Our Generational History in Zambia

The First Generation of Kendall's serving the people of Zambia began in 1960 when Doug and Katherine Kendall and their three young sons moved to the capital city of Lusaka to work side-by-side with their Zambian brothers and sisters in producing and publishing Christian literature. Doug and Katherine oversaw the operations of the Baptist Publishing House in Lusaka. Through the publishing house, Doug and Katherine, along with four other families from the States, founded and launched the Bible Way Correspondence Course, a five-part course of materials that helped to reach and disciple tens of thousands of new believers throughout all of Zambia. This was the beginning of the Kendall Family Legacy in Zambia and seeds that were planted 66 years ago would continue to impact the next two generations of the Kendall family and still continues today. It was the 4th son who was born in Zambia in 1964, the year of freedom and independence, who later was destined and called to continue the family legacy of service to his country.

A Family Legacy of Missions

After a hiatus of 30 years, the second generation of Kendall's returned to Zambia in the year 2000 with a focus on reaching the orphan and vulnerable population of children whose parents had died during the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Literally hundreds of thousands of this next generation of Zambia children found themselves impoverished and sometimes abandoned with little hope of accessing the education they needed to break the cycle. For the last 25 years, the Kendall family (both Generation 2 and Generation 3) have been working in Zambia to raise up and develop the next generation of servant leaders in the country. The Kendall Family Legacy in Zambia continues today just as it first began in 1960.
