St.Virgin Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Zambia-Africa

St.Virgin Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Zambia-Africa:

The Coptic Orthodox Mission is deeply rooted in Biblical and Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria values that motivate all the services that are being offered. The central belief of the mission is that people come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ not only by hearing about Him from the pulpit, but by experiencing His love through compassionate care that serves all of their needs. The church desires to actively participate in building up the people of Africa and the world by extending Christ's love.

In the year 1976, His Grace Bishop Antonios Markos came all alone to Kenya, zealous to spread the kingdom of God. Similar to St-Mark the evangelist, Bishop Antonios Markos came to Kenya with a big heart, and relied on the Lord to lead him. And because of his zeal and faithfulness, the Lord blessed the seeds which he planted. Within a relatively short time, numerous churches were built in several African countries, and many Africans were ordained as deacons and priests.

As the service had grown to more than seven African countries, His Holiness Pope of Alexandria Shenouda III ordained also H.G. Bishop Paul as Bishop of Mission in 1997. Today, some countries are assigned to the care of H.G. Bishop Antonious Markos, and others are assigned to the care of H.G. Bishop Paul. The countries that are assigned to H.G. Bishop Paul are Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Congo, and Nigeria.

We pray that you can hear the Lord calling you to come to serve the poor and needy in Africa. Please pray for the mission.
