Mongu: Gifts from Sponsors
Tunisha, Rose, and Maggie were thrilled to receive gifts from their amazing sponsors this week! It’s getting very cold here at VOH Mongu so the girls were really excited to receive jerseys, warm socks, and shoes to wear to school on those cold mornings. The girls were smiling ear to ear and it was such a blessing for all three of them. Thanks to all of our amazing sponsors who make all of this possible!

Mwanza: Giving Back to Our Community
At VOH Mwanza our older youth have been giving back by lending a hand with projects. They are helping paint and finish our new Pre-school at the VOH Bulale site and they also lend a hand in our community.
They recently helped re-paint and do some small repairs at the local Police Station. The Police Station was in bad shape and so VOH Mwanza bought the supplies and our youth did all the labour. It’s great to have our young people serving in the community!
VOH Children Receive Boxes of Love!
Each year, congregations from multiple churches across British Columbia fill shoeboxes with various items including school supplies, toys, candy, and clothes. These “Boxes of Love” are packed in a container and shipped to Zambia, where they are distributed to rural areas across the country and to the children of VOH Chongwe, Kitwe, and Mongu.
This was Christian Life Assembly’s 15th year facilitating Boxes of Love and we are so grateful for their commitment to this project! Read More

Kenya: Giving Out Bibles
At our Sunday School program for VOH Kenya, we were able to hand out Bibles to every child and youth attending. We handed out 150 Bibles in total! The children are diligently learning to look up Scriptures, following along in their new Bibles with the teachings. We already had reports back from the community, that the children are reading their Bibles every night at home!

Kitwe: Boxes of Love Arrive!
The Boxes Of Love container arrived at VOH Kitwe over the weekend! When the children came to school on Monday, they found it and were so excited! We as staff love seeing our kids so happy!
We are grateful to the Christian Life Assembly Church in Langley, BC for mobilising a container annually to send Boxes of Love, school supplies, and clothing for the children. Thank you also to all the churches and individuals who participated in gathering the items and preparing the boxes that are sent.
