Impact Able - Lifesong Zambia

Meet Able. 
Handsome, right?And he is a bit of a charmer. But with that smile, can you blame him?
This is what Able had to say about himself:
Hi. I'm Able. I am 14 years old. I live with my mother's sister.  I have lived with her for 2 years.  My mother died when I was 5 years old.  Also, my little cousins, Marleen and Bethshaba, attend Lifesong school in Baby Class. I am in grade 7. My aunt sells vegtables outside our home to help earn an income. Thank you for helping Lifesong.
Along with Able, there are 20 other students who will be entering 8th grade. Just one more year before they beat the odds and become part of the 5% that attend High School. 
Think about that for a minute. 95% of Zambian children will not attend High School.Which means, 95% of Zambian's will never go to college.
And this is why the cycle of poverty continues: 
  • no education = no opportunities 
  • education = opportunities for change
Only 5% are given that opportunity to break that cycle.
YOU have the opportunity to make sure that Able and his 20 other classmates be a part of the 5%.And ALL of the students who will come after Able.
As of now, there are no classrooms available for him and the other grade 7 students. Will you help build a new classroom for Able so that he can continue school this fall and be part of the 5%?

live like that




Sometimes I think 
What will people say of me 
When I'm only just a memory 
When I'm home where my soul belongs 

Was I love 
When no one else would show up 
Was I Jesus to the least of those 
Was my worship more than just a song 

I want to live like that 
And give it all I have 
So that everything I say and do 
Points to You 

If love is who I am 
Then this is where I'll stand 
Recklessly abandoned 
Never holding back 

I want to live like that 
I want to live like that


Am I proof 
That You are who you say You are 
That grace can really change a heart 
Do I live like Your love is true 

People pass 
And even if they don't know my name 
Is there evidence that I've been changed 
When they see me, do they see You 

I want to show the world the love You gave for me 
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I WANT TO LIVE LIKE THAT!

                        I want
                             ...to be love when no one else shows up
                             ...to be Jesus to the least of those
                             ...to have my worship be more than just a song
                             ...to show Your love to the world


How about you? 
How do you want to live?
