The Harp Family

We are the Harps from Dalhart, TX and have 5 children (1 girl, 4 boys) and one fantastic grandson! Shelly traveled to Project Canaan in Eswatini in 2012 and again in 2013 and came home with a heart for Africa. Four years later, we found ourselves called to move to Eswatini for 3 months with the 3 youngest (Nate, Sam, and Eli) of our 5 children!

After only a short time on Project Canaan, we knew we were to move to Eswatini for a longer term. The Harp boys love being big brothers to all the kids and babies! As a family, we love delivering food and clothing in the surrounding communities, building relationships and tangibly seeing the impact Heart For Africa is making in this broken but beautiful place. We pray we can breathe hope and love into the lives of the children at Project Canaan.

 

We cannot take this journey alone! We ask that you partner with us in the following ways:

PRAY! Pray for us DAILY! Pray for the boys to adjust to our new life and the family we leave behind. Pray protection from illness, for our safety and the wisdom to walk humbly and minister the way God leads in every situation. 

GIVE! Your financial support will enable us to commit to serve for one year at Project Canaan. We ask that you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly donor in support of our mission here.  You can have your monthly donation recur by checking the box.   You can also do this as a one-time gift. It is tax deductible and any amount will make an impact! 

GO! Come and serve with us at Project Canaan! Look at the trips available and use your talents and love to serve others.
