Excited to talk about our newest partner, @poeticeintl, as court building begins on their campus in Choma, Zambia!

Their 13.5 acres of enclosed land houses multiple facilities that are utilized for worship, training, gatherings and expressions. The adjacent 20 acres of unfenced land are the site of their future residential area.

As a ministry, Poetice has 5 major pursuits:

1. Community: poetice house churches, Sunday school, discipleship initiatives, counseling
2. Trainings: monastic, community, conferences, trips, retreats
3. Prayer & worship: weekly prayer sets, worship nights, family gatherings, events
4. Missions: evangelism initiatives, community outreach, service projects
5. Expressions: 3rd space business, education, athletics, residential neighborhood

We love their mission and are so excited to partner with @poeticeintl for our next court build!
