What a year it’s been—all the glory belongs to our God! In 2025, with the Lord’s help and your generosity, we were able to disburse several grants toward Ministries in South Central Africa. It was the first year we were able to award grants in memory of the ministry of Rev. Stan Powers. It’s been a privilege to partner with your heart for African Ministries. God bless you!
Pastoral Training & Leadership Development
Stan made multiple trips to Africa to engage in pastoral training and leadership development. This area of ministry received $4600. We actively engaged in training leaders, believing in the call of God on their lives, and supporting their continued learning.
Bible Schools
Bible Schools were another area of ministry we were able to support with resources and teaching. We supported the creative initiative of multiple “Mobile Bible Schools” in Malawi. $12,000 was invested in the lives of students throughout the country. What a God-idea!
Church Roofs
Local congregations in Zimbabwe and Mozambique were supplied with the much-needed roofing materials for their church buildings—$22,800. These churches become ministry centers for their communities, where they are actively Extending Grace and Igniting Hope.
Stan was passionate about the ministry of ACOP in South-Central Africa.
Over the past decade, Stan made multiple trips to Africa to engage in pastoral training and leadership development.
Stan was also an advocate for the construction of church buildings and other infrastructure projects that would create sustainability in African communities.
Your memorial gift will be designated for these purposes.

When our partner churches—ACOP of Mozambique and ACOP of Zimbabwe heard about the memorial fund...
They contributed (of their own free will) over $500.00—this is from a part of the world where the average wage is $1.50 per day!
Generosity of this kind is the seed that will see the work that Stan was passionate about continue!
"Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in His kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia. They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity. For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will. They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for believers in Jerusalem. They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do."
—2 Corinthians 8:1-5 NLT
