Pray for Chreso: A Vital Partner in Zambia’s Mission

At WOW Mission, we deeply value our partnership with Chreso Ministries, a dedicated organization working tirelessly across Zambia in Lusaka, Siavonga, Livingstone, and Ndola. Their commitment to serving others is truly inspiring, and they continue to extend God’s love and care to some of the most vulnerable communities in the country. Today, we ask you to join us in prayer for Chreso, their staff, and the people they serve.

Chreso’s Growing Reach

Chreso cares for between 10,000 to 20,000 people across Zambia. They have expanded their medical services, now treating not only HIV but also non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and mental health conditions. Praise God for this expansion, and for the opportunity to reach more people with life-saving care!

Challenges in Healthcare and Nutrition

The cost of providing nutritious food has skyrocketed, nearly doubling in recent months. Chreso’s biggest need is nutrition. The Heps porridge, which has been a crucial part of Chreso’s nutrition programs, is increasing in price.

Drought and Power Shortages

Zambia is currently experiencing severe drought and ongoing load shedding, which means many areas only have power for 2 to 3 hours a day. While Chreso has invested in solar panels and generators, the energy shortages remain a major obstacle, especially during critical times like the October/November exam period. This affects both the students and the most vulnerable people, who are already struggling.

A Growing Outreach for the Gospel

Chreso’s outreach efforts in Livingstone and Siavonga have been met with an amazing response. They are also sharing God’s word through their TV station, which reaches people all over the world. Helmut, the founder of Chreso, sees this as the fulfillment of a prophetic vision, and we are excited to see how God continues to use this ministry for His glory.

Specific Prayer Requests:

1. Pray for continued provision for medical care.
2. Pray for Zambia’s food supply, especially for the Heps porridge, which is so vital for the children and for donations and support to sustain this vital part of Chreso’s care.
3. Pray for a solution to the ongoing energy crisis in Zambia and for the lights to stay on when needed most.
4. Pray that Chreso is able to maintain their operations in the face of soaring costs.
   We believe in the power of prayer and that God will continue to provide for Chreso as they serve faithfully in His name. Thank you for standing with us, and with them, in prayer during this season.

Together, we can be a part of the amazing work God is doing in Zambia through Chreso. Let’s continue to trust in His provision and pray fervently for those on the frontlines of this ministry.
