Equipping Leaders to Impact a City in Zambia

Why?

It takes a movement to change a city. In Kitwe (the third-largest city in Zambia), Kitwe City Christian Ministers Fellowship (KCCMF) is leading this movement. But reaching Kitwe’s population of over 700,000 will take more than a few new converts.

KCCMF seeks to build a network of healthy churches across Kitwe by encouraging, equipping, and empowering healthy leaders. KCCMF provides these pastors and minsters with leadership and church management training, empowering them to be effective witnesses for Christ in Kitwe. The goal is to make disciples who then make other disciples.

However, the challenges are great. Most KCCMF members operate churches without formal church buildings. Only 1 in 9 pastors in the network own a house. Many must seek a second job to supplement their pastoral income.

How?

Kitwe City Christian Ministers Fellowship’s goal is to create hundreds of points of light rather than a single flame—churches that work in different areas, but all seek God’s will and do his work to reach Kitwe for Christ. To this end, KCCMF seeks to host a leadership event for 600 pastors and minsters. Through a series of workshops, Bibles and other biblical materials will be provided for training fellowship members.

Oasis desires to equip these 600 leaders with Africa Study Bibles. By providing these pastors and ministers with this life-changing resource, Christians across Kitwe will be prepared to become powerful witnesses for Christ in their city.

Funding Needs

The 600 pastors will each contribute $5 towards a copy of their ASB. For every $15.00 contributed in additional funds, another pastor will be equipped to impact hundreds of believers in Kitwe.

In order to meet the greatest need possible, your gift will first be used for this opportunity. However, if this goal is already met, your gift will go to support the entire mission of the God's Word for Africa program.
