Challenging Pastors Across Nigeria

Hands at Work
17 September 2009

In response to the massive need of Nigeria’s most vulnerable children, Hands at Work partners are challenging and training church leaders in the poorest areas of 3 regions across the country: Lagos, Ibadan and Kano. Recently, more than 200 leaders were trained in 3 – 5 day workshops.

Our Calling: the Giesbrecht family
5 August 2026

The calling that our family has had to live in Africa is part of providing a bridge between some of the most vulnerable communities on the planet to churches in North America that are facing the pressures of our culture. Because there is something incredibly vital that the western church needs to receive from Africa. This is my heart to share with anyone that will listen.

The Local Church in Africa
24 June 2026

The vision of Hands is to see the local church in Africa caring for the vulnerable, joined with the church outside of Africa. We believe the church (the body of Christ) is the answer. Victor shares about how the local church is involving itself in being the answer, together with the support of Hands at Work in Africa.

The Gift of Teams
18 November 2025

Our International Teams are groups of people from across the world who come to Africa and partner with Hands at Work and the local Church to serve, encourage and learn from them. It is a beautiful picture of the diversity of the Body of Christ coming together to serve the most vulnerable who are suffering hunger, HIV/AIDS, violence and trauma on a daily basis.

The Gift of a Goat
16 November 2024

In the communities where Hands at Work serves, a goat can be an important resource for a family; they are resilient and reproduce quickly, often having up to six kids annually. As Care Workers look after their goats and watch their goat family grow, they are essentially creating a ‘bank account’ of goats that they can sell and use the profits earned to purchase basic items for their families.

Our Calling - Gideon and Ritha Mbuzi
12 July 2024

“Through spending time with Hands at Work, I came to see the greater picture of what was being done and I wanted to be a part of it. My journey with Hands at Work reminds me of where I have come from. I have walked through many challenges similar to the children that we are serving. God has taught me to continue to trust in and hold onto Him because he never fails his people. I have seen how I should be depending on God because God is the only answer.”
