The Lutheran Church of Central Africa – Zambia Synod (LCCA – Zambia) continues to grow. The One Africa Team is currently working with the leadership of the LCCA – Zambia to train LCCA members as spiritual shepherds in their local congregations. National leadership is strong and the members are excited about why they assemble and where they are headed. The church is creating a culturally appropriate structure, goal setting, and strategic planning. The church leaders and members actively reach out to neighboring communities and the number of baptisms increases each year.

The LCCA has achieved a great level of maturity as a synod. WELS is incredibly thankful for the LCCA as we partner in outreach to other countries in central and eastern Africa such as The Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.
