Changing Lives That Change The World.
Restoring the Kingdom, one life at a time.
Jesus told his followers to, “Seek first the Kingdom of God…” We define the Kingdom as “Life As God Meant it to be.” We evaluate primary needs, where life is not as God meant it to be. Through training, farming, schools, and medical care we empower people to live the Kingdom life God intended for them to live. These opportunities allow for people to know Jesus, be discipled, get educated, provide for their family, and be healthy.
Led by Zambians, we see lives being changed by creating opportunities to EQUIP followers of Jesus and EMPOWER communities.
What We Do
EQUIP
We know that God cares about all suffering and poverty, especially spiritual suffering and poverty. So, everything we do begins and extends through the church of Jesus Christ. We plant churches, educate pastors, and train disciples of Jesus to multiply.
EMPOWER
We desire to create sustainable opportunities for under-resourced communities to address the issues of poverty and food insecurity. Our primary areas are: Medical, Educational, and Farming.

FAQs
What does Charis in Action mean?
Charis is the Greek word for grace, God's undeserved favor that He provides for mankind. Charis in Action equips disciples of Jesus to both share and demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ. It is literally God's grace in action throughout the world.
Where are you serving?
We are currently serving in Zambia, Africa. Seventy percent of Sub-Saharan Africa is under the age of 30. Many of these young people are open to the Gospel of Jesus, and Christianity is growing in some African countries. With this growth there is a tremendous need for discipleship, leadership development, the training and development of Pastors and Christian leaders, and planting healthy churches.
Why Africa?
The CEO of Crown Ministries said by the end of this century, 2099, 50% of the world will be Africans. This is due to the decrease of population rates in other countries and the increase in birth rates and life expectancy in Africa. There are two great challenges to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ in Africa. One challenge is the synergistic blending of the Prosperity Gospel, African Traditional Religions, and Christianity that creates something other than Biblical Christianity. Another great challenge is the expansion and influence of Islam as it continues to move from the north to Africa’s south and from the east to west.
Where is Zambia?
Zambia is in the Southern part of Africa between two familiar African countries, Kenya and South Africa.
What do you mean by the Kingdom of God?
We define the Kingdom as “Life As God Meant it to be.” Life as it was in the Garden of Eden and Life as it will be someday in the New Heaven and New Earth. In the Garden and in the new heaven and earth there is no poverty, hunger, suffering, orphans, disease, etc. As we care about these issues and biblically alleviate them, we are bringing about the Kingdom on earth, as it is in heaven.
Why global ministry when there are so many needs right here in America?
While there are significant spiritual, emotional, and economic issues in America, there are also several Christian churches and organizations locally to meet those needs. In some places there are hundreds of churches in an area to care for that community or city. In many places in the world, including Africa, there may be no church, non-profit organization, or Kingdom presence in that area.
