  Charles and Sarah West Zambia ABC-USA IM Ministries
PLEASE NOTE
Sarah and Charles West are missionaries of American Baptist International Ministries (IM). Since 1997, they have served in South Africa and in Zambia. They finished their service in Zambia in mid-2012. They are currently in transition, working with God and IM staff to discern their next place of service. Three months after the West's departure, IM suspended its partnerships in Zambia. During the suspension, IM and the West's cannot serve as channels to support ministries in Zambia. However, Charles and Sarah continue their active service as IM missionaries. They--and all the personnel of IM--are grateful for your continued support of Charles and Sarah!

You can support the missionary service of Sarah and Charles West by donating on-line via their ABC-IM website profile-page, OR by mailing a check made out to "International Ministries" (with a check-note of "For support of Charles & Sarah West") to:

About the West Family

Family PhotoCharles and Sarah West were commissioned as International Ministries- American Baptist Churches USA (ABC USA) missionaries in 1997.  Prior to commissioning, Charles served as pastor of First Baptist Church in Belmont, NH.

Charles and Sarah served as missionaries in partnership with the Baptist Convention of South Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they lived with their three younger children Chasah, Caleb and Charliese for 8 years, while their two older children Candace and Charles II remained in the U.S. attending Princeton and Georgia Tech universities, respectively. Candace has now completed a PhD, and is lecturing at Stanford University in California, and Charles II has completed his MBA and is currently working as an Information Technologist Specialist and lives in Atlanta, Georgia. The three younger children on the field mission in Zambia are teenaged high school students.

All of the Wests, in Zambia, have a passion for ministering and seeing God's people change through His word:

  • Charles, currently lecturing at the newly-opened Zambia International Theological College (ZITC) also preaches, does leadership development conferences, and evangelistic meetings in most of the nine Zambian Provinces.
  • Sarah works with orphans and at-risk children reintegrating them into school, carries out ministries with women helping to empower and encourage them through study of scripture and initiates sustainable, income generating, projects that assist the women and their families.
  • The younger West children on the Zambia field are also involved in ministry to youth in Baptist Convention of Zambia partner churches, develop support projects for local children to reenter Zambia Government Schools, and they participate in ministry and the work of visiting mission teams.
