In 2010, Zambia had a population of 13 million. 86% of those deem themselves Christians and almost 9% profess ethnoreligiosity (ethnic groups whose members share a common religious history, i.e. Jews, Copts, etc.). Christianity is widely accepted in this country surrounded by chaos. 86% of Zambia's people live in poverty, causing an extreme rate of child malnourishment, lack of clean water, and severe illiteracy (90%). Many of Zambia's greatest minds and talent emigrate to other countries, leaving Zambia in need of those skills. Churches are hit or miss here, mainly due to a disconnect between African culture and Christianity. AIDS is always a crisis in Africa, and is no different here, causing over 710,000 orphans. Leadership training is desperately needed; there are still pockets of groups that have not heard the Gospel. Witchcraft and sorcery, Isalm, and Jehovah's Witnesses are constantly combated here, hampering spiritual growth.
For the safety and security of these missionaries, last names have been abbreviated.

Christopher M.
A godly church-planting pastor/evangelist, has been humbly ministering throughout his country from the highest places in the government to the lowest and poorest people in the land. He is actively training and raising up young leaders to build the body of Christ and reach the lost. He helps to run an Orphan feeding program and center, a community garden and has been involved recently in conducting large non-denominational crusades. He has been directly involved in village evangelism where he has seen marriages saved, and conducted funeral serves where even soldiers have received salvation. This poverty-stricken land has so many needs.
