Father's Heart Sponsorship Program

Although it is hard to leave the kids in Zambia, it is comforting to know that we have the chance to still make a difference once we get back to America through finding sponsors for each child in our group.


The “Father’s Heart” sponsorship program allows you to personally sponsor kids that were in our group at Camp Life this year. The cost is $85 one time and $40/month. This money will provide 100% of the child’s education expenses, the expense of having a Zambian Family Legacy staff member disciple these kids on a weekly basis, and access to the Community Resource Center in their community. 

To show the tangible difference this makes here are two contrasting stories of kids who were in Brian's group a few years ago, Nyambe and Jackson.

Nyambe came to Camp Life in 2007 and like most everyone in Zambia, his family is extremely poor. Unfortunately I was not able to find him a sponsor in 2007 and he has not been able to go to school since then. Nyambe trusted Christ for salvation, but because he is not sponsored, he has not received continued discipleship. He is 12 years old and works every day busting up rocks to be made into cinder blocks.

Jackson also came to Camp Life for the first time in 2007. He didn’t speak any English at that time and wasn’t doing well in school. God provided a sponsor for him, and his life couldn’t be more different. He has since skipped two grades and is number one in his class. He speaks fluent English and aspires to be an accountant. He has received continued discipleship, and his biggest prayer is that he would be able to help his younger brothers and sisters get through school.

We have no intention to motivate through guilt, we only want to share with each of you a chance to use the resources God has given you to push back the darkness in Zambia. Together, we have 14 kids that need to be sponsored. Below is a collage of the 5 kids that we think are the most vulnerable. If you are interested in learning more about these kid’s stories and the possibility of sponsoring them, please email me (tayloro84@yahoo.com) or go to the Father's Heart website.
