Even though I was in vocational ministry and considered myself a devout Christian, I had only a cursory interest in foreign missions. I thought mission work was important but wasn’t interested in going on a mission trip – to anywhere, much less to Africa.
Through my role at Scope Ministries, I met an African ministry leader in 1999. He told his story about the Rwanda genocide and his call to train Christian leaders. He asked us to bring a team of women to Kenya to teach Be Transformed to women leaders. God spoke to my heart in a very compelling way. I KNEW He wanted me to go to Kenya.

As part of the Scope team, we went to Amsterdam 2000 to serve with the Billy Graham Association in the area of marriage and family. We saw 12,000 Christian leaders from all over the world gathered in one place. We decided it was the closest to heaven we would ever see on earth. God gave us a passion to train more African leaders.

Ed and I lead a team to east Africa in 2002 to train pastors and church leaders on marriage and marriage ministry. We then began making yearly mission trips to Africa.
In January 2012, we were in Zambia following up with pastors on marriage ministry. At that time, our host introduced us to a school in a slum of a slum that was about to close. Another ministry had started it but they were pulling out of Zambia. After seeing that school and the great need, God spoke to our hearts to support and develop Wisdom Christian School.

We had no training, no background, no experience with schools. We have learned that if we follow His direction, we may take a path that is beyond our imagination!
Through many supporters, God has provided above and beyond our dreams. WCS is a beacon of hope in that slum of a slum outside Ndola, Zambia.
I can’t begin to explain all of the joy in my heart that God has given me since I took that step of faith 25 years ago! I share a part of my personal journey to let you know that God can do an amazing work in and through anyone! He did it for me and for Ed – He can do it for you! Have faith and do not fear what He has for you!
In February 2020, Ed and I went to a status of semi-retirement. We are not counseling but we spend several hours a week working with Living Well and supporting Wisdom Christian School. We have been able to put 100% of donations for WCS directly to that work. We have always had enough donations to LIVING WELL to support our limited salaries and overhead.
But those donations are now less than what we need. We ask for your prayers and support for LIVING WELL. We want to avoid taking administrative fees from the donations to WISDOM Christian School.
Please let us know how you are doing. THANK YOU again for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement. We could not do what we do without YOU!
Our love in Christ,
Donna and Ed Edwards

The water that I will give him
will become in him
a well of water springing up to eternal life.
John 4:14b
LIVING WELL is a life source, not a life style.
