The Flowers family were introduced to Living Hope International Zambia in 2009 when Jamie and Kathy led a summer mission trip from Oak Pointe Church to serve alongside Living Hope in Ndola. Jamie, Kathy, and their oldest daughter, Megan, traveled to Zambia several times in the years that followed to serve on various short-term mission teams. In 2015 Jamie began working part time for Living Hope while still living in Michigan. In 2017 they were able to join staff full time and in the fall of 2019, they felt God’s leading to move their family overseas to work alongside the Zambian people. While living in Zambia, the Flowers focused on discipleship and leadership development, overseeing the welfare of the children living on campus and coffee production. Following the unexpected passing of Jamie in November of 2022, Kathy continues to serve joyfully as the Director of Education and Child Welfare. Kathy currently resides in Highland, MI, with her two youngest children, Emily and Joseph and travels several times per year to Zambia.
