The Gomolah Farm Youth Center is a new and urgent ministry born out of the long-standing mission of Tache Home. The vision for Gomolah Farm Youth Center was born out of a period of significant personal struggle. The journey began on a remote piece of land in Kafue (Gomolah Farm) which was initially used to raise funds for Tache Home's daily operations. For two years, Tache Home founder Elizabeth Chitundu faced immense challenges while trying to manage a small livestock farm on this remote piece of land. Despite repeated setbacks, including the loss of animals to theft and predators, she persevered, driven by a deep sense of faith and a prophetic word from her pastor that the land was a "place of ministry."

The true purpose of the farm became clear following a conversation with a mechanic at a local graveyard, where she was struck by the overwhelming number of young people's tombstones – victims of substance abuse and poor lifestyles. In that moment, she received a divine call to transform Gomolah Farm into a youth center. Gomolah Youth Center was birthed – named from the Hebrew word meaning "to recompense or repay" from Jeremiah 51:56. It is a place of restoration, renewal, and reward. This center is envisioned as a sanctuary where young people can find salvation through Jesus Christ, receive counseling, guidance and deliverance, and be guided back to their God-given purpose. This initiative is seen as an urgent and necessary response to the current crisis affecting youths in Zambia.

Vision: To transform the lives of vulnerable youth by equipping them with godly values, practical skills, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Key Activities of Gomolah Youth Center

The center will be an intensively faith-based initiative focused on the spiritual and moral rehabilitation of young people. The core mission will not just be to provide a safe space, but to actively evangelize and minister to youth who are facing challenges like substance abuse and a lack of purpose. Key activities of the center will include:

• Spiritual and Religious Guidance: The center will be a place for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. The primary goal will be to lead young people to salvation and help them develop a personal relationship with God.

• Counseling and Deliverance: The center will address not only the practical challenges but also the spiritual root causes of personal struggles of the youths. Counseling will be a combination of biblical guidance and support for overcoming addictions and destructive behaviors

• Purpose and Calling: The center will aim to help young people realign themselves to their God-given callings, and as such will include programs focused on personal development, mentorship, and discovering one's life purpose through a spiritual lens.

• Practical Skills: The center will also empower the youth with practical skills in crop production, animal husbandry, tailoring, food processing, carpentry, computer literacy and art.

The center will serve the youth in the aforementioned activities for a period of 3 to 6 months per group/intake.

Support Needed

We seek support to build a multipurpose hall, administration block, hostels, basic staff housing initially comprising 3 houses (3 bedroomed) and funding to sink a borehole (the farm currently only has a well). Further support is required for equipment, training partners and prayer to launch the center. Let’s build a generation of godly, skilled young men who become fathers of our land.
