The Church of Brethren congregation in Třinec-Lyžbice, Czech Republic, is preparing a mission project to run day camps in villages around Kabwe, in central Zambia, where high poverty and unemployment leave children with few structured activities during school holidays. The camps, planned for summer 2027, will bring games, craft workshops, songs and Bible-based teaching directly into rural communities.
Organizers say preparing an international mission trip to sub-Saharan Africa requires careful long-term planning, from coordinating with local authorities to building a cross-culturally adapted programme, and that the camps are meant to encourage not only children but also families and villages who will see they have not been forgotten.
