About us
Introduction
The Samfya and Beyond Rural Outreach Missions (S’BROM) is a not for profit Christian organisation. It was formally set up on 15 November,2024, to formalise and piece together the ongoing mission project that has assisted and complemented the work pioneered by Pastor Adam Phiri, in rural villages such Kapata, Chipundu.and Twingi, located in the Samfya province of Zambia
ETHOS
The ethos is based on the following scriptures:
Mark 16:15 (NLT)
‘And then he told them’, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone…”
Matt.25:34-40 (NLT)
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.
35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.
36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me
37 Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?
39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!
Mission
The mission is to become a light and vehicle to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ and be an expression of the love of God to the forgotten rural communities, such as Samfya, other rural parts of Zambia and surrounding regions in Africa. The goals are to:
- Establish clear lines of communication with the communities served, with donors and partners through various channels such as social media, newsletters and email updates.
- Conduct regular needs assessment to understand the specific needs of the communities by regularly assessing their needs and prioritizing of financial resources accordingly.
III. Secure a mix of funding sources, including individual donations, grants,corporate sponsorships and in-kind donations, to ensure financial stability and reduce reliance on a single source.
- Track progress and implement projects through a robust monitoring and evaluation system, enabling data driven decision making for continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with local organisations, government agencies and community leaders to ensure project sustainability and long term success.
- Develop a volunteer programme: Empower local communities to participate in programmes and projects as volunteers, to increase capacity
VII. Recruit and train volunteers to be culturally sensitive and adaptable; fostering understanding of the local contexts.
VIII. Organise mission trips to these communities to encourage and maintain educational, social and spiritual activities’, in order to enrich the lives of the poor, orphaned children, widows and other vulnerable groups.
- Raise awareness of the challenges faced by rural communities in Samfya and beyond and promote these through various channels within Christian and non Christian communities within the UK and beyond.
- Operate as an ecumenical partnership consisting of individuals from different Christian denominations
