LifeNet Children’s Rescue Mission is the humanitarian arm of Capital Christian Ministries International, a ministry under the leadership of Bishop George and Rev. Beatrice Mbulo.

In the year 2000, Bishop George and Rev. Beatrice Mbulo, who had moved to the USA in 1987, visited Zambia, the land of their birth. Whilst away from their home country, they had heard and read about the scourge of HIV/AIDS and its impact on the Zambian families and society. During their visit to Zambia in 2000 they saw for themselves the debilitating and degrading conditions in which most of the orphaned children were living.

As they drove around some parts of the city of Lusaka, they saw the great need among disadvantaged children, as evidenced by the large numbers of kids begging for help on the streets of the capital city. They interviewed some of the kids they met on the street to find out what had brought about such difficulties in their life. When they asked them where they lived, one of them pointed up a tree, near to a shopping centre, where they had made some makeshift hammocks on the tree branches. Others showed them a large water drainage pipe were they spent their nights.
