Breath of Heaven Children’s Village is a ministry dedicated to help meeting the needs of a growing orphan population in Lusaka, Zambia. Serving orphans is part of our biblical commission, as stated in James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans… in their distress.”

Our desire is to provide a stable, secure, family like environment that will allow the children to interact with the neighboring community.

Breath of Heaven Children’s Village has an immediate mission to develop a children’s village consisting of a fourteen homes, school, clinic, and church. These homes will be individually set up as family units consisting of a housemother and twelve children. This is an important element in our strategy which will minimize some of the stigma associated with more institutional approaches and allow for a more normalized family experience for the children. Once complete, the Children's Village will care for 168 children. In addition to those who are able to have a home at the village, the school, medical clinic and other facilities will allow us to reach out to even more orphan children in the surrounding community with day programs, education and medical care. 

Throughout the last few years, the vision of Breath of Heaven Children's Ministries has been possible through your faithful prayers, cheerful giving and unconditional love.  Through your efforts we have taken orphans off the streets and have provided to them hope for a better future.  The children of the Breath of Heaven village have been transformed - removed from  darkness and despair that they knew in their previous life as an orphan and recognize the new and boundless possibilities.  They are thankful, prayerful, and humbled - and they want to help make this bright future a reality .

Enter Zume: an international benefit race for orphans in Zambia to compete against their American peers to raise money for the completion of their own children's village. Zume is a 5k race where orphans from Zambia have decided to challenge others to run. Through pledges and sponsors they intend to build their own children's village.
