W HY ZAMBIA? Located in Sub-Saharan Africa, Zambia is a nation that has experienced the devastation of HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. The impact of this has resulted in a population largely comprised of children. With a population of over 21.70 million people, 4 2 % of Zambia’s population is age 14 or under. At Family Legacy, we seek to serve the most vulnerable of these children through inviting them to experience the hope of Christ and providing a transformative education.
" I believe that the leadership required of me during Camp Life has been very transformative in me, and I am excited to take back these newfound qualities and implement them in my daily life in the United States. Having to be in charge of 9 boys of different ages taught me about servant leadership and putting their needs first; as well as patience with a very active 5-year-old. I also got out of my comfort zone and enjoyed singing and doing motions to camp songs. Another area that was new to me was allowing kids to climb all over me or to sit in my lap. Most mornings I went to the field/play area very early and reserved my group’s table for the day. I did my devotional and ate breakfast about forty- five minutes before I would go up to the Legacy Center for a morning worship with my Zambian partners. This was the time of day where I would feel the closest to God. Worshipping with believers from another culture was awesome. I hope that I never forget how humbled I was this week in realizing how much I have to be grateful for and not complaining about my circumstances. "
