In this newsletter, I would like to share about our new initiatives in Zambia in Central Africa – the first time Mission Possible UK has supported a ministry in this country . This is special to me as I worked in Zambia from 1973 to 1978 and became a Christian there due to the witness of Zambian Christians.

Nightmarish life on the streets.

Our street team reached out to help Lena, who, in spite of her young age, had experienced all the horrors of street life.

The Bulgarian Roma (also known as gypsies) are among the poorest people on the continent. Their families are large,but the children are often neglected. Few Roma children complete public school, and at ten years of age, full responsibility for the care of younger siblings often falls on the shoulders of the oldest.
Mission Possible’s five soup kitchens, which operate out of Roma churches, help 250 hungry children on a regular basis. In addition to providing meals, we teach Christian Sunday school lessons and offer professional courses for young adults. Read More ...
