Building Hope in Angola: Kevin and Owen’s 2025 trip

Kevin and Owen are raising funds to return to Angola Africa in September-2025. The shipping containers of materials are already on the way and we will be constructing the steel framing and roof for a 4,000 square foot medical building at the Cavango Mission. The trip will be approximately 2-1/2 weeks, and we will be serving alongside the local village men who have been working on the existing buildings and grounds.

Kevin’s first trip to Angola was in 2018, and he immediately fell in love with the people of Angola and the ministry opportunities to use his 30 years of construction experience to bless others. Owen’s first trip was in 2024, right after graduating from High School and he has been working as an auto mechanic for the past year, so he is looking forward to returning to see the missionaries and villagers of Cavango.

The Cavango Mission has a 75 year history of impacting the area and was a thriving bush clinic until the country’s civil war from 1975-2002. Since then it has been rebuilding both structures and support. A significant catalasyst to the growth over the past 13 years has been due to the mimistry work of Tim and Betsy Kubacki. Their unfailing dedication to the people of Angola and the support received around the world has transformed a small bush clinic into a thriving medical campus with multiple buildings and supporting infrastructure. It is a blessing to be a small part of this ministry and we would love to have you partner with us however you can!

The trip is being organized through Advancing the Gospel in Angola, or AGA for short. The mission of AGA is to “Gather and distribute resources in support of Christ-centered education, healthcare, agriculture and church development ministries in Angola Africa.”

Tranding Fundraisers

I’ve created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Sarah and James, who are enduring every parent’s worst nightmare — the loss of their beloved son, Leo.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
