Nkalamo

Lions

Keisha Garber... three years ago gave up a successful business and a life of travel and adventure for a call to missions in Zambia.  Has participated with multiple organizations and given her heart countless times over to various beautiful movements in and around Kitwe.  Zambia is her home, and Christian Aid ministries is fortunate to have such a passionate spirit among them.  Her calm wisdom and rational approach to third world obstacles is a true blessing to the team.  She is a lion


Liz Rini... grew up wanting to fly military aircraft like her dad.  A short term mission trip to Haiti changed her life and she became a doctor instead.  Liz has an endless passion for the disadvantaged and a capacity to offer genuine care to everyone whom she meets.  Her ambition is to be in the field more than in the books, and her drive to heal, comfort, and uplift has no limit.  She is a lion


Stan Mulenga.  Suffered with tuberculosis for the majority of his adolescence.  Made a commitment to prevent this experience for as many human beings as possible for the rest of his life.  Brings healthcare, food, opportunity, education, and spiritual support to rural Zambia.  Most recently adopted a patient into his own home.  Lawrence most likely has lymphoma, but money to access the proper diagnoses is insufficient.  Lawrence's family has abandoned him, citing financial difficulty even though they will not even visit or bring him "an orange" to show their love.  When Lawrence has to go the the ER for rehydration and abdominal therapy, Stan remains at his bedside until he is discharged.  Stan is a LION


The walk.  Ulwendo.  What is it really about?  These three Nkalamo?  The poor and the hungry and the sick and the orphaned that the they have tended to, giving their lives to service?  The people of Kitwe?  Of Zambia?  The third world?  Humanity... comfort, survival, happiness... community.  God.  Forgiveness.  Love.  The walk.
