A Word from Our Leaders.
Note From the Founders
A personal touch from Patti Griffiths and Laurence Laban.
Orchestrated by God
Two Cultures, One Unified Vision
God chose to pair two vastly unique individuals from vastly different cultures on opposite sides of the world to create Next Life Foundation. Together, they saw a vision of helping Tanzanian youth trapped in poverty by providing hope for their future through technical education. Even more important, NLF provides the opportunity to bring Christ into their lives.
Please meet the founders of Next Life in the video to learn how Patti and Laurence’s chance meeting was orchestrated by God, and how their callings simply blended from that first moment. Next Life Foundation sprang from Laurence sharing a dream for his people, and it grew from Patti’s positive response to God’s unlikely call. Listen as Patti and Laurence share the story with you.
Our Compassionate Partnership
Bridging Hands and Hearts Across the Globe
Providing usable life skills for young Tanzanians alongside sustained opportunities to utilize those skills is a massive undertaking.
Our Tanzanian Board of Directors has done an incredible job of providing the physical facilities for the school, hiring the staff to manage and teach the students, developing the curriculum, and cultivating a warm, welcoming environment bathed in a gentle Christian atmosphere.
Next Life Foundation America offers supportive guidance and the financial foundation that makes this vital work possible.
The vision is vast and is limited only by the funding made available. We welcome you to become a part of the NLF ministry partnership.
