CCM Zambia

The following are a list of different ways that individuals, businesses, and churches can offer a helping hand to the work of CCM in Africa. Consider participating in some of our prayer, missionary service, and materials and financial giving opportunities.

1. PRAYER SUPPORT
CCM is seeking more prayer partners to stand behind us in prayer and help us accomplish our vision! Praise reports and prayer requests are sent out monthly to our prayer partners. To join CCM’s prayer team send your name and email address to: bonnie@zamnet.zm

2. SHORT/LONG TERM MISSION OPPORTUNITIES
CCM is inviting individuals and teams to come to Zambia for short and long term missionary service. A variety of opportunities are available including teaching, evangelism, ministry to children, youth, women, widows/orphans, leadership development, carpentry, music ministry, and more.

3. FIRST GRADE PROJECT
CCM Trust School provides quality Christian education to the children of Africa. The school opened in January of 2007 with 57 students. CCM is currently training children between 2 and 5 years of age. Plans are underway to train children from preschool up to grade eight. In 2008 we will be launching the first grade class and add one additional grade each year thereafter. Not only does CCM Trust School offer a quality of education unique to Africa, but it also generates money to help CCM in its efforts to become financially self-sufficient. $5000. is needed to successfully launch the first grade. The money will be used to buy the furniture, equipment, and supplies needed to furnish the first grade classroom and the playground. Contact us if you would like to help train the children of Africa! bonnie@zamnet.zm

4. BUILDING PROJECT
CCM Bible College and CCM Trust School are currently sharing Grace Hall, our first campus building. A second building is needed so that each ministry will have its own space for smooth operations and expansion. The second building (35 X 50 yards) is currently at window level. An estimated $200,000. U.S.D. is needed to complete the building. The next phase of this project is to raise the walls to ceiling level, put in the window and door frames, then begin roofing. We want to encourage individuals, churches, and businesses to adopt a part of the building. Prayerfully consider buying some concrete blocks or bricks, purchasing a door or window frame, or buying some steel beams or roofing sheet. The breakdown of our immediate building material needs are as follows:

Bricks: 12,250 @ $1. each. ($12,250.)
Concrete Blocks: 6000 @ $2. each ($12,000.)
Window Frames: 62 @ $200. each ($12,400.)
Door Frames: 11 @ $150. each ($1,650.)
Steel Beams: 50 @ $1000. each ($50,000.)
Roofing Sheets: 450 @ $100. each ($45,000.)

Partner with our building team and help us complete the future home of CCM Bible College and Seminary.

5. TAXI PROJECT
CCM currently has two taxi’s to help fund general operations. Since Bible College tuition fees do not cover all of CCM's operating expenses, creative support-raising projects are needed to achieve financial self-sufficiency. Taxi’s are one way to do this. One taxi can generate over $700. per month (profit). In just seven months one taxi will pay for itself and begin generating income to support the ministries of CCM. We would like to acquire a third taxi in 2007. Need: $6000.

6. SPONSORING A BIBLE COLLEGE STUDENT
CCM Bible College is equipping Africans for Christian ministry. Many Bible College students cannot begin their theological studies or have difficulty continuing their studies because of financial limitations. Consider equipping a future African leader by helping to sponsor their theological education. Both partial and full scholarship opportunities are available. Current sponsorship fees for full sponsorship are listed below ...

7. MISSIONARY SUPPORT FOR BONNIE LOU DOLAN

BONNIE LOU DOLAN, a native of Minnesota, entered into a personal relationship with Christ in 1986.

She is currently completing her PhD Studies with Vision International University. In 1998 she moved to Zambia, Africa, where she has been serving as a missionary for the past 9 years.
