Timeline:

2007- Vicki Cooper heard God say, “Get Prepared”. She was attending at bible school- The Vineyard Leadership Institute. “The school asked the students to do a leadership project. Vicki attended Harmony Vineyard church, where the Senior Pastor, John Brown, had made a promise at a Promise Keepers meeting that his church would do something in “Africa”. Vicki was given several different options for a project in Africa. She chose an old book of orphans from Mufulira, Zambia. This book had been collecting dust on the shelves of one of Harmony Vineyards Pastors. Vicki proceeded to begin a small project to get these few orphans “Sponsored”. Like a mini- Compassion International. She quickly got sponsors for several of the orphans and a few widows.
