Dear Friends,

I recently received an update from Reverend Gilbert Mwamba, who heads the New Life Community School and Orphanage in Zambia.

This is a fabulous project that Reverend Gilbert has been a part of for many years. It offers discipleship courses to the inmates detained in Zambia prisons, many of which are on death row, and FREE education to their children, who are now classed as orphans.

Reverend Gilbert says that although their work is spiritually rewarding, they do find it quite difficult at times due to an obvious lack of funding. Therefore it is for this reason that Reverend Gilbert hopes the international community, individuals, churches and other christian and non-christian organisations might offer some support financially, spiritually and materially.

Reverend Gilbert has received a number of new applications from prisoners who want their children to be adopted into this orphanage. There is a great need for this service in Zambia due to the over population of the prisons and poverty. Unfortunately, Reverend Gilbert doesn't have enough resources to house all the children who would benefit greatly in the care of the New Life Community School. The project's resources are extremely limited and the building they currently use is in desperate need of repair. Without support, these orphans will not have any opportunity to break the cycle and as a result, may themselves become future offenders due to lack of education, family care and poverty.

The children you see in the photos are all orphans whose parents are on death row. Reverend Gilbert and his team would like to expand their services to support other children who are in desperate need but their current funding does not allow this. Please support this project directly if you can and help a child have a future!

Reverend Gilbert has expressed his sincere gratitude to anyone who can assist and apprecitates your prayers and support! If anyone would like to support this very worthwhile project then please contact me or contact Reverend Gilbert directly on email: [email protected] Please let him know how you heard of his project and if you can, please give generously!
