Zambia boasts one of the seven wonders of the world: the rushing heights of Victoria Falls, known as “the smoke that thunders”. It’s an entirely landlocked nation, touching eight sister countries and home to seventy-three tribes who speak twenty different languages.
Zambia became an independent nation in 1964 after years of British colonial rule. Since then, the economy has grown, but the Zambian people still suffer from poverty, short life expectancy, malnourishment, lack of clean water, and the AIDS crisis. Christianity is the official religion in Zambia, but the local church needs support for a solid biblical foundation to raise up the next generation.
Ministry: Adventures partners with a ministry called JZone in Zambia. JZone works with various Churches both in urban and rural areas of Southern Province, Zambia, equipping and training the body of Christ. Your team will work alongside JZone in one or several, of their ministry opportunities:
- Kids Ministry: Teach children the truth of Jesus during their Awana Program and outreach ministry.
- School ministry: We work in partnership with Scripture Union, working with youth in schools.
- Orphan Ministry: We have a heart reaching and empowering orphans with the love of Jesus and teaching them to know their truest identity in Jesus, and work with several surrounding orphanages.
- Medical Missions: In partnership with the ministry of health, we take basic medical care to most remote communities and also help them develop health posts into medical clinics, teaching rural communities about health, development and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Widows ministry: We work with a group of widows, empowering them with business skills and the word of God. We also support several of them and respond to various disasters that happen to them. We repair their homes, or build homes for them. We primarily work with the Tonga and Lozi speaking people.
Will you partner with God’s heart for Zambia?
