Exciting new development by Samuel Pedersen and Peder Tind

and held discipleship classes.

It is evident to us that there is

much work to be done, and

we call on all of you, the cur-

rent partners of School Mis-

sion to continue supporting

this great work. No task or

mission can succeed in our

individual strength, but we

need each other and mostly

we need the strength and

wisdom that comes from God.

So join in and dream with us.

We want to thank John Peder-

sen, the founder and director

of School Mission for 25

years, and member of Dream

Factory board.

The board and the staff at

Dream Factory Zambia are all

full of faith and overwhelmed

by God and the many break-

throughs he provides repeat-

edly. At the same time, it is a

very humbling experience to

accept the task of carrying on

the vision and objectives of

School Mission. School Mis-

sion has operated in Zambia

for 27 years as an independ-

ent organization, and through

their great work they have

educated, helped, and chal-

lenged thousands of students

and teachers. The leadership

in School Mission approached

Dream Factory some months

ago with a wish for Dream

Factory to carry on the organ-

ization and its objectives.

Through a short process of

prayers, and meetings we all

felt the clear guidance to go

ahead. The former leadership

in School Mission and the

leadership in Dream Factory

have a joined heart, and we

all believe for a great future.

As School Mission now falls

under the Dream Factory Min-

istries Department, it is our

prayer that in time the mis-

sion work in schools by God’s

grace will be established in

all ten provinces of Zambia

and will even reach outside

the borders of

Zambia.

and was made possible by Dream Factory

through the micro loan and business les-

sons. She finally thanked Dream Factory

Zambia and asked God to bless the pe-

ople involved in contributing to her suc-

cess.

Christina Tambatamba Christina is another beneficiary from Buy-

antanshi Women Empowerment Program.

Christine testifies that her life has been

totally changed for the better.

She narrated that after she joined Buy-

antanshi her faith had increased. The

program has brought about good fruit,

removing her from what she called

'stagnant life' to a wonderful and fruitful

life.

She mentioned that she had always wan-

ted to sell fresh fish but had challenges of

where to get starting capital and had no

freezer in which to stock the fish.

Upon joining this group, Dream Factory

came to her rescue of which she testified

that not only has she managed to get a

freezer for her fresh fish, but she has also

managed to buy a sewing machine.

She says she is now immensely blessed!

At a time when other women could have

thought that the micro loans were too

small, it was manna from heaven for Chri-

stine because of the faith she had in gro-

wing it! She thanked Dream Factory and

blessed all the people connected to this

work.

“Buyantanshi Womens Empowerment”

had graduation on 15th November 2013.

Here follows some testimonies of the

women.

Mary Machiko Mary was among the group of Women

Empowerment by Dream Factory in 2013.

During the graduation, she shared that it

had been her great need and desire to

receive the education in Basic Business

Management. She quoted from

the Bible and spoke about Psalm

33: 11, "But the plans of the Lord

stand firm forever, the purposes

of His heart through all genera-

tions’’. She proudly pronounced

to her fellow women that by car-

rying out her business in a right

manner, she had been able to

save some money that had enab-

led her to build her own house.

Mary testified, pre-

sented how she

conducts her busi-

ness through a role-play,

and further mentioned

that her life was so different

now. She no longer rents a

house and the money she is

making out of her business

is now channeled to impro-

ving her family's living stan-

dards, including paying for

her children's school fees.

Her dream of owning a

house has finally come true

day, where Board

Pedersen hands over

the the certificates

tended. Mikael and

Nadia, volunteers from

Denmark, together

with Mortson and Pe-

der, and indeed in full

support of Dream Fac-

tory staff, Griselia and

Stanley, were ecstatic

about what was happe-

ning. When time for

presentations came,

each team had its sha-

re, including jerseys,

soccer balls, drinking

bottles, t-shirts, indivi-

dual medals and to

climax it all, dream cups! What a

scene to see teams celebrating in

song, dancing and chanting themes of

victory!

Another successful day! Another success-

ful project! Another successful underta-

king in the right direction! One would

peg and brand this event in so many

ways. Ultimately, Dream Factory Zambia

sums it up in its motto: If you can dream it,

you can do it!

Three years ago when Simon Linde and

the team initiated the Dream Cup con-

cept, little was known of its potential. A

little walk in the fog and we can now see

another distance that comes into view: a

distance that only you and me have made

possible to see; a distance where so ma-

ny teams interact and send synergy

among themselves, a distance where all

are champions because they are made to

realize their individual potential

Now we are looking forward to the

coming year, 2014, with renewed hope,

vigor and excitement, having learnt from

the past what we ought to improve and

implement in the future. It has brought us

great joy to see so many young people

smiling because Dream Factory touches

their lives, give them hope, purpose, and

brings freedom to grow! It touches our

hearts and we know, it touches yours too,

because you care. Thank you for your

contribution.

What if you could experience sports en-

tertainment, talent, fun, sports talent or

mere sheer shock in one day! That would

be made possible by attending the

Dream Cup Tournament of Adopt-a-Club.

This year it was held right in Masala com-

pound that holds some of the teams adop-

ted by our project. It marked the third

annual Dream Cup Tournament attended

by both local and outside teams. Repre-

sented during the tournament were

KashimotoAcademy and White Stars from

Mufulira, Superade Academy, Moto Fire,

Nkwazi FC, Dawn Power, Lubuto Gunners

and Isubilo from Ndola. For the first time

ever, girls' football teams from Superade,

Isubilo and Nkwazi were featured and it

added to the beauty and excitement of

the day. Talk about variety!

It was such a thrill to see the radiance of

contentment and excitement as all teams

got geared to play their 30 minutes'

game, dressed immaculately in attire that

gave each team such great hope of win-

ning.

At the end of it all, one would think there

was a team that found itself downcast

because it had lost a game. But no! There

were presents to cheer all teams that at-

We also want to thank John and Priya Buz-

worked hard to navigate School Mission

today. We are honoured to be given the
