Meant 2 Live Foundation seeks to provide opportunities for those who might not otherwise get a chance to live a different life.

Working with both local and international non-profit organizations, Meant 2 Live Foundation improves the quality of life for youth through education, mentorship, food programs, musical inspiration, and spiritual nourishment. Currently focusing on Washington DC, Virginia, and Zambia, M2L believes members of society can fulfill their social responsibility by sharing their time, talents, and resources to impact impoverished communities worldwide. Through our Splendor ministry, M2L utilizes the universal power of music to restore hope to underprivileged communities by providing a VIP experience to those in the greatest need of encouragement. Meant 2 Live Foundation is driven by the belief that we are all meant to live a meaningful life of purpose, and that everyone deserves a chance to live the life they want. It is in that spirit that we support and fund educational, medical, culinary, musical, and spiritual development programs that seek to empower impoverished lives around the world. Our vision is to see the global community lifted up, encouraged and completely transformed by the grace of God.

One of the things we love most about our time in Zambia is seeing everyone come together.

The orphans we serve, our mission team, and the people around them all joining in, whether it was a game, a dance, a song, or just a little fun outside.

There was always room for one more person to join.

These are the moments that make a mission trip so special. Not just the work we came to do, but the time we get to spend together and the friendships that begin along the way.

We’re grateful for every person who was part of this trip and for all the laughter, smiles, and memories we brought home with us.

Maybe you’ll join us on the next one and become part of moments like these too.

Some of the sweetest moments from our 2026 Zambia Mission Trip were the simplest ones.

A little face paint, a lot of laughter, games, and time spent just being together with the orphans we serve.

It’s easy to think that serving is all about what we can give, but the people we meet often give us just as much in return. The smiles, the laughter, and the relationships we build are what stay with us long after the trip is over.

We’re so grateful for everyone who has taken the time to come alongside these children and share in these moments with them.

If you’ve ever felt called to serve, maybe one day you’ll join us too.

And who knows, maybe you’ll get the chance to paint a little joy into someone’s life too.

A school is more than the walls that surround it.

It is where children learn, make friends, discover their abilities, and begin imagining what their future can look like.

As the rebuilding of St. Abanoub continues, we are reminded of why this work matters so deeply to the children and community we serve.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far. We continue to pray for the work ahead and for the children who will one day fill these classrooms again.

What once felt like a distant goal is becoming something we can see with our own eyes.

The rebuilding of St. Abanoub continues, and each stage brings the community closer to having a place where children can learn, grow, and feel supported again.

We are grateful to everyone who has helped bring this vision forward through their prayers, generosity, and willingness to serve.

We thank God for the progress and for every person who continues to be part of this mission.

Every home has a story. Every family has a journey.

One of the greatest gifts of a mission trip is being welcomed into the lives of the people we serve.

These visits remind us that meaningful change doesn't begin with projects or programs. It begins with relationships, listening with open hearts, and taking the time to understand one another.

As Meant 2 Live Foundation continues serving communities in Zambia, we remain grateful for every opportunity to walk alongside families, share in their lives, and remind one another that no one walks alone.

Community isn't built in a day. It's built one conversation, one prayer, and one act of kindness at a time.

Worship has a way of bringing people together.

In moments like these, differences in language, culture, and background fade away as we gather with one purpose: to glorify God and grow together in faith.

One of the greatest blessings of a mission trip is experiencing the Church beyond our own communities. It is a reminder that no matter where we are in the world, we are united as one family in Christ.

As Meant 2 Live Foundation continues serving communities in Zambia, we remain grateful for every opportunity to worship, learn, and walk alongside our brothers and sisters in faith.

Sometimes, the greatest impact of a mission trip begins long before the work starts. It begins with hearts united in worship.

07/16/2026

Every mission trip begins with a willingness to serve.

Inside these classrooms, volunteers share their knowledge, encourage students, and build relationships that leave a lasting impact on everyone involved.

For the children, it’s an opportunity to learn from new faces and discover new possibilities. For many missionaries, it’s a reminder that some of life’s greatest lessons come from the people they came to serve.

Serving a community also means investing in the places where children learn, grow, and prepare for their future. As Meant 2 Live Foundation continues rebuilding the St. Abanoub school campus, we look forward to welcoming more mission teams into classrooms where these meaningful moments can continue for generations to come.

If you’ve ever felt called to serve, perhaps this is where your journey begins.

Moments like these remind us that even in the midst of life's challenges, there is always something to thank God for.

Faith continues to be a source of hope, strength, and encouragement for the children and communities we serve in Zambia.

As we reflect on all that God has provided and all that still lies ahead, we are reminded that one of the most meaningful ways people can support this mission is through prayer.

Please continue praying for the over orphaned and vulnerable children we serve, their families, their communities, and all those working to support them.

Thank you for standing with us in faith and helping make a difference through the power of prayer.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." — Psalm 107:1

A happy stomach means a happy heart.

Sharing a meal gives students the chance to connect with friends, recharge, and enjoy the simple joys of being together.

Feeding programs like these are made possible through the generosity of people who choose to invest in the well-being of children and the communities they call home.

As Meant 2 Live Foundation continues serving communities in Zambia, we remain grateful for everyone who helps create opportunities for children to feel cared for, supported, and encouraged.

They are also a reminder of why creating safe, supportive environments for orphaned children matters so deeply.

285 Attendees. $80,000 Raised. Just $20,000 to Go.

What started as an idea became an unforgettable evening of music, community, and purpose.

On June 5, IMPACT Collective had the honor of producing the Benefit Concert featuring Cade Thompson in support of rebuilding the St. Abanoub School campus in Zambia after devastating floods damaged the learning spaces children rely on every day.

Together with STSA Church, Meant 2 Live Foundation, our sponsors, volunteers, and 285 attendees from across the DMV, we witnessed what can happen when a community rallies around a meaningful cause.

The result? More than $80,000 raised toward the rebuilding effort.

To everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, volunteered, prayed, and supported this mission, thank you for being part of something bigger than a single evening.
