Our Partners

FMZ operates as a force-multiplier for the gospel, serving those whose work is in the more remote areas of Zambia, as well as the less remote. We aim to facilitate the work of our partners, helping to make them more effective. Just some of our partners, and the work in which they are engaged, are described on this page.

To read more about these partners, place your mouse over the highlighted areas on the map below.

Chitokoloki Mission, NW Province

Chitokoloki is a CMML (Christian Missions in Many Lands) Mission Station. There, a large and busy hospital serves the people living in the immediate catchment area, as well as many others who arrive for medical assistance from all areas of North-Western Province, adjacent provinces and even neighbouring countries. A Leprosy Colony on the mission has been part of operations for many years. Presently it also serves TB patients.

Missionaries serving at the mission are also involved in literacy programmes in the local community, teaching in local schools and running a pre-school facility for the children of hospital staff. They also offer hospitality to the many visitors who come to help on a part-time basis.

The Mission's goal is to share the Gospel and demonstrate the love of God to all who come, whether it is for spiritual, emotional or physical needs, and try to be a help and encouragement to the local Churches and individual Christians. Most important is that all should be done to bring honour and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Baptist Mission of Zambia (IMB)

Baptist Mission of Zambia is of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The board's main objective is to lead individuals to saving faith in Jesus Christ, resulting in church-planting movements among all the peoples of the world.

Baptist missionaries in Zambia work with those who still live with little or no access to the Gospel, people like:

  • The Zambezi Tonga, divided by a dam built for Lake Kariba, number 784,000 in southern Zambia and 142,000 in northern Zimbabwe. The Tonga are receptive to the Gospel but the extreme hot temperatures and the difficulty in reaching this area has kept evangelism at a minimum. Although many Zambezi Tonga say they are Christian, the majority are steeped in witchcraft and animism.
  • The Taabwa people of Northern Zambia and the Congo with 300,000 in both countries. They have registered their first churches among these people this year. Please pray that the Taabwa Bible would be completed soon and made available to so many who have never heard.
  • The Lunda people. They have had the Bible in their language since 1962 and an early missionary presence but still there are very few who have accepted Christ as their Saviour.
  • The Mambwe-Lungu people. Numbering 160,000 in the north-eastern Northern Province of Zambia and 323,000 across the border in Tanzania. Although the New Testament was completed in their language in 1991, still less than one-half of one percent are evangelical Christians.

Pray that God will make a way for these people groups to have access to the Good News!

Because of our supporting role, we take particular pleasure in seeing our partners being effective in their work in remote places. That is the reason we report special events and milestones taking place on their mission stations and in their personal lives on our Flying Mission News page.
