Expanded Church Response
ECR wants to see transformed lives and communities through an empowered, compassionate Church. ECR is committed to awakening the Church to its calling and empowering its members and communities around them to transform their world and the world. Through a strategic and compassionate response, churches are transforming their communities. Individuals affected by HIV are receiving life saving drugs, regaining strength and becoming active members of the society again. Orphans and vulnerable children are receiving the priceless gift of education. Families are finding livelihood, rising out of poverty, eating healthy and sending their children to school. The mission of ECR is to empower the Church in Christ's Love, Character and Wisdom in Zambia and beyond to facilitate a comprehensive, and coordinated development response, thereby contributing to the physical, emotional, and spiritual wholeness of individuals, families, and communities. We want to connect with others that share aspects of our mission and vision. We are always looking for companies, nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, churches, families, and individuals to partner with us in this work. We seek to find the best practices in our field and implement them in our communities. Our hope is to make a difference and inspire others to do the same here in Zambia and beyond.
