and received a certificate as

proof of their accomplish-

ment—something that many

people never do, mostly be-

cause they never get a

chance—a certificate is of

great significance in Zambia.

With your involvement, you

will open new opportunities

to people, and make a great

difference. A statement from

one of our previous volun-

teers: "You really see and feel

that you make a difference

through the work here in

Dream Factory. At night when

you lie in bed, not only are

you tired because you have

Part of Dream Factory’s DNA

is partnership. One way we

do this is by working together

with people from all over the

world to improve the lives of

people in Zambia. We be-

lieve in dreaming together,

creating together, and mov-

ing together for the sake of

Zambia’s future. As you read

this newsletter, ask yourself

"what can I do?", and "how

can I get involved ?". The fact

is we need you onboard!

Over the last few years, many

people have volunteered at

Dream Factory making our

volunteer program one of our

core programs. People have

gotten involved in many ways

like through our Soccer pro-

gram Adobt a Club, our

Buyantanshi women's empow-

erment program, helping out

at local schools and orphan-

ages. They have gotten in-

volved in our Ministries de-

partment where we preach at

public schools, and organize

Citywide Crusades.

Volunteers are also able plan

a personalized program like a

team from Denmark did in

July this year. They had a

dream of teaching swimming

and first aid courses, and

through careful planning and

hard work

they succeed-

ed. Over two

weeks more

than 30 young

people went

through this

course, not

only did they

learn to swim,

but they most-

ly gained self-

confidence,

(con�nued from page 1) I’m not ready to visit Zambia but I

would like to support Dream Facto-

ry. How can I do that?

There are many ways you can support

this great work, and remember all your

blessings will have a direct personal ef-

fect on many people's lives.

Ongoing monthly donations help us with

the running costs which is the foundation

for all our projects.

Just to give you an idea what your support

can do here in Zambia. A City Wide Cru-

sade, which reaches many of the unsa-

ved, can be done for $2500 US. For $1000

US, you can adopt a football club through

our Adopt A Club program, helping many

young people in local communities.

Our first session of our Women’s Empo-

werment Program will be coming to an

end in November. We look forward to

Let’s eat the elephant together—one bite

at a time!

One of the classic books of all time once

told me that the way you eat an elephant

is the same way you eat an apple—just

one bite at a time. Inch by inch and eve-

rything is a cinch!

Although Dream Factory’s Adopt-a-Club

project should be considered to be in its

infancy stage, it seems that it has grown

exponentially. Starting with only two

clubs in 2012, it’s a miracle that we now

have eight clubs up and running.

Between the 19th and 24th of August,

Adopt-a-Club held an intensive soccer

and leadership course in Mufulira, a town

outside our hometown, Ndola. This is the

first project we have undertaken outside

Ndola. We have since adopted two more

clubs—White Stars of ENFYS in rural

Mufulira and Kashomoto Academy within

the township of Mufulira.

Ten young people, five from each team,

participated in the train-the-trainers pro-

gram. The amount of energy these trai-

ners impacted on the community is bey-

ond description.

The Adopt-a-Club program has been like

eating an elephant one bite at a time. It

has been an enormous task to create ex-

citement and commitment in our normal

working areas and then going further by

taking it beyond our boarders. But we are

driven by our goal to give a spirit of free-

dom to grow to as many youth as we pos-

sibly can.

I encourage you to be part of Dream Fac-

tory’s vision and join in the excitement of

leaving a legacy to many people because

in the end, you will be glad that you did! The leaders from White Stars of ENFYS

and Kashomoto Academy in Mufulira

received there certificates.

From one of the workshops in Mufulira

get involved?

Thanks for all support and prayers.

Without it, Dream Factory could ne-

ver make this happen.

The Buyantanshi DF Ministries Crusade

held in July was in many ways a great

success. The fact that more that 15 local

churches worked together and continue

to do so, says it all. In Dream Factory Mi-

nistries Crusade department our vision

has been to involve and connect local

churches, give them ownership of the

ministry opportunities we initiate and, of

course, see them grow.

The 4-day Crusade had a great turnout

from the whole area—with attendance

much higher than we anticipated. Wed-

nesday and Thursday’s attendance

reached between 1000-1500 people, Fri-

day around 2000 people, and the last

meeting Saturday night, around 3000

people! Many people received a miracle

from God, and more than 500 people

received Jesus Christ.

We pray and believe for many more Cru-

sades in the future, and are already plan-

ning for 2014. Perhaps it’s your time to

Edith Lukote letter

I am one of the women in the Buyantanshi

Women Empowerment program. After

Dream Factory in Zambia empowered me

with a loan, I have managed to start a

business that has helped my family to

have food on the table, which I never had

before.

I have also managed to send back to

school my children due to the good busi-

ness I am currently doing. I am now sel-

ling small fish, beans and flour polish.

From the same business I have managed

to pay back the loan, so that other women

may also benefit.

My family and I are greatful to Dream

Factory and the people who donated the

money to Dream Factory.

May God bless you abundantly. Truly you

have changed the life of our family. Befo-

re we slept on empty stomaches, but now

we live a joyful family.

I have learnt many skills and will use

them now to teach other women in our

community.
