one busy final day!

LifeSong School

Today was packed full of meaningful encounters—meeting new people and reuniting with old friends.

We left Lifesong Guest House around 9 AM after a delicious breakfast and coffee. Our first stop was the business headquarters of Lifesong, where we were warmly welcomed and then escorted to one of their main schools, home to around 700 students. These children come from surrounding areas and have been identified as some of the most vulnerable in the region.

One of the most inspiring things we learned was that all staff members are required to be Christian, and their core values are rooted in teaching children how to build a personal relationship with Jesus while receiving an excellent education or vocational training. Some children live on campus due to being orphaned or because of unstable home environments.

Our team split up to serve in various ways—some helped serve lunch to students and staff, while others assisted at the on-campus health clinic. It was incredibly rewarding to witness the faithfulness and selflessness of the Lifesong staff, who truly embody being the hands, feet, and heart of God. Their commitment to excellence in both care and education was deeply moving. Before leaving, we were able to bless them in return by donating a much-needed box of medications, malaria test kits, and rehydration packets.

Children at Chilabula Farm

Next, we drove to Chilabula Village to visit Leonard’s farm. Leonard oversees a large area where he raises pigs, chickens, goats, and a variety of crops. What’s even more remarkable is his ministry—he hosts a group of young adults who live in dorms on the property. These young people are growing in their knowledge of Jesus and learning how to share the Gospel through music, sign language, and leading Christian camps for children.

We brought gifts for the children, including pillowcase dresses, t-shirts, “shoes that grow,” toys, and over 100 school backpacks filled with supplies. The children responded with songs, laughter, and radiant smiles that filled our hearts with joy.

Throughout the day, we were continually inspired by the hospitality we received and the growth we witnessed—both spiritually and practically. From the warm welcome to the powerful communication of love through acts of service and worship, we left each place feeling blessed and inspired.

As we said farewell, there was a strong sense that this day was not just about giving—it was about mutual encouragement, shared faith, and seeing how God is at work in extraordinary ways in Zambia.
