We were blessed to be able to teach, serve, and play with around 350 children from the Kanyama compound while we were ministering in Lusaka. Kanyama is a slum made up of about 300,000 people living in about a 4 square-mile area. To put that in perspective, there are around 200,000 people living in Montgomery, Alabama, which is about a 156 square-mile area.
We spent four days teaching them about God’s word – that it is true, comforting, and surprising. We enjoyed teaching them new songs about how much God loves them and how his Word can guide their lives. We also enjoyed hearing them sing new songs for us:)
On Saturday, our last day in Kanyama, we celebrated by providing the children with a lunch of nshema, chicken and cabbage. When we finished, and counted our remaining plates, we learned we had fed 355 children.
