Glory be to God!

One of the things we love most about community transformation is seeing people take ownership of their future.

Our Men’s Cooperative continues to make exciting progress as they build their shoe business. Over the past few weeks, they have purchased equipment and materials that they need to start this endeavor.

At the same time, they are showing incredible creativity and determination by diversifying into the sale of cooking oil and mealie meal (Zambia’s staple food) to generate income while ramping up shoe production. This additional revenue is helping sustain the cooperative, provide for families, and create momentum toward long-term sustainability.

What started as a simple vision is becoming an example of dignity, hard work, and community-driven transformation. We are proud of these men and grateful for everyone who has helped make this possible through prayer, encouragement, and support.

The journey is still unfolding, but the foundation is being built one step at a time.

Over a week ago, we had a very unfortunate situation where a 13 year old girl was found near our Ministry Center gate wanting to commit su***de. Not yet established why she wanted to do that. We are on a journey to walk with her as we try to engage her guardians. Praise the Lord for that Good Samaritan who brought her in so we could be able to listen to her story

Last week was exciting as we hosted Restored Hope Zambia who came to do a follow up workshop on Church Abuse and touched a bit on Trainer of Trainers. Five women from Chibolya also were in attendance. Many thanks to RHZ for their continued partnership in bringing lasting change to our community

Good afternoon,

I was just reflecting on how my life has been to where I am right now. You and everyone have been a blessing from the time I met you till date. You taught me what Christianity is all about and everything you taught me in relation to JESUS has helped me navigate through the Nicest and worst of times, and as though the Gospel and moral teachings were not enough you helped me move from my secondary school at Luangwa Secondary School to the beginning and the end of my Tertiary education at Defence School of Health Sciences, I am a graduate now thanks to you and everyone who saw the good in me that even I could not see in me and helped me be what I am today (I was always resentful of my existence I remember going round Chibolya in headsets speaking bad of myself) thank you for showing me that even if the ones hurt they should not only focus on the pain cause once you do you will miss the joyful moments. You didn't only help me and my family you stood for the lowest community in Chongwe town and spoke the word to the youths, the women and men and helped the youths understand what life is about outside the negative, though saddened by Clifford's death we are happy that he at least left this world with the comfort that he was never alone and he love knowing that Christ Loves him.

I know you will say its only by His GRACE that you helped us TRUE and I acknowledge that all is done through the Lord's LOVE, WILL and POWER, but I also acknowledge that Man was granted FREE WILL of choice and yet You(Ben Choitz) Kristin Choitz and the One Collective Organisation chose to help a community that has not physical or earthly ties with aside for the LOVE of CHRIST, with that said I will say it again THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME (Gabriel Munanjala), my family and the Chibolya community thank you so very much

The girl you see in school uniform has been attending our ESL program for the past 2 years. When she joined us, she could not read anything but now she is able to do so. This development has motivated her parents to enroll her into a formal school, something that has brought a smile on our faces.

God is indeed transforming Chibolya community for His glory!!!
