Operation and Staffing of Zola Zola Community Center in Malawi: Mbeya continued the operation and staffing of Zola Zola Community Center. We had four full-time Malawian staff living at the center. Mbeya provided school fees, meals and boarding fees for ten youths from the community. Mbeya provided six youth camping/retreats throughout the year, and provided scholarships for students unable to afford the fees. With students from the Bible College, we continued offering classes at the center and evangelism programs in the community. Youth and children's programs, such as drama clubs, choirs, dance clubs and community outreaches reached people in the thousands. Special Christmas, Easter and Mothers Day programs reached community members in the thousands.
