We are blessed to give you an update from Lifesong Zambia from Leslie Ringger,
Our new school year began with 2 new grades and 4 new teachers. We are also very excited to introduce a new curriculum that emphasizes Biblical teaching.

The rainy season is in full swing bringing with it a wave of malaria to our students and staff at Lifesong School. What a blessing to be able to provide free medical care to all at our school.
~
We currently have 4 boys living with a foster family on campus. Because of this program they have been taken out of homes of abuse/neglect and are given a chance to learn what a healthy family looks and feels like.
~
In the next few weeks we will be introducing our Caregiver Empowerment Program where our students’ caretakers will have the opportunity to learn skills such as:
- Vaseline making
- Dying fabrics
- Clay working
~Last term ended with a special Christmas performance. Over 120 parents and caretakers showedup for the event to give their children support. The event was a hit with a christmas play, songs, and a little dancing just for fun.
"God sent you...and you don't know how much we can sleep now and how the stress has left us. Thanks be to God that He heard us, and sent you."

To give different this year. To give the love of Jesus. Visit our Lifesong for Orphans Gifts of Purpose Catalog.
This summer has provided an abundance of visitors at Lifesong School in Zambia. From mission trips to individual volunteers donating their time, our kids have been blessed by the loving presence of some stellar people!
Two of these visitors share their perspective from visiting Lifesong Zambia:
“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
After spending even the smallest amount of time at Lifesong School in Zambia, it’s easy to understand the heart of Jesus as those words left his mouth.
The enthusiasm at Lifesong is contagious; from the oldest in Grade 5 to the smallest in the baby class. Their smiles made teaching VBS lessons and skits for the week not only easy, but also rewarding.

My time in Zambia has changed me forever. To see what Lifesong is doing not only in the kids’ lives but also the parents as well was really amazing. By bringing in new parents every 3 months to work at the farm or at the school, Lifesong is giving the parents an opportunity… not only to hear the Gospel in Bible studies, but also to SEE it in the way David, Luke, Lucy, Albertina, and the other teachers live out Christ on a daily basis.
