The Journey

Late 1995—A request was made to develop a 5 acre piece of property for an

orphanage.

1997—Kitwe City Council

agreed to allow the property to

be developed for the project.

The long range design plan was

to meet the following needs:

• Provide a school for grades

1-9

• Housing for approximately

120 children

• A medical clinic to minister

to the orphans

• An administration block

• A multipurpose building for large group meetings and activities

• Housing for staff and short term volunteers

Also, a monetary gift was given with which a stove was purchased. They used

the stove to bake bread for sale. The profits went toward the start of a security

wall around the orphanage.

1998-99—Classes were offered through grade 2 after charitable organizations

offered to help with books and materials. A small security building was built and

used as a classroom.

July 2000—Rev. Chanda bid $3000 (he had $0) on a plot that had an asking price

of $12,500. His bid was accepted! God provided $9000! The plot was purchased

and the 6000 sq. ft. building was completely renovated and repaired. It is the

Chande Baptist Orphanage Training Center.

Jan 2001—230 Children attend grades 1-5 at the Chande Baptist Orphanage

Training Center.

Today—There are over 1,000,000 orphans in Zambia. The school has now

expanded to grades K-9 and there are 400 children, including 170 orphans in the

Chande Baptist Orphanage School. Volunteer teams from First Baptist Church in

McLean, Virginia have helped to train Chande teachers on several occasions.

Inglewood Baptist Church in Grand Prairie, Texas have led Holiday Bible study for

the last several years. In addition, 15 children are being supported through the

orphanage ministry who go to public schools (grade 10-12.) Attendance to

public school for Higher grades is only available to those children who can pay.

An Exciting Outreach

The Chande Orphanage Ministry

God is doing great things through the efforts of the Chande Baptist Orphanage

Project.

In February 2006, the orphanage ministry sought the help of the local villagers to

help build a school in a rural area 12 miles outside of Kitwe. There are now 100

children in attendance, many

of whom had never attended

school.

A volunteer team from

Inglewood Baptist Church

worked with Rev. Chanda to

witness in the area and a new

church has been started there

in the school building in the

village.

In addition, a second school

has been started in Maposa,

Zambia and as a result of this

ministry the villagers have asked that a Baptist Church be started after seeing the

caring heart of the Baptists working with their children.

In 2005, Pastor Chanda took a team of men and ladies to Congo to conduct

crusades. Volunteers from College Heights Baptist Church in Casper, Wyoming

conducted training and discipleship in 2007 and 2008 for Congolese pastors.

They have also helped with the orphanage building projects and raised funds for

a brick making machine.

In 2009 a team of volunteers from

Inglewood Baptist Church led training

for Pastors in Congo, and also

ministered to the Twabwa tribe, an

unreached people group.

As a result of Pastor Chanda’s initial

outreach missions and the outreach

of volunteer teams from churches in

the U.S., there are now more than 40

churches in Congo.

Over 1 million orphans in Zambia

“Who will be my father?”

In 1995, Rev. Patrick Chanda attended

the funeral for a member of his church

and heard the man’s son cry out,

“Who will be my father?” The Lord

impressed Rev. Chanda to go to the

boy and tell him that God is a “Father

to the fatherless” and that he would

be his father.

During this time, Rev. Chanda became aware that 25% of the

population of Zambia was infected with HIV/AIDS and many were dying.

Two churches began helping 50 orphans with school fees, food, and

clothing. However, at the end of the day they had no place for the

children to stay. As

the number of

orphans began to

grow Chamboli

Baptist Church and

Ndeke Baptist

church, where Rev.

Chanda served as

pastor, decided to

commit to an

orphanage project.

The Commitment

Prayer Requests for The Chande Project

• Pray for Rev. Patrick Chanda and the Board that plans for and

directs the orphanage.

• Pray for the teachers at the Chande School as they teach the

children.

• Pray for the new school that has been started in the rural area.

• Pray for the development of ministry in the neighboring country

of Congo among two unreached people groups that have been

impacted by the Chande Baptist Orphanage partnership. There

are 34 New churches in Congo that came about largely through

the influence of the Orphanage team ministry.

• Pray for the new churches that have come from the outreach

ministry of the Orphanage Project and local churches sponsor-

ing the Orphanage into the neighboring country of Congo.

What does $30 a month cover?

This covers primary school education at

Chande Baptist Orphanage School,

food, clothing, and medical care. For

children in grades 10—12 to attend the

government school, they must be able

to pay $100 per year. If they do not

have the funds they are not allowed to

continue their education. Supporters

are welcomed to give more if

they feel led.

How much is needed to complete the

building project for the orphanage?

The facility that will house orphaned

children is still under construction, ap-

proximately $15,000 is needed to finish

the building project and make the facil-

ity suitable for housing children.

How can I correspond with the child I

support or with Rev. Chanda?

referencing a specific child, please, note
