and Africa forward. This is more than my story—it’s an open invitation to be part of something lasting.
