Care4 Kids - Hope Project Ministry is gospel initiative of multiple
Reformed Baptist Churches, with the goal of loving, caring for, and reaching out to vulnerable,
poor and orphaned children in order for them to live out their God-given potential.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans
and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
— James 1:27
James 1:27 beautifully underscores the heart of our ministry. At Care4 Kids - Hope Project, we are committed to honoring God by loving and caring for vulnerable children, showing His love and compassion through tangible acts of service and support. Just as this scripture calls us to action, we are devoted to uplifting the lives of children in need, advocating for their well-being, and providing them with the hope of a brighter future.
The children we serve come from impoverished homes and communities, often lacking basic necessities such as food, school necessities, clothing, and education. Without intervention, many risk falling into lives of homelessness, substance abuse, or crime. The ministry aims to love and care these children, providing support and guidance for them to fulfill their potential (James 1: 27).
The growing influence of prosperity gospel teachings poses a significant challenge in Zambia and across Africa (2 Timothy 4:2-4). Many organizations promote these false doctrines, leading to confusion and misguided faith among families. Our ministry seeks to provide sound biblical teaching that encourages genuine repentance and faith in Christ.
While many schools claim to be Christian, they often lack the distinctiveness in curriculum and character development that true Christian education offers (Colossians 2:8). We believe that education should serve as a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship, producing spiritually grounded, academically prepared, and servant-hearted leaders (Matthew 5:14-16)..
Our programs aim to uplift vulnerable children by meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We focus on breaking the cycle of poverty, advocating for each child's well-being, and sharing Christ's love, all while creating lasting change that empowers children and their communities to thrive..

Our sponsorship model allows sponsors to form meaningful relationships with the children they support, creating a sense of encouragement, hope, and mutual inspiration. A sponsor isn't just a financial contributor; they are a blessing, investing in a child's life through prayer, encouragement, and even opportunities to connect through letters or visits.
Led by a team of experienced leaders committed to God's work, Care4 Kids Ministry is guided by prayerful decision-making and a steadfast commitment to serving each child entrusted to our care. Our leadership team's dedication to ministry ensures that every action is aimed at the children's best interests and God's glory.
Rooted in Christian values, Care4 Kids Ministry serves from a foundation of faith, compassion, and a desire to reflect God's love. Inspired by the ministry of Jesus Christ, who exemplified mercy and compassion for the vulnerable, our mission is to bring hope and transformation through the love of Christ and biblical principles.
Care4 Kids Ministry takes a comprehensive approach to each child's well-being, addressing not only basic needs but also fostering spiritual, emotional, and educational growth. Every child is cherished as a unique individual with God-given potential. As a gospel-driven initiative, we prioritize intensive evangelism and structured discipleship, aiming to nurture each child's faith journey and personal development.
True change flourishes within a supportive community. By partnering with local churches and community leaders, we build sustainable networks that empower families and ensure lasting impacts on children's lives. Care4 Kids Ministry believes in working alongside the local church, amplifying its role in the community and supporting its mission. Together, we extend the church's reach, making a greater difference in each community we serve.
We believe in supporting children from their early years through adulthood, equipping them with life skills, education, and spiritual guidance so they can thrive and give back to their communities. Inspired by the Bemba proverb, "Imiti ikula empanga"—translated as "today's small trees are tomorrow's forests"—we view today's children as the future leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. Through transformative support, we aim to positively impact Zambia and beyond.
As a ministry with a gospel-centered vision involving multiple churches, Care4 Kids is dedicated to upholding a high standard of transparency in all financial and operational practices. We ensure that every donation directly contributes to meaningful impact for the children and communities we serve. Additionally, the ministry operates under the oversight of the elders from our partnering churches, maintaining a steadfast commitment to integrity and accountability.
