God

Anitha and I just came back to

Zambia after a wonderful and

very productive trip to the

USA. This year we had meet-

ings in several locations—

from a Spanish Church in New

Orleans, to immigrant

Churches in Washington DC,

to a visit at Billy Graham's

headquarters in Charlotte.

Indeed, the variety of meet-

ings was great, and this is

exactly a part of Dream Facto-

ry`s vision - to serve the body

of Christ, preach the good

news about Jesus Christ and

stir up the hearts from all de-

nominations and cultures.

In our meetings we saw God’s

hand move—many people

were transformed and en-

couraged by God’s love.

What a great joy and privi-

lege it was to be part of God’s

plan! Furthermore, we were

very encouraged to see how

people responded to Dream

Factory`s work here in Zam-

bia. We strongly believe that

in the future, we will be even

more closely connected with

our international partners in

meeting the Dream of helping

people.

To all our American

friends, remember that you

Interview with former IT students by Mortson B Kasoma

A:We are

highly moti-

vated now that

we have this

as our starting

point. We

hope to up-

grade and

take up spe-

cialized com-

puter courses

whenever we

can afford it in

the future.

Even applying for jobs has become more

encouraging as this certificate will carry

more weight to potential employers. As

for me (Gift) it is the first time I have

had a certificate with my name on it

(aside from my high school certificate). I

am very motivated to get many more

such certificates to help me get a good

job.

Raymond and Gift, among others, have

been part of the previous intake for com-

puter lessons at Dream Factory Zambia. I

had an opportunity to meet them when

they came to the Dream House to collect

their graduation certificates.

Q:What was the most exciting thing about

taking IT lessons at Dream House?

A:Seeing

desktop

icons that

previously

meant noth-

ing to me

and now

mean some-

thing has

been excit-

ing. We

have always

wanted to

understand how Microsoft Excel worked

after the initial introduction and our

knowledge at present gives us confi-

dence to work out few mathematical

problems using MS Excel application.

The assignments were also a great tool in

helping us broaden our understanding as

this gave us more time to explore more

on specific IT topics on own.

Q:Has the participation in the IT lessons

changed your perception of how you look

at things?

A:It has changed us in a great way. We

have realized that IT is used almost every

day and in all kinds of activities that we

have always taken for granted. In the first

place and before we undertook IT lessons

with Dream Factory, IT looked complicat-

ed and now it seem easy to understand.

Q:How are you motivated now that you

have completed your IT lessons?

ENFYS Youth Program: Nine years ago, Pastor and Mrs. Joseph

Bwalya founded ENFYS Foundation in

Murundu, rural Mufulira, near the Congo

boarder post. In spite of youth having a

zeal for sports activities, there isn’t much

to do and some youth find themselves

playing such games as chess right into

late hours of the night. The youth popula-

tion in this area stands at 80% with most

of them subject to early marriages, pros-

titution and drug abuse.

Recently, Dream Factory was approached

by Fred Kashimoto and Mr. Kampamba,

the District Sports Officer in Mufulira, with

the request of extending the Adopt-a-

Club concept to Mufulira. We are happy

to announce that we have agreed and we

will start two clubs in August in the area.

It is the first time we are adopting clubs

outside Ndola. We are excited and look

forward to stretching our reach to under-

privileged and marginalized youth. Here

are some details about each club:

Kashimoto Academy: Kashimoto Academy, stands out in Mufuli-

ra as one of the best. The football club

trains at Mufulira Secondary School and

so far, the academy has built great rela-

tionships with both the parents and the

school at which it trains from.

Kashimoto Academy boasts of having

successfully built the under 12, 15, 17, 20

year old groups amidst challenging cir-

cumstances, hence the appeal to partner

with Dream Factory Zambia.

Fred Kashimoto is the found-

er and trainer for Kashimoto

Academy based in central

Mufulira.

He is former Zambian nation-

al team player and has been

recently appointed to help in

coaching the Mighty Mufulira

Wanderers, one of the divi-

sion one teams in Zambia.

bless you all.

Dream Factory Zambia Ministries has felt

God encouraging us to hold citywide

crusades in Zambia.

Under DFZM’s initiative, this important

task has been scheduled to take place in

Ndola at Newlife Mushili grounds the

22nd to 25th May 2013.

We are very excited to announce that

plans have reached an advanced stage as

we anticipate multitudes of souls to be

harvested for the Lord.

At the same time, Dream Factory Zambia

Ministries is also warming up for another

crusade in Twapia a compound in Ndola

planned for July this year. The Crusade in

July will be unique as it shall run in tan-

dem with the afternoon children's crusa-

de, conducted in partnership with a team

from a Danish church. We can also

encourage you to check out the

Ministries website that has been

updates with Crusade video clips,

and much more. Updates and pictu-
