Jubilee Centre in Zambia

Last week I preached on Being the Salt of the Earth and the Light of the World and about the mission work being undertaken by the Jubilee Centre in Zambia. Our clergy and church administrator were worshipping at one of the churches in Ndola at the same time, as part of a visit to look at twinning with a church there. The lectionary and the trip fitted perfectly, God at work.

So here I want to share the very little I know about the Jubilee Centre and their amazing work. I hope one day soon to go visit myself, and then you will hear ad infinitum about their work; but for now I will share what I have learned from my research and from hearing from our church travellers now they're home.

From the Jubilee Centre website:
"Jubilee Centre is a Zambian Christian NGO - working to empower churches, communities and their leaders to grow spiritually, flourish physically and have a voice in the world."

There are a myriad of projects being undertaken by the Jubilee Centre including:
borehole drilling


training teachers


childrens work


opening churches in old beer halls


developing church leaders


feeding projects


supporting child led households


and many more; being...salt of the earth and light of the world.


We in the UK and around the developed world have much to learn from the Jubilee Centre; about community, love, caring and supporting each other. How much are we truly aiming to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world?
