Missions
Our VBS offering this year is going to support an orphan-care organization called Family Legacy Missions International, working in Zambia, Africa. Family Legacy owns and operates 21 Christian schools throughout the capital city of Lusaka, and it is through these schools that they provide an education, medical care, discipleship, counseling, and a hot meal every day to vulnerable and orphaned children. They serve 11,000 vulnerable children in these 21 schools! Family Legacy also owns and operates a 100-acre full-time residential care facility for the most vulnerable children in our program that need a safe place to stay for a while. They currently serve an additional 500 children at this facility.
Our VBS offering will be put toward the specific need of providing new school uniforms for the children who need them the most. Every $20 we raise will buy a new uniform for a child, including a dress shirt, a warm sweater, dress pants for the boys, and a dress/skirt for the girls. Uniforms are mandatory. That is why so many children in Zambia cannot go to school, because even though school is technically free in Zambia, many children can't afford uniforms, text books, etc., which are all required to go to school.
It's Boys VS Girls! The team that brings in the most $$$ will put a pie in the face of one of our missionaries! Who will win? The Boys or the Girls? The kids can bring their money in each night to add to the excitement.
