Help bring Bible lessons directly to 1,000 Zambian students

For five years, I've created short devotional videos that have reached millions of children worldwide through the YouVersion Bible App. These two-minute lessons help kids understand stewardship - that everything they have is entrusted to them by God - and challenge them to consider what they can do with those gifts.

Jacob Betts - Director of Digital Media

Next month, I'm taking this curriculum offline. I'll travel to Zambia's Southern Province to teach over 1,000 students across two school assemblies in the Pemba district. This content that started in my home studio and reached kids through screens around the world will now be delivered face-to-face to students who might never have had access to it otherwise.

Whether you give once, or join our Steward's Community of monthly givers, you'll partner with me in bringing these lessons directly to Zambian students. Your donation covers travel, gear, and materials - giving you a direct role in helping to inspire purpose, responsibility, and making a difference with what they've been given.
