Thank you in advance for your kind words of support! Please enjoy this update from Shane McBride, Lifesong Zambia Director… We had a wonderful Easter drama organized by Leslie and carried out by each class. As the parents walked through 8 staged dramas, they got to watch their children depict the Easter story.  With pride and enthusiasm the students performed flawlessly.  The parents, brothers, sisters, aunties and uncles all saw the pain of Christ’s death and the power of His resurrection. Stage by stage, they experienced the Easter weekend, starting with the baby class singing an Easter song, to the Grade 8 class singing about the resurrection.  Our 292 students really did a great job.  The drama ended with … Continue reading →

“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’” Matthew 25:40 One Child. One Life. One Soul.An ongoing theme of our ministry is the power of ONE. Not to ignore the often overwhelming 147 million orphan statistic, but to focus on making an impact on ONE child. As Andy Stanley says, “Do for ONE what you wish you could do for every one. And when do you for ONE, you often end up doing for far more than just one.”  Please enjoy these ONE child stories… IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS // Lifesong Zambia In Zambia, like many parts of the world, witchcraft is very prevalent.

Thank you in advance for your kind words of support! Please enjoy this update from Shane McBride, Lifesong Zambia Director… One of the many things I love about our kids here in Zambia is their pure hearts of love for the Father.  Our children KNOW their sponsors and can call them by name.  The power of a sponsor in a child’s life is usually not truly realized until the child actually meets their sponsor.  The children have a love for their sponsors. In the Zambian village, families are more than just aunties and uncles, families consist of a love bond.   This past month, Shadrick (Grade 4) received some terrible news that his sponsor’s husband was hurt really bad … Continue reading →
