Malawian Reflections

As you know, Debbie returned from Malawi at the end of July. She led a Visionledd team to work alongside Somebody Cares. The team was involved in speaking and ministering to literally hundreds of women, working with children, and being pastors to the staff and volunteers who work with Somebody Cares.

When Debbie is in Malawi, she is not just a team leader - she also serves as a "cultural translator" and a liaison between Somebody Cares and the other teams that come from Canada and the USA. Somebody Cares considers Debbie part of their family, and so some of her time is spent helping North American teams understand what good relationships and effective ministry look like in rural Malawi. Sometimes it is the "little things" she knows and shares that can make a big difference and help a team be effective.

Here are some thoughts from Debbie after being home from Malawi for almost a week.

Here I am again sitting at my desk in my quiet, comfortable home and yet in my head and heart I am still in far away Malawi, with the requisite short term mission team uniform on – my jeans, t-shirt and a beautiful, African print cloth wrapped around my waist, and worn like a skirt. I’m riding in a van over very pitted, pot-hole filled, bumpy, dusty dirt roads, packed in with my Malawian friends who have become very dear to me.

One of them is Mary who leaves home while it is still dark, taking her daily, many miles long, bicycle ride so she can be on-time for the 7:30 am staff devotions and work at the office of Somebody Cares. She calls me “my Debbie” and I call her “my Mary”.

There’s Miss Theresa who has been a school teacher for over 20 years to local children in Malawi and has now retired and works for Somebody Cares. Theresa recently lost her dear husband Felix, also a dear friend of ours, who died last year, in a matter of a few days, because of Cerebral Malaria. Both women are very capable, loving and patient but are quite able to “give it back” when the teasing and joking begins.

There are 17 staff on the Somebody Cares team, and every one of them has a story filled with sorrow and sacrifice. Yet despite their "trials and tribulations" they find joy in serving orphans and vulnerable children, widows, the elderly and those infected and affected by the scourge of AIDS. The time we have travelling in the vans, give us opportunities to get to know these precious people. It takes some gentle prodding but they will share with you if you ask them and they sense you are genuinely interested and care for them.

Over my past six visits I have come to think of the leaders and staff of Somebody Cares as my second family. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to seeing them each time I make the journey to the other side of the world. Once I get arrive there’s a lot of hugs and hand slapping which is a version of "high fiving" and saying a long drawn out aaaaayyy in that Malawian/African way.

Some people have admired me for the "sacrifice" I am making by going to Africa. The truth is -- it's not a sacrifice. It's a privilege to walk and work alongside my African family in caring for the poor, the widow and the orphan.

I can't wait to go back!

The Fall

The fall is going to be a very busy time for us with a lot of travel. Between September 1 and November 30 one or both of us will be in Washington DC; Austin, Texas; Capetown, South Africa; Malawi and Burkina Faso. All of these trips relate to our work with Visionledd. In our next update, we'll give you some details.

Karl will also continuing working at his new part-time job as the Director of Justice Ministries at Mission Community Church in Gilbert. We've been friends of Mission Church for 3 years. Karl introduced them to Somebody Cares in 2007, and as Mission and Somebody Cares have formed a partnership, we've served as advisors and consultants along the way. Our ministry with Mission Church doesn't change what we are doing with Visionledd, Somebody Cares, Vigilance or our church and ministry partners here in North America -- in fact we see lots of opportunities to create synergy between Visionledd and Mission Church -- in Africa and perhaps even beyond.

We are also thrilled that Donovan and Hyesun are back with us after a year of living in Korea. Hyesun will be studying at Mesa Community College this fall, while Donovan continues working part-time as a web-programmer and begins the "home-stretch" on his degree in Software Engineering. It's simply great to have them back with us!

Thank you so much for your continued friendship, prayer and support. We are so grateful for the fact that you are standing with us in helping North American churches walk alongside those in Africa who are ministering to those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, widows, orphans and vulnerable children.

We would encourage you to check out the Visionledd Facebook page. You don't have to be a member of Facebook to see the updates, photos and videos. Just click Here.

Transformation -- It Can Really Happen!

As our 4-Wheel Drive vehicle pulled off the dusty, rutted road we had been traveling on for the last half hour it was immediately clear that Chikudzulire was not your average Malawian village. It wasn’t the large, newly constructed Community Center that was just a few feet away that made this a different place. It was what we saw happening all around us – and what we sensed as we
got out of the vehicle.

This was a community in the process of transformation!

Everywhere we looked there were children running, playing and just being happy! We immediately saw several groups of people sitting in circles on the ground and under trees. Theresa Malila, the Executive Director of Somebody Cares told us who these groups of people were:

Over there, is an HIV/AIDS Support Group!
• There, under the tree – the youth leaders are meeting!
• Over there – on the benches – the pastors of this community are getting together to pray!
• In the Community Center – the women’s group is meeting and learning about bead-making.
• In the classroom – about 80 children are in the Early Childhood Education program.
• In the covered kitchen we saw a group of women preparing the fortified porridge for the children’s daily feeding.

What a difference from just a few years ago! I remember Mr. Makena coming to the offices of Somebody Cares in November 2006 – asking for help on behalf of his community. The traditional leaders and the pastors of Chikudzulire had heard that Somebody Cares helped communities with their orphans and vulnerable children and helped them “develop” – and they wanted to change the way life was in their community.

In May 2007 I visited Chikudzulire along with Theresa and a group of 15 pastors that I had organized from Arizona, Wisconsin and Maryland for a Vision Trip. Mr. Makena was there to welcome us – as were the traditional leaders and pastors of the community – along with over 1,000 orphans and vulnerable children, widows and families. They came to meet us with hope and expectancy – but it was not very hard to see the hopelessness in their eyes and their hearts.

Life has always been difficult in Chikudzulire. This community composed of about 48 villages and around 50,000 people is far from the beaten path. It is in the “African bush”. The great majority of people were living on less than $1 a day. There were literally thousands of orphans and vulnerable children in the community and hundreds of widows – all barely surviving. One meal a day was seen as a blessing. The scourge of AIDS had taken its toll on this community.

Today, after three years of partnership between Mission Community Church (Gilbert, AZ), Visionledd, Somebody Cares and the people of Chikudzulire, transformation is underway. The community has two wells that provide clean drinking water to thousands of people. A feeding center for children and a Community Center have been built – and the children have a playground – perhaps the only one in rural Malawi!

But, it isn’t the physical buildings that have caused the transformation. As I greeted Mr. Makena, the man sent by the community to visit Somebody Cares almost 4 years ago – he made that clear to me. I told him I was “blown away” by what I saw – and the difference three years of partnership has made. He immediately said the following to me:

While we are very grateful for the boreholes and the buildings – but the real transformation in Chikudzulire is spiritual. We have hope! Traditional leaders are coming to know the Lord! Churches are working together! Orphans are being cared for! Widows are learning how to make an income! God is transforming our community! We are looking forward to the day when we can help other communities, just like Somebody Cares helped us!

As Mr. Makena and I talked some more, it was clear that he was convinced that God is doing a new thing in Chikudzulire. I introduced Mr. Makena to Amanda Cox of the Faith to Action Initiative. We were in Chikudzulire to complete a UNICEF
research project on partnerships between North American and African churches ministries that do community-based care for orphans and vulnerable children. The result of the research is a publication coming out this fall highlighting effective partnership models. What was happening in Chikudzulire was clear to Amanda. At the end of the two days we spent in the community she told us that this was one of the best partnerships she has ever seen in Africa!

Debbie and I just want to tell you how much we appreciate your partnership with us. In the same way that Aaron and Hur held up Moses hands in battle (Exodus 17), your prayer and support is holding up our hands -- as we hold up the hands of ministries like Somebody Cares, who in-turn hold up the hands of African communities infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Each of us cannot do what we are doing without the other. You are helping to bring hope and change to Africa even though you are here in North America.

Looking Forward to July

July is an exciting month! On July 6 Donovan and Hyesun come home, after being in Korea for 13 months. We are looking forward to seeing them in-person rather than just on Skype.

Then, on July 13 Debbie is taking a short-term missions team to Malawi. Pray for her and our team members that God would prepare them and that they would have a fruitful time of ministry.

Thank you so much for your partnership with us.

Karl and Debbie

Minneapolis, Malawi and New Frontiers?

I can see clearly now -- the rain is gone! Some of you may remember those words from a song from long ago. In some ways that is how we feel -- at least about the big picture over the next couple or so months. When we last updated our blog, some things were a bit foggy - but the Lord has provided some clarity and for that we are grateful.


On April 28 we are flying to Minneapolis to join Theresa Mal
ila of Somebody Cares Malawi to participate in the Christian Alliance for Orphans Summit in Minneapolis. Over 1,000 people from across the USA will attend this event. Theresa, Karl and Amanda Cox of the Faith to Action Initiative will be doing a presentation at the Summit. They will be speaking on how churches in North America can partner with African churches in doing community-based orphan care. It is a tremendous opportunity to share what we have learned over the past 4+ years, as well as network with people across America. Pray the Lord will enable us to communicate effectively and have those Divine appointments we have been praying for.

Malawi and New Frontiers? -- May 15-28

On May 15 Karl flies to Malawi for two weeks. During his first week he will be helping to facilitate some research being done by the Faith to Action Initiative and UNICEF on the partnership between Somebody Cares, Visionledd and Mission Community Church in the Chikudzulire, Malawi. The research will lay the foundation for the possible inclusion and featuring of our partnership in a publication that will be distributed to churches, Bible colleges, seminaries and Christian conferences throughout the USA. The first printing of the publication will be in the 20,000 range!

While in Africa, Theresa Malila, Karl and one or two others may also be going to Zimbabwe. We have been invited to visit a Zimbabwean ministry in the city of Bulawayo that is currently caring for over 2,500 orphans and vulnerable children. We are still working out the logistics and details of the trip. The purpose of the visit would be to get to know this ministry, meet key leaders in the area and discern whether a partnership with Somebody Cares and Visionledd would be a possibility. Besides the on-the-ground challenges of visiting and traveling in Zimbabwe is the expense. Frankly, if this trip is going to happen, we will probably need about $2,000 to cover the costs for Theresa and Karl (that includes airfare, food, housing, transportation & ministry expenses). The other individuals going, will cover their own costs. We believe this is a strategic opportunity to potentially begin a long-term partnership that could make an impact on this nation. Let us know if you would like to help.

Donovan and Hyesun are Coming Home!


Hyesun received her immigration papers and Donovan and Hyesun are coming back to Phoenix on July 6. We are thrilled and looking forward to having them share our house until they get settled in, and sort things out. Donovan will be looking for at least part-time work as a web programmer as well as finishing his university degree. Hyesun will also be looking for a part-time job. So, if you know anybody who needs a great web programmer and a web designer, tell them to give us a call!

Debbie Returns to Malawi - July 13-31

One short week after Donovan and Hyesun get back home, Debbie is leading a team to work with Somebody Cares Malawi. The team members are all very gifted people -- teachers, pastors, chaplains. Somebody Cares now has over 550 Home-Base Care volunteers, and in addition to working with over 7,500 orphans and vulnerable children, hundreds of widows and people in HIV/AIDS support groups, is now starting on a Rape Crises Center and ministry. Debbie's team will be involved in all of these things -- sometimes training, sometimes providing pastoral support, sometimes just going out with staff and volunteers into community. It's all about "coming alongside" -- and that is what this team will do.

Can You Partner With Us?

We really need your prayer over these next few months. Obviously, we can't share everything that is happening, but we would ask that you pray for us -- asking God for wisdom, direction, protection and everything we need to be as effective for the Kingdom as possible. We know many of you pray for us, and for that we are very grateful.

We rarely ask for financial support, but if you feel the Lord leading you to give towards the work we are doing in Africa, we would ask that you consider a gift in the next few weeks -- especially for the possible trip to Zimbabwe, and for the work we are doing in Africa. There are 3 ways in which you can give.

1. Write a check to "Visionledd", designate it for us and mail it to:

Visionledd
PO Box 20158
Mesa, AZ 85277

2. You can use the Bill Pay feature of your bank.

3. You can use your credit card by giving through our partner Network for Good, by clicking HERE.

Thank you so much for your friendship, prayer, and support.

Opportunities and Challenges -- Trusting God in 2010

This morning Debbie and I spent some time praying for God to lead us and provide for us in the remaining 9 months of 2010. As we talked and prayed we quickly came to a clear realization of the obvious -- we are not in control of our lives! All we can do is seize the opportunities God gives us, trust Him to overcome the challenges that come our way, and follow Jesus everyday. As you know, that is sometimes easier said than done. Frankly, we are quite overwhelmed by the opportunities that God has given us -- and the resources needed to walk through those open doors. We are, perhaps, facing the greatest faith challenge of our lives. We are totally dependent on a miracle working God.

For the past 3 months we have been involved in a whirlwind of activity and ministry. The past weeks have been filled with speaking engagements i
n churches, meeting with pastors about ministry in Africa, spending time with people who are interested in deeper involvement in Africa, preparing for upcoming events and trips, and networking with leaders from around the world. At times we have been encouraged by what God is doing through our friends and partners, discouraged by the challenges of life (finding affordable health insurance on the individual market in the USA) and amazed by the unexpected gifts that God gives us.

This morning as Karl was doing some chores around the house he was reminded of a couple of things.

1. About 20 years ago, Peter Wagner asked this question. "Do you want to build a big church/ministry, or do you want to change the world?" A simpl
e yet profound question with huge implications. Our heart is to change the world -- whether or not that results in a "big" ministry.

2.
God reminded Karl that what we do is focused on walking alongside our African friends and partners as they minister to with those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and as they work for transformed communities. It is about them -- not about us or Visionledd. Like Aaron and Hur held up the arms of Moses in Exodus 17 -- so we are called to hold up the arms of men and women like Pastor Kouliga Nikiema in Burkina Faso and Theresa Malila in Malawi.

We that in mind, we would ask that you stand with us in the coming months of ministry. Here is some of what we will be doing.

1. March 29 - April 1 Karl will be in Atlanta meeting with pastors and individuals interested in partnering in Africa. Pray that God will give him favor.

2. April 8 - 15 we are hosting Theresa Malila, the Founder and Director of Somebody Cares in Malawi. Aside from a number of private meetings, Theresa will be speaking at Mission Community Church on April 11 (morning services) and April 13 (dessert evening) as well as at City of Grace on April 14 (women's event in the morning). You can contact the churches involved for dates and times.

3. April 28 - May 1 we are going to Minneapolis where Karl and Theresa Malila will be doing a presentation on partnership at the Christian Alliance for Orphans Annual Summit. Over 800 people from across the USA are expected at this event.

4. May - Karl will be in Malawi. For part of the time he will be involve
d in a UNICEF and Faith to Action Initiative project involving Somebody Cares, Mission Community Church and Visionledd. UNICEF is publishing a book about churches/ministries in North America who partner with churches/ministries in Africa doing community-based care for orphans and vulnerable children. Our partnership will most likely be highlighted in this publication -- along with that of 3-5 others. It would be good for Debbie to be in Malawi during this time as well -- but her involvement will depend on the resources God provides.

5. Summer - Donovan and Hyesun expect to return from Korea this summer. We are so excited that they will be coming back. Debbie also expects to be in Africa for anywhere from 4-6 weeks this summer. Her role in leading teams, pastoral care, building relationships and ministering to the staff and volunteers of our Africa partners is crucial for our ministry there. Karl will stay in North America, making sure all is well on the home front.

6. Fall - We will both be in Africa for some of the fall. Debbie will return to Malawi in October and November. Karl will attend the Capetown 2010 Congress on World Evangelization as a US delegate in October. Then at the end of November, he will lead a team to Burkina Faso.

It is shaping up to be quite the year. Will you pray with us as we believe God for the spiritual and physical strength to follow Him and the resources needed to do the job? Thanks so much.

We appreciate your love, friendship and support. We are so very grateful for the many incredible people God has placed in our lives. We are blessed.

A New Decade Brings New Opportunities

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is hard to believe that today is January 1, 2010. Where have the last 10 years gone? I can still remember all of the "kafafal" surrounding the year 2000!

We are excited about this new year and all of the opportunities that lay ahead of us. This morning we spent some time praying together and we felt the Lord reminding us of three things.

1. The Kingdom of God grows organically. What does that mean? The Kingdom grows naturally -- through the web of people and relationships that God brings into our lives. As God brings people and relationships to us, our role is to nurture and cultivate them so that they can bring the fruit that God desires.

2. Divine Appointments. We need God to give us those "divine appointments". 2009 was filled with many divine appointments. We could give you
the names of more than a dozen people God clearly directed us to. Each of the relationships have a different purpose, but we can see how God brought these people into our lives to take us further on this adventure, open doors for us, or teach us things we need to learn.

3. Champions. God will grow our ministry as He leads us to "champions" -- men and women who have a heart for the poor, the widow, the orphan, the vulnerable child. We are asking God to lead us to people in whom He has birthed a similar vision to ours -- people whose vision we can champion - and people who can champion our vision. We are looking for those we can truly work together with as a team and a family -- even if we live in different parts of North America or even the world. God has knit us together with some of those champions a
lready - but we are asking God for many more.

So, what did God remind us of this morning? Nothing more than He is the author and director of our lives, our faith and our ministry, and, that He is interested in people and relationships and that as we nurture the relationships He brings into our lives, His Kingdom will come and His will will be done.

January Opportunities

January 6 - Karl is leading a panel discussion at the East Valley Missions Consortium on mobilizing people and resources for missions in our changing world.
January 9 - Visionledd USA Board of Directors Meeting via Skype with board members here in the Phoenix area, in Atlanta, Florida and Toronto!
January 12-13- Karl is participating in the Founders Meeting of the Global CHE Network that is bringing together 22 leaders from 17 ministries who are focused on Community Health Evangelism.
January 14 - Karl is attending the Board of Directors meeting of the Alliance for Transformational Ministry.
January 16 - Karl is attending the Board of Directors meeting of Global CHE Enterprises
January 23 - We are leading a dessert meeting focusing on Visionledd USA's new partner ministry in Burkina Faso. If you'd like to attend the meeting, send an email to KARL.

January 25-27 - Karl will be in Dallas for a meeting of the American delegates to Capetown 2010.
January 31 - Karl will be speaking at Sunday services at Church of the Vine in Surprise, Arizona.

As you can see, it is a BUSY month, and we are going to need your prayer. Thank you for standing with us.

Do You Want to Experience Africa in 2010?

Now is the time to begin praying and preparing to join us in Africa! Debbie and/or Karl will be leading teams to Malawi, Zambia and Burkina Faso this year. Teams will be going in March, June, July, August and November. We would love for you to join us. We promise, you will never be the same.

There are ways for everybody to serve -- but we have some special opportunities this year for nurses and teachers in June in Zambia. If you fit the bill, or know someone who may be interested, let us know.

If you want more information, exact dates and costs, or have questions, send an email to US.

Thank you so very much for your prayer and support. We have been so blessed by our friends and partners in ministry over this past year. We hope and pray we have been a blessing to you as well and that this coming year will be one of joy, peace and fruitfulness.

Merry Christmas from Karl and Debbie

Debbie and I are writing this from Edmonton, Canada where we are here to celebrate Christmas with Karl's parents. As you can see we are "enjoying" the -18C (0F) temperatures, the beautiful snow and the crisp, cold air. Having lived in Phoenix the last 10 years, we are no longer used to real Canadian winters. We fear we have become "winter wimps".

In order to toughen up, Karl went on a 2km (1.2 mile) walk in the Mill Creek Ravine with his Dad this afternoon. He figured there is nothing like a long, refreshing, brisk walk in the snow to make one feel like you are in the middle of winter! Debbie, decided that the best way to remember winter is to stay inside! You can decide who made the best decision!

We are glad to be able to be with Karl's parents for this Christmas. Donovan and Hyesun are spending their first Christmas as a married couple in Korea. We are looking forward to spending some time with on Christmas Eve via that wonderful thing called "Skype". Those of you with friends and family scattered around the globe know what I am talking about.

Debbie and I want to wish you a wonderful Christmas and a blessed 2010. We are so grateful for our friends and family around the world and for your prayer, support and partnership in the adventure that we have embarked on this past year. These past 12 months have not only been encouraging and filled with tremendous opportunities, but have also challenged our faith. We are so glad that we can do this as husband and wife -- but also with so many of you who have told us your are praying for us and standing with us.

May God richly bless you during this time where we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!


Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year

Blessed to Be A Blessing -- Burkina Faso, Sacrifice and Dessert

Whenever I come back from Africa I am so very strongly reminded that we are blessed to be a blessing, that sacrifice can change the world, and that desserts can be a good thing. Let me explain.

Burkina Faso


During the last week of October I had the privilege of joining Steve Bowler, the Visionledd Africa Representative in the small west African nation of Burkina Faso. The purpose of our trip was to meet with the leadership of Vigilance (an HIV/AIDS ministry in this nation of 13 million), see what God is doing, and discern whether or not Visionledd should join Vigilance in partnership.

Burkina Faso is French speaking and about 45% of the people are Muslim. One could see the Islamic influence everywhere -- from hotels and gas stations funded by Libya, to brand new mosques and boreholes/wells in almost every village and community -- all funded by "petro-dollars". The Christian population numbers about 25% and despite being in the minority, we were privileged to see signs of God is at work throughout the country.

I was privileged to attend a baptism in a village just outside the capital city where 11 people were baptized in a small pond. I spoke to a group of over 100 young leaders who were all committed to abstinence and to seeing God use them to change their nation. Steve spoke to a group of more than 100 people living with AIDS. The story of his 22 year struggle with MS and how this disease is a "gift from God" encouraged those who too were struggling with a fatal illness.

Steve and I, along with Pastor Kouliga Nikiema (the founder and director of Vigilance), traveled to meet Vigilance partners in two communities that have a high HIV infection rate. Meeting with pastors and leaders and listening to how they are ministering to those who are HIV+ regardless of religious background was inspiring. In the town of Bousse, all but two members of the leadership team were HIV+, but they were committed to helping the 57 churches in 90 villages be the hands and feet of Jesus to their communities.

There are many stories that could be told -- but Steve and I both left Burkina Faso and Pastor Kouliga with a profound sense of gratefulness. Grateful that we had the opportunity to inte
ract with heroes of the faith. Encouraged that God is at work, and challenged by the sacrifice of so many who have so little.

I trust this will not be my last trip to Burkina (though I would like to choose a time when the temperature is less than 112F for my next visit). God is at work in this nation and He is using Pastor Kouliga and Vigilance to make a difference!

Blessing and Sacrifice

In the past couple of weeks Debbie and I have been especially blessed by two families, and we would like to briefly tell their stories. About 10 days ago we received an email from a friend who told us that they were celebrating their daughter's birthday. AND, instead of of gifts, they were asking their young daughter's friends to bring money to be given to the ministry of Visionledd in Africa. Whatever the children brought, the parents would match! We were so blessed and hum
bled to hear this story. Truly, this family knows what it means to be blessed and then be a blessing.

In the last
couple of days I spoke to another family that had heard about the WOW Children's Christmas through a friend on Facebook and decided that they wanted to help orphans and vulnerable children in Africa. I spoke with the mother, and was again humbled by the sacrifice that this family is making in order to bless over 200 children with not only a Christmas celebration but school uniforms and school supplies. The family was on the verge of bankruptcy and then a close family member passed away and left them some money. They have been determined to not only pay off their debts, but to tithe from this inheritance -- even if it meant not being totally debt free -- or buying the new car they need. As the mom and I talked on the phone, I was once again humbled, inspired and encouraged by the commitment of this family to be a blessing.

If you'd like to help an orphan and vulnerable child in Africa hear the Christmas story, enjoy a real party and supply them with what they need for school in the coming year, EMAIL KARL
. You can actually do all that for only $20!

Dessert Meeting With Theresa Malila of Somebody Cares Malawi

What is God doing in Malawi? Theresa Malila, the founder of Somebody Cares, will be with us to talk about what the Holy Spirit is doing in Malawi. Join us for some great dessert and the chance to renew old friendships and make new ones as we hear from Theresa and pray together. There will also be an opportunity to support the work of Somebody Cares as they battle against HIV/AIDS and for transformed communities.
