Overview

Join Maranatha in Zambia and help us build a new church for the Sikaunzwe community.

Zambia has long been a beautiful place for tourists, with natural sights and wonders pervading the country. However, in recent years, the focus of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Zambia has been its explosive membership growth. From 2011 to 2024, membership more than doubled. One example is the Sikaunzwe church with 60 members currently worshipping in a government school classroom. You can now be part of that mission story, going to Zambia and giving the people in Sikaunzwe, a place to worship.
