Please consider joining us in supporting communities in Africa, particularly Zambia and Malawi, so they can access some of life’s necessities that we take for granted. Through our partnerships with other non-profit organizations, Promised Land Foundation (US) is helping to provide education, food, clothing, shelter, and the hope and love of the Gospel to those living in poverty and truly desperate situations.

Our Mission Statement
Promised Land Foundation seeks to address the challenges of poverty for children and their families living in Zambia and Malawi, Africa, and beyond. We partner with local organizations already working in their communities to provide education, food, shelter, clothing, and the hope and love of the Gospel. Our heartfelt prayer is that more and more children grow up without the burden of poverty and can experience the hope of having opportunities for success and living their lives to the fullest potential.
“For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29:11
Our Goals & Objectives
Promised Land Foundation (US) seeks to raise funds to support the work of the recently established Hope for Life Ministry (Malawi), Family Legacy (Zambia), Good Soil Partners (Malawi), Healing Hearts Mission (Zambia), One Girl One Promise (Malawi), and other notable charitable organizations as needs are presented and discerned by our Board.
It is noteworthy that we, as Americans in the United States of America, enjoy a level of prosperity foreign to most in the world, being statistically in the 95% of the richest people in the world. Promised Land Foundation (US) will seek to steward that prosperity here by partnering with local non-profits who know, love, and are part of the communities they live and serve. Our mission is to support their missions with financial resources they cannot raise alone.
“Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.” – 1 Timothy 6:17-19
ensuring a future & a hope
From Tim
The initial goal is to provide “a future and a hope” for the orphaned children encountered (approximately 68 at last count) in the Dedza region of Malawi. I personally have visited these orphaned children many times. When I say these children have relatively nothing but the tattered clothes on their backs, I present a truth and reality. Orphaned children are living with moms/families from the local church who do their best to care for them. These children have very little means of food, clothing, and education.
I recall, as is etched in my mind for a long time to come, “interviewing” a 17- year-old teenage girl there as she appeared depressed and withdrawn (pictured here). She had a third-grade education to that point and obviously an uncertain future and little hope. Their difficult situation(s) truly breaks my heart, knowing I would soon be returning to the abundance of what we enjoy in the US.
Teach One to Fish…
At Promised Land Foundation, our commitment is to steward the resources we have been entrusted with to provide children and their families with education, food, shelter, and clothing – seasoned with grace and the full hope and the love of the Gospel. Our passion is to do much more than give “fish to eat for a day…” but rather to invest in them and their communities so they have the means to rise above and escape poverty and the freedom to build lives of dignity and have purposeful, meaningful hope.
