Wider links

Zambia

We have developed a good friendship and strong ministry links with Dayspring Worship Centre in Kitwe, led by Joseph & Lillian Mwila. They lead a church of several hundred in Kitwe and have planted out others around the Copperbelt area of Zambia. Together with apostolic ministry from Newfrontiers in South Africa we have helped these churches to become part of the Newfrontiers family.

The church in Kitwe is very active in reaching out to the poor and needy, in particular through the Streetlife Project. As well as a feeding program for 100 or so of the most needy children they have two residential centres: the Grace Centre for 20 boys and the Faith Centre for 20 girls. Here they are not just given food & clothing but are being cared for in a secure & loving family atmosphere, and discipled as part of a faith-filled church. Out of this the children now have growing aspirations to make the most of their lives.

Many people from Bolton Family Church, including some of the Youth, are sponsoring these children to pay for their educational needs such as school fees and uniform. We have also developed projects that create employment and help the church in Kitwe to generate its own funds, with the goal of lifting many people out of poverty and into a place of dignity.

Newfrontiers is a worldwide family of churches together on a mission, currently over 850 churches worldwide. With a passionate commitment to build the church according to New Testament principles.
