Faces of Faith – Anthony

Anthony Kasonga, a Zambian national, works at the Mwembezhi Lutheran Mission Rural Health Centre in Zambia as a medical laboratory technologist. Mr. Kasonga manages the lab and assists Mr. Jackson Kalekwa, clinical officer in charge, in overseeing clinic staff. With a diploma in biomedical science, he was inspired to pursue his career due to his love for microbiology. The faith-based nature of the Centre appeals to him, and his favorite phrase is “We treat, and God heals.”

Mr. Kasonga’s favorite Bible verse is John 14:1, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me,” which comforts him in times of trouble. As chairman of Martin Luther Church, he is often thanked by patients he meets in various settings, motivating him to always give his best. He acknowledges the blessings from supporters and the importance of showing kindness and God’s love to patients.
