Join us for a family evening at Saint Michael and learn about God’s work with people and nature – specifically with elephants!

Dallasites Debra Stevens and her husband Scott Jackson have been trekking to Africa since 2000. Over the years, they fell in love with the villagers and wildlife, But it was on a visit to Abu Camp in Botswana in 2013, when Debra met a 6-month-old orphaned elephant named Naledi, that her life changed. The connection between them was instantaneous and a lifelong bond was formed – the embodiment of a spiritual connection between man and nature.

It was in 2017 that Bee, then an elephant handler at Abu Camp who had worked to save Naledi, decided there needed to be a place dedicated to rescuing orphaned and abandoned babies in Botswana. He brought the idea to his good friends and fellow elephant lovers, Debra and Scott. This led the three of them to co-found the non-profit Elephant Havens Wildlife Foundation and build the only sanctuary of its kind in Botswana. This is a mission that was truly founded by love for elephants by the three of them and has taken them on a journey grounded in faith.  Debra will be joining us to tell their story.

Kathy Wise, editorial director for D Magazine and national award winning-journalist, will serve as our moderator for the evening.  She fell in love with the elephants and the cause when she first traveled to Elephant Havens, writing and article for D Magazine and sharing this special place with our Dallas community.
