Hope Children's Center - Zambia

Orphan Care and Pastor Training - April, 2010

The team of six Brooksiders who were in Zambia have returned from their trip. Click here to read their blog and see great pictures of their pastor training and orphan care.

The Hope Center
Africa is being ravaged by AIDS. In Zambia, the UN estimates that roughly 20% of the adults (ages 15-49) are already HIV+. As the adults die from the disease, they leave children abandoned as orphans in a country too poor to provide adequate assistance. AIDS is the greatest humanitarian crisis of our day and Africa has been the epicenter of the tragedy. There are over 12,000,000 orphans in sub-Sahara Africa because of AIDS. But it is into this suffering, that Christians can show up to demonstrate the depth of the love of Jesus. It is this compassion that is motivating Brookside to take an offering for the construction of the building to care for orphans in Serenje, Zambia.
