Villages In Partnership Careers in Allentown, NJ

Villages in Partnership is a development organization that works in the rural villages of Sakata, Malawi, partnering with 25 villages and impacting over 19,000 lives. VIP has been in existence for nearly a decade and has members throughout the 50 states and the United Kingdom. But as with everything, VIP started as an idea. Or more accurately.It all started with a feeling. In the summer of 2007 Liz Heinzel-Nelson had a quiet but unshakeable feeling that she was being called by God to do more to serve the poor. A devout Christian, Liz couldn’t ignore this call, so she sat down with her husband Stephen, the pastor at Allentown Presbyterian Church, and told him of her stirring. She suggested they take their family and live in an impoverished nation doing mission work for the next 5 years. After months spent talking and praying, planning and fundraising, Liz, Stephen and their two young daughters, Terra and Jordan, landed in Malawi on January 1st 2008 to spend a year in the deeply impoverished southern African nation.
