In November 2024, a US ministry team joined our mission in Shigamani Village, South Africa, hosting an impactful event for men, training leaders and elders, discipling youth, and supporting the completion of a new building—empowering the village spiritually and practically under the theme "Empowering Future Generations.”

Giving Tuesday is a way to show gratitude by supporting people and communities worldwide. It’s more than just a day – it’s a global movement to build a better world through the power of giving. This year, you have the chance to drive transformation in Shigamani through entrepreneurship.

In November, we're hosting a two-day event to empower 40 men to embrace their God-given roles, including an overnight stay at a guesthouse. We need your prayers and financial support to bring this vision to life.

Dunamis Connections is seeking two dedicated individuals to be a blessing to the people of South Africa from January to March 2025. These individuals will be involved in the process of opening the new businesses, helping to lead construction teams, managing various projects, and overseeing group activities.

Henry recently welcomed two couples to join the mission in Shigamani Village, focusing on helping the community thrive both physically and spiritually. They hosted a Women's Event for 100 women, offering a two-day retreat with teaching sessions on "Empowering Future Generations." The team also completed construction work and engaged 70 youth in activities for growth.

Support our Women’s Event, bringing 100 Shigamani women together at a guesthouse for empowerment. Also, help us complete our new building—an initiative to foster entrepreneurship and self-sustainability in the village.

A diverse team from Brazil, the US, and South Africa, with Dunamis Connections, recently visited South African villages to minister to children and teens. They shared the gospel, built relationships, and engaged in fun activities. Brazilian donations enriched the local children’s ministry, and the team helped with construction and painting projects. The week ended with reflection and wildlife observation, leaving them inspired by the villagers’ joy and love.

Thank you to all the volunteers, sponsors, and friends for their contributions in making this event a great success. Empowering the Nations strengthened our connections as we enjoyed an authentic Brazilian-style barbecue and shared life-changing stories from around the world. Dunamis Connections is having a great impact by empowering individuals to reach their potential in developing nations, and you are a part of that!

We're thrilled to share that our recent Volleyball Tournament, held on April 27 in Ephrata, PA, was a huge success! The event was organized with the goal of raising funds for the Shigamani Project in South Africa.

Henry and Diane are in South Africa with their daughter Alyssa, son-in-law Durrell, and three amazing grandkids: Alaina, Lydia, and Justus. Everyone who knows Henry has surely heard him talking about his dreams for Shigamani Village. For the last 12 years, he has dedicated a lot of effort to this project and travels several times a year to empower individuals in South Africa. All of this is possible because of the encouragement from his family, and we are grateful for them!

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience as we focus on putting the roof on the building that will house a bakery, restaurant, butchery, and grocery store. Prior experience in construction work is helpful but not necessary to join. Besides the construction work, you will learn about the culture and participate in other activities within the village. You will also have the chance to relax and experience African wildlife.

Something amazing happens when people leave their countries to serve overseas. It creates a positive movement in the local community, touching several people.
