The Boise Vineyard first heard about Seeds of Hope through a Vineyard Missions partnership conference where they were inspired by watching one of our videos on the drilling, hand pump repair and hygiene training taking place in Zambia. What Seeds of Hope is doing with a practical, hands-on approach to reaching the needy is just what the Boise Vineyard had been looking to be a part of. This inspired them to take a vision trip to Zambia in the spring of 2007. Senior pastor Tri Robinson and his wife together with their administrative pastor Tim McFarlane and several others came over to Zambia and observed all the different aspects of SHIP’s ministry there.  The Boise Vineyard is now partnering with Seeds of Hope to construct a building for the Mapalo Resource Center. They have a heart to equip the church in Zambia to reach into the surrounding community.  

Students are being trained at the Vineyard College of Missions in Boise to work in community development outreaches specifically targeting children in crisis. Some of these students together with church members will be working in Zambia with Seeds of Hope.

The Boise Vineyard was also instrumental in introducing Seeds of Hope to Ann Campbell, who later donated her late husband’s drill rig to SHIP.
