Bringing
Homes, Meals, & Hope
to the Heart of Southern Africa.
Through Abide Well’s Building Department, elderly widows and orphans in Eswatini receive strong, safe homes—built by faith, skill, and local partnerships.
Abide Well’s feeding program serves thousands of meals annually to Eswatini children through local chicken farming, school gardens, and farmer training.
WE BELIEVE IN SHOWING WHAT THE CHURCH CAN BE — NOT TROUGHT WORDS ALONE, BUT TROUGH ACTION, CARE AND FAITH LIVED OUT IN ESWATINI, AFRICA.
Eswatini may be small and often unseen by the world, but we believe it’s exactly the kind of place where Jesus calls us to go.
HOMEBUILDING FOR THE VULNERABLE
We build safe, durable homes for elderly widows, disadvantaged families, and, soon, for orphans transitioning back to family units—restoring dignity one home at a time.
FEEDING PROGRAMS THROUGH LOCAL FARMING
We partner with schools and local farmers to feed children in need—over 25,000 meals planned for 2025—while also supporting sustainable agriculture and community training.
SUSTAINABLE CHICKEN FARMING & TRAINING
We train local chicken farmers and equip schools with hands-on agricultural education, creating income, food security, and long-term solutions for rural Eswatini.
FAMILY REUNIFICATION FOR ORPHANS
Through our “Building Hope” initiative, we’ll help reconnect children in orphanages with safe family members—by building or repairing homes and preparing families for reunification.

About us
We're not a big organization. We're a family that said yes—and kept saying yes. From our first days in Bulembu to launching Abide Well, we’ve always believed that Jesus leads us to places others may miss. Through construction, meals, and relationship, we’re showing what the Church can look like when it’s built on faith, presence, and people.
In October of 2025, we’ll return to live in Eswatini—nine years after first setting foot in the small mountain town that changed our lives. As we reestablish our roots, we’re launching Building Hope, a new initiative to help reconnect children from Bulembu’s orphanage with safe, loving family members. Many of these children can return to a parent, grandparent, or extended family—if the home is safe, stable, and secure. That’s where we come in. We’ll build or repair homes to make reunification possible, walking alongside families and social workers to ensure each child is placed in a healthy environment. It’s a full-circle moment of restoration, and we can’t wait to begin.
Give Today. Build hope.
Because we go where others don’t.
Because we serve the ones the world often forgets.
Because Jesus still calls us to love in practical, personal ways.
If you’ve been looking for a place to give that’s rooted in the Gospel and focused on real change—you just found it.
