Philip Kazhingu coordinates Acts Initiative, a new program designed to encourage and assist local churches in social ministries, with the emphasis on vulnerable children. Philip writes while on his first journey through Zambia for this program.
The program in Choma has really been very successful. Thanks very much for your prayers and thanks to the Almighty God for allowing our dream become a reality. I started by meeting the Pastors in Choma and shared with them the vision Acts Initiative. They received the message wholeheartedly and went flat out to mobilise their Churches. On the other hand, I was requested to speak in a conference, which started the following day after my arrival. The first day I preached and the next day I showed the UBUNTU Documentary, which left a lot of them in tears. Many made a decision to start doing something about the problem at hand. Furthermore, a door was open for me to preach in Choma Pentecostal Church and showed UBUNTU. The response was just great. One woman who runs one of the biggest private schools has offered 10 places for any orphan who will be identified in the community. We did an intensive seminar yesterday which started around 09:00 hrs and ended at 17:00 hrs. Six Churches were represented. Interestingly we had Catholics, Brethren in Christ Church, Pilgrim Church, Wesleyan Church and Pentecostals.
