Location: Malawi
Ministry FocusThe Walton family is currently working at Village of Hope - Malawi (VOHM), a ministry to orphaned and vulnerable children. Village of Hope - Malawi provides education through its school, healthcare through local hospitals, nutrition through its feeding program and shelter through its children's home to at-risk children. Every Friday Hope Kids Church reaches 500 children in the community surrounding VOHM. Jef and Renatta Walton serve faithfully as the National Director and Village Administrator of VOHM. In total, 285 children are currently supported through the ministry of VOHM. Most of these precious children live in the high-density and low-income community named Kauma. Renatta is also an adjunct faculty member at Master's College and Seminary (MCS) where she continues to teach online courses. [note that physical meetings for Hope Kids Church have been postponed due to COVID-19 safety protocols]
