| People sometimes go out to Zambia to help out with community projects that Dayspring Christian Ministries is running. Sue Chapman has a number of connections with UK churches. A team visited from The Family Church Christchurch to help to build a playground and to some health education - two midwives were on the team. One of those midwives regularly visits Zambia to take out medical supplies and to continue with the health education among the local people. Presently there are two gap year students with Sue Chapman who are running adult literacy classes.

As well as numerous building, health and school projects, Dayspring also helps in the community in the following ways: Seed loans: A seed loan project was set up to give people drought resistant maize to grow. This even gave a good harvest during the severe drought of 2003. In Chikoloma the church has been given 2.5 hectares of land on which to grow maize and cotton. This helps to support some of the charity workers and also provides local employment. Water: Dayspring has been active in helping to provide wells or boreholes in Kapela, Chikoloma and Mukubela. These make a big difference to people living nearby as they now don’t have to walk a long way to fetch water. Training: Dayspring sponsors the training of adults at Bible College, and at Teacher Training College. Dayspring Christian Ministries also trains church leadership teams so that they can be more effective in serving the members of their churches. |
