Amazing Grace, AFRICA originally began as Children Concerned, Inc. in 2005. It was started by the Zackey family after they witnessed firsthand the devastation in Africa, particularly Liberia. They worked with Liberian orphans/orphanages from 2005-2008 and in 2009 reorganized the ministry, renaming it Amazing Grace, AFRICA knowing that God’s heart was for what the prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah 58, particularly verse 7. The ministry has expanded beyond simply orphans to include ministering to the needs of the fatherless, the widows, prisoners, families and communities in Liberia; but the larger purpose of their ministry is to positively affect the American church to get involved in caring for the widow, poor, prisoners and fatherless. They travel regularly and speak in American churches, schools, to civic groups and youth groups; sharing their stories and songs. The Zackeys are working on telling their story in book form; due out in …2010, and the African children have just completed a CD of songs from their native countries entitled, “Tears in My Eyes."

“We saw how affected the children were from the destruction the war left behind, and how urgent the need was for poor widows and families to have help surviving. Many exist in conditions that they have no power to change – but we can help them! We have committed ourselves; this is our life’s work. It is what God has called us to do.

We believe there is an urgent need to provide assistance to improve the conditions of the orphaned children. and to promote the love of Christ and share the gospel to the nations. ”

The Zackey family consists of Tom and Candy, and their 17 children. 9 are biological, 2 are from the nation of Sierra Leone and 6 are from Liberia. They call Newstead, NY their home when they are not in Africa; and run the ministry from there, along with continuing to home educate their children.
