His missionary involvement in Zambia began when the Chambersburg congregation became involved in supporting the work of Charles Phiri in Siavonga, Zambia in 1995-1996. In 1998 the Chambersburg church raised funds to build a church building for the Siavonga church of Christ.  In 1999 Charles traveled to Zambia to help dedicate the new building.
