Zambia

Every year, we take one week to focus on each of the three areas around the globe. Starting February 19 our focus turns toward the country of Zambia. Below are a few ways to take part in Zambia Focus Week.

Zambian Dinner 

 

24 Hour Prayer Vigil for Zambia

Join us as we intercede for the people of Zambia, those living with HIV/AIDS, those without access to clean water and our partners in Choma. Sign up for your one hour time slot in the lobby at Engedi, or just take an hour and pray.

Tom Davis, CEO of Children’s HopeChest and author of Red Letters, will share at our worship gathering on Sunday, February 26. Tom works to inspire others to find their place in orphan ministry and give themselves to the poor and impoverished children of the world. Read his bio here.

In the country of Zambia, approximately 300 people continue to die each day from the AIDS virus. While the virus spreads throughout Zambia, the family structure and stability is progressively weakened and countless children have become orphaned. This country, roughly the size of Texas, has about 750,000 orphans—that’s more orphans than any other country in the world. Engedi is committed to a one-on-one partnership with the Valley View Care Givers Club and Choma Central Pilgrim Wesleyan Church in Choma, Zambia. Together we are working to develop the Choma community through local enterprise, community health, sustainable living programs, education and awareness. Our hope is that together we can alleviate suffering and injustice and spread the love of Christ throughout the community.

We also partners with Living Water International to bring clean drinking water to Zambia through Thirst. Living Water International is a faith-based organization dedicated to bring water—and the living water of Christ—to thirsty people in areas of greatest need. That’s something we can all get behind.
