Zambia Celebrates Israel's Independence!
Israel marked its 78th Independence Day (Yom Ha'atzmaut) on April 21-22, 2026, celebrating resilience after intense conflict, with a population exceeding 10.24 million.
In Zambia, this milestone was highlighted by strengthening bilateral ties, particularly in health and agriculture. Israeli Ambassador to Zambia, Ofra Farhi, celebrated the 78th Independence Day in Lusaka with several Zambian government officials, foreign ambassadors accredited to Zambia and religious organizations.
Of note, the Messianic Jewish community of Zambia was also invited.

In the eyes of many African nations, Israel is a modern-day miracle, an amazing survival and thriving story. Despite regional challenges, Israel's 78th anniversary highlights its journey to becoming a thriving nation. It has clearly been 78 years of turning a dream into reality despite regional threats.

Then and Now!
Patrick was only 6years old and his two young siblings Maria and Sylvester (twins) were only two years old when they were brought to our Jerome Fleischer Orphanage Home in 2014. They had just lost their mother, and Patrick was trying to take care of his young siblings without much luck.

Remember the Lemba Jewish orphans.
The King will say to them, 'Yes! I tell you that whenever you did these things for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did them for me!'
Mat 25:40
After planting three young Lemba Jewish congregations, we discovered that there were over 56 Lemba Jewish orphans within our congregations. Though very poor the Lemba Jews do their very best to take care of their orphans and none of the orphans is on the street. But that does not mean they do not need help.
Almost all of them are out of school and lack a lot of basic needs. Fay has started an outreach to Lemba Jewish orphans opening up a one classroom for all the children so that they can learn how to read and write, learn of their rich Jewish heritage and of their faith in Messiah Yeshua.
Patner with us in touching and transforming the life of a Lemba Jewish orphan.
