NSAC ADVENTURE FUNDRAISER: TREK for HOPE 2023

Join the adventure and help raise funds for Lazarus House and Project Samuel! 

• LAZARUS HOUSE: New Young Adult Community House for young people experiencing a housing crisis in our city.
• Project Samuel Zambia: A home to orphaned and at risk children, Project Samuel also engages in community development projects such as agricultural and leadership training. We want to help build 4km of fence so they can become a self-sufficient ministry!
