Summary of the November 2009 Enrights' Dinner in Noblesville, Indiana, USA

What Does "Kafakumba" mean?

The name "Kafakumba" comes from Kafakumba Lake in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the Enrights first started ministry. Storks lived at the lake, but the local people killed many of them. The lake was named "Kafakumba", which means "the stork died" or "the dead stork." When the ministry was moved to Zambia, the name came, too. However, in Zambia, "Kafakumba" sounds similar to the local words for "the pig died" or "the dead pig." This caused problems as the people wondered what sort of new neighbors would name their place "The Dead Pig." But the past several years have proven that Kafakumba is actually a wonderful example of how God's love can transform lives.
