The primary purpose of this ministry is to show God's love to the kids and youth living on the street of Lusaka, Zambia.
On a weekly basis, members of the local church go out into the streets to love, teach, feed and clothe kids and youth living on the streets. Every Sunday morning, the church members rent buses, travel the streets and bring these homeless kids to church. At church, the kids are loved, prayed for, taught the Gospel, fed, clothed and supported in various ways. We run special initiatives to help the younger kids get off the streets and into schools and homes. We also come alongside the older kids to help them gain skills, start businesses and gain employment.
Our core belief is that the single most important part of what we do is to introduce every street child, youth and young adult to Jesus Christ. We have seen that true change that comes from knowing Jesus Christ. On a weekly basis, members of the local church are feeding, clothing, teaching, loving and caring for kids and youth living in the streets of Lusaka, Zambia. God's love is being poured into these kids - giving them dignity, education and opportunities that are bringing them out of the streets.
Our heart for this ministry is based on Matthew 25:34-40. "...I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me... ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (NLT)"
