FCV ZAMBIA UPDATE April 09

Two years ago Faith Children’s Village hired Mr and Mrs George Yembe to join the management team at Faith Children’s Village. 
Within a short period of time problems arose that created great tension with both children and staff. 
After trying to resolve the issues biblically to no avail, the Zambia Board of Directors of Faith Children’s Village unanimously voted to terminate the employees contract.

Though the termination was done according to the stipulations of the contract and according to the labor laws of Zambia, Mr & Mrs Yembe filed a lawsuit against Faith Children’s Village for unlawful breach of contract.

The lawsuit is seeking $15,000 in damages and lost employment opportunities.

On Monday morning, 6 April, this case is scheduled to be heard in Kitwe District Court.  Our lawyer assures us that the case has no merit and that FCV has handled matters according to the law.

Pray for Joe Mbewe (pictured above) and me as we head into court on Monday.  Ask that the case might finally be heard and resolved - it has been postponed several times.  Pray that truth and justice might prevail.  Pray that in all things God might receive the glory and praise.

Thank you for being a friend  of Faith Children’s Village, Zambia.
