Pamodzi SDA Church Expansion: A Sanctuary of Hope

Dear friends,

From the dusty streets of Pamodzi in Ndola, every Sabbath tells the same story: long before the service begins, families arrive and quietly fill every bench, aisle, doorway, and window of a church that was built for just 250 people but now carries the hopes of more than 1,500 worshippers. Many stand for the entire service, some listen from outside under the sun, yet no one wants to stay away — because this is where they find comfort, community, and the courage to face another week. Through this project, we have been able to organize the congregation, strengthen our leadership’s planning, and keep the vision of a larger sanctuary alive in the hearts of our members. Your interest and prayers are a powerful encouragement that we are not walking this journey alone.

The Pamodzi SDA Church Expansion is more than a construction plan; it is our community’s dream of a true spiritual home where no one is turned away or left outside the windows. As we continue refining designs, mobilizing local support, and laying the groundwork for the new 2,500-seater sanctuary, we are also strengthening the ministries that will one day fill it: youth mentorship, health and wellness outreach, support for widows and orphans, and fellowship spaces where families can grow together in faith. Your solidarity is helping transform an overcrowded building into the vision of a permanent “Sanctuary of Hope” — a place where generations in Pamodzi will worship, learn, and be empowered to serve others.
