About Us
We are a family of four—John, Karen, Elizabeth and Sarah Leitzel—en route to Lusaka, Zambia. We’re being sent by the Lifelink/Global Horizons family of churches (global-horizons.org) to help in three particular areas:
- Assisting Hope College in training pastors and church leaders in Zambia and Zimbabwe,
- Strengthening churches and pastors and their relationships with each other, and
- Helping provide medical care and training in needy areas.
We’re from Crown Point, Indiana (USA), where we’ve been part of CrossPoint Church and the Lifelink Chicago group of churches (including Living Word Church and Mercy Hill Church).
