The Legacy of Libbie
Libbie
Change-maker in Chibolya, Zambia
When Kristin and Ben first came to Zambia they met a vibrant, passionate woman named Libbie. Libbie had lived in a neighboring community all her life. “I love Zambia,” she told us; “What I want is a community where they should know the word of God.” She wanted to do something for her community “so they could have the skills to sustain themselves.” But she simply didn’t have the resources to do that alone.
Libbie was someone who could make things happen. She began to work collaboratively with One Collective and the dynamic team that had started to serve her community by following the ways of Jesus.
Libbie set to work helping young women discover their own potential and rise out of the bondage of domestic violence, abuse, and prostitution.
Libbie was a source of support, joy, and hope to all the vulnerable people of her community. She shared her resources, her time, and herself with the people she loved, helping them to know and understand the ways of Jesus.
Libbie died on April 23, 2022, but her legacy of hard work, determination, perseverance, and hope lives on for all in the community of Chibolya.
