We believe that in our life time, God has entrusted us with a project to build Him a House of worship, a structure that will reflect His beauty and glory.
The facility by the grace of God will influence and impact the nation of Zambia and beyond. It will be a training ground for a new breed of Christians and leaders.
In addition it will be a place to feed the multitudes with the word of God, the ark of salvation, a store house for the needy, a healing balm for the sick, a house of prayer, a counseling centre for the hurting and broken hearted.

By the grace of God the building project has passed the half way stage. We are almost there, having completed the foundation, the first floor slab concrete and the columns.
God is inviting you to partner with Him to build the Blessing Centre. By so doing God is giving you an opportunity to be blessed.
I believe when you sow in this fertile ground, God will build your life, marriage, employment, business, ministry, education and finances.
God is no man’s debtor, when you take care of His business, He will take care of your business. God is giving you an opportunity to be blessed. Go for it, be a part of what God is doing in Zambia. Sow a seed and reap a harvest. By so doing you will be investing in the kingdom of God. Mathew 6:19-21.
Shalom!
