In Africa Israel support is growing.
 

 
Israel is not an apartheid state.
As an African from Southern Africa and I speak for many Africans I feel insulted when people compare the State of Israel to Apartheid South Africa.  The comparison is outrageously false and demeaning to the millions of victims of Apartheid. Israel is simply not an apartheid state like was South Africa.  I was 19 years of age when Apartheid was finally dismantled.  I knew what it was.
Zambia hosted the African National Congress ANC (the current ruling party in South Africa) who fought against the apartheid regime in South Africa. For hosting the ANC, Zambia was badly pummeled militarily by the South African Apartheid regime and it’s Southern Rhodesian compatriot.
I lost an uncle in the war and I vividly remember huddling with my siblings as windows were being shattered by bombs dropped nearby as the enemy aircraft attacked my country.
Maybe one should look at the differences between apartheid South Africa and the State of Israel to make a rational opinion instead of calling Israel what it is not.
In The State of Israel Jew and Arab are equal before the law. Israel has no Population Registration Act, no Group Areas Act, no Mixed Marriage and Immorality Act, no Separate Representation of Voters Act, no Separate Amenities Act, no Pass Laws and any of the Apartheid laws.
On the Other hand Israel is a vibrant democracy, with an independent judiciary and free press. Israel accords full political, religious and other human rights to all it’s people including the more than one million Arab citizens of Israel.
In Israel Arab citizens hold positions of power including that of cabinet minister, Member of Parliament and judge at every level, including that of Supreme Court. All citizens in Israel vote on the same roll in regular, multiparty elections. There are also Arab parties in parliament.
Arab and Jews share all public facilities, including hospitals, schools, malls, buses, cinemas and parks. This is not apartheid!!! It is wrong to use this term on the State of Israel and Israel haters  in the western world are wrongly using ignorance to attack Israel.
For your own information the Israel support base in Africa has grown exceedingly great and it continues to grow each day. Does it not amaze the world that African Muslims from Darfur, Eritrea, Somalia and other parts of Africa are avoiding Mecca, the wealthy gulf states and other Muslim countries and are taking a dangerous trek in their tens of thousands to find freedom, security and happiness in Israel? They cross and leave behind entire Muslim countries to illegally enter the Jewish state. There is a growing love for Israel in Africa and surprisingly many Muslim peoples in Africa openly love Israel.
Every year poor Africans of the Christian faith from allover the African continent pour into Israel in their thousands during the Jerusalem House of Prayer for all Nations and other like events to show solidarity with Israel. Prayer for Israel is growing allover Africa as denominations come together to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Many Africans can tell the difference between apartheid and a free state and Israel is not an Apartheid state. Sorry in Africa this lie wont sell.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
 
We had a solidarity prayer meeting for Israel in Lusaka and many attended from the Messianic Jewish community, the local Jewish community, Christian denominations and groups. Below are the photos. The Israeli embassy also sent a representative.

 
Some visiting Israelis attended too.

Orphanage
Thank you from Fay
Again i would like to thank our many supporters who are sponsoring orphans and poor children through our ministry. I thought of briefly showing how important your support is to the many unfortunate children of Africa.
About 30 million children on the African continent are unable to attend school due to many factors including poverty, non availability of schools and teachers and many others like conflict and disease.
But you have given the children under our care a rare privilege to be in school and a window for a bright future. Every day about 26,000 children under five die  from preventable diseases  and many of them in Africa. Africa is home to about 50 Million Orphans.
Being orphaned in Africa is like a death sentence; on a continent where even children who still have living parents go hungry, being an orphan entails a life of vulnerability, inequality, rejection, poverty, insecurity, lack of parental care, child labor and ill health. Many orphans lack the basic human rights provisions such as health, shelter, food, water, sanitation and education. Many suffer from malnutrition, inadequate schooling and exposure to danger and abuse.
Zambia has the second highest number of orphans in Africa with Zimbabwe coming last. About half of all Zambian children are malnourished. The population of children between 0-17 years in Zambia is 6,638 and of these 13{f867ed0a5269d3ff73e3962581c489613d212587fec1849d90b46f9dafc0d2f4} are orphans. Zambia has 2,513,768 households and 4,636 are child headed households. Of the 4,636 households headed by children about 40{f867ed0a5269d3ff73e3962581c489613d212587fec1849d90b46f9dafc0d2f4} are headed by orphans. Only about 32{f867ed0a5269d3ff73e3962581c489613d212587fec1849d90b46f9dafc0d2f4} of orphans are receiving any form of help.
Again Thank you for helping the children under our care. May God richly bless you.

We have again been sued by the same man who has been after our frontage. Please do pray for closure and resources to pay attorneys. This case has been on and off since 2008. It started in the magistrate courts and moved up to the High court where we won. It is likely that the case may end up in the supreme court. We covert your prayers.
