Base Ministry has enjoyed a long term partnership with Awana in Zambia. They were one of the first locations that accepted teams back when Youth Missions International was forming, and we recently sent a team to train alongside them. Both ministries are committed to developing leaders who will live and share their faith in Jesus throughout Zambia and all of Africa!
They have been desiring to train leaders to use sports specifically as a ministry tool. They have churches throughout Zambia that could run sports camps with a little bit of training, and then also have an opportunity to teach morality and physical education in the public schools. We were excited to see how God was using Awana in Zambia and accepted the invitation to minister alongside them to churches in Lusaka and Chingola.
One of the trainers, Amanda Boudon (Base Ministry’s Program Specialist) put together this video to give a bit of context for what happened while they were there. To read more about one of the trainee’s named Humphrey, how this training impacted his heart, and to get regular updates on our partnership with Zambia please subscribe to our Base Ministry Epistle Page here!
