many ways as we can to

achieve their God given

dreams!

Dream Factory is a team of

dedicated people, from

board-members, to staff, to

volunteers, to supporters

behind the scenes, who are

willing to sacrifice for this

great cause, and pass onto

our fellow man the freedom

we have to live out our

dreams!

Our dream is for the empow-

erment of the people and we

will invest in this with our

time, money, prayer, and

support!

Will you help us?

Zambia is an amazingly

blessed country, home to one

of the seven natural wonders

of the world and recent win-

ners of the continental soccer

cup! We are winners!

Zambia also has a wealth of

natural resources, animals,

forests, water, agricultural

land, and minerals that attract

a lot of large international

investors looking to make a

good business; they invest

with their minds using figures

that might guide them to prof-

it.

Dream Factory is concerned

with another resource; the

human resource! Thus we are

naturally also looking for an-

other type of investor, one

who invests with the heart

using faith that we can make a

difference with our actions.

To actually see change for the

better in people’s lives is the

“profit” we are seeking.

We want to make a difference

and help do something great

in this world! Our heart is for

the people! We will strive to

empower the people in as

hard day’s work in the community.

Computer Course

Considerable progress has been

achieved for the starting of the program

this September with students registered

to study the computer lessons. More news

will come in a later newsletter.

Dream Factory Ministry

The Dream Factory Ministry is progress-

ing very well and very rapidly. Our team

of intercessors do meet to pray for the

ministry every Thursday, and plans are

underway to pave a way for evangelistic

campaigns planned next year in Ndola as

we also are working towards launching a

separate website for the ministry part of

Dream Factory.

Volunteer Program

Two volunteers –Lene Skovbjerg Hansen

and Jakob Iversen are in the country to

teach the Zambian young people what

they know best. Jakob’s specialty is

swimming and Lene’s specialty is dance

and arts. Two more is coming in Septem-

ber and October. If you are interested in

our volunteer program, sent us a mail,

right now we are planning for 2013.

Adopt a Club

The program is progressing with consid-

erable speed; the two clubs that were

trained are still standing and solid.

We have already signed commitment

form with the next two community clubs

in preparation for next year’s program

which will follow the new program that

started on1st September 2012.

Dream House

Apart from the comfortable bed rooms

that we have at Dream house for our vol-

unteers, we have now put up a nice sitting

room with a T.V and DVD player for vol-

Linde.

We have just launched the phase 3 in the

Adopt a Club program, whereby the vol-

unteer coaches will be given more re-

sponsibility e.g. taking charge of the

training as Dream Factory monitors and

advises the volunteers. So far, my expec-

tations have been exceeded by miles!

The volunteers, whom we have educated,

have shown great potential and develop-

ment, within the first week of phase 3.

They have shown commitment and that

they are able to use the skills they have

been taught.

The next process in phase 3 is the hando-

ver of the equipment to the clubs. Al-

ready, we have handed over high quality

training clothes and playing kit, thanks to

our dear donors and friends from the

Danish Superleague (Premier Division)

club Silkeborg IF. We want to include at

least 20 footballs and some cones and

bibs for each club, but at the moment we

struggle to fulfil our wishes. With help

from our friends all around the world, I’m

sure we will get there soon.

As for me, being a part of the beginning

and the carrying out of projects, it is a

special time at the moment, after 1 year of

hard work, getting where we are today.

I’m looking forward to one day come

back and see how the Adopt a Club con-

My name is Henry Sakeni; I am a volun-

teer in Dream Factory

I got inspired to join Dream Factory be-

cause I could sense the Team work; this is

a place where you feel ownership of the

dream. Honesty, Transparency and pas-

sion moved me to join the Dream team.

I strongly believe an organization like

Dream Factory is necessary in Zambia

today because they can see what others

cannot see; they can feel the pain of the

people because they live very close with

the victims and can understand them bet-

ter simply because they listened to them.

Even when they are requesting for Sup-

port it is because they have seen the vic-

tims need.

My life has changed since joining Dream

Factory in that I am now more focused

and my personal dream has started mak-

ing sense now.

In Dream Factory I have personally wit-

nessed communities being helped and

People have started seeing the true love

of God in the community, Through Dream

Factory Ministries intercessory network, I

believe revival is on our way as the nation

again. And through our sports activities,

young people have no much time to stray

or lose track of their lives because the
